Republicans were saying that Europe isn't spending 2% of their GDP on defense, while USA are forimg 90% of NATO capabilities. In fact, NATO originally was founded to solve 2 targets - to contain and threat Soviet Union and Russia, and second purpose of NATO existance was to spread American hygemony and influence over Europe. In 1945 Europe was in ruins after WW2, and United States made a Marshall plan of economic help to Europe, accoring to which European states who will join NATO will receive American money as credit, and then they must spend this money on American goods. So, United States simply colinised Europe after WW2 using NATO and Marshall Plan, NATO is an instrument of American hygemony over Europe. And this is why Russia wasn't allowed to join NATO in 2002, when Putin officially proposed to join the alliance - Russia had huge army in 2002, and United States don't need competition inside NATO, because if Russian proposal to join NATO was approved, there was also a significant Russian influence inside alliance. Also, in 1952 USSR proposed to join NATO, but got rejected, and this proves that NATO is not a defensive alliance that provides security in Europe - if NATO was an alliance with purpose to provide security, then there are a principle, that security of everyone is security of all, and you can't provide your security bu sacrficing the security of others, and when USSR was rejected from joining NATO in 1952, USSR simply proved that NATO isn't saint defensive alliance, but rather an agressive anti-Russian offensive alliance, that wants the destruction of Russia, and in 2002 Russia also proposed to join NATO and got rehected, and this is why USSR and Russia have all rights to defend themselves and make a buffer zone out of Ukraine by using military invasion, in order to not repear Cuban missile crisis of 1962, but from other side. Democrats are prioritizing American hygemony in Europe, sacrficing European security, while Republicants want Europe to spend more on their army. This is why I am as a Russian citizen and hacket will vote for sleepy Joe in coming elections, because only sleepy Joe can provide Russia a better conditions.
