  1.  @bcstechnologylimited896  Driving cheaper and faster for distances under 300 - 400 miles? In France they run HRS for those distances (Marseille - Paris) and it beats out the plane and the car.

  2.  @gooser__43  That is false. They don't want the current model but in Europe the rail succesfully replaces aircraft on some routes and is a very convenient way for travelling

  3. Reminder: No they don't. Our security does not depend on the pacific ocean where more than half of your fleet is currently stationed. Allmost all troops in Germany are logistics personnel for your operations in the middle east. The direct contribution to NATO is not outstandingly higher.

  4.  @bcstechnologylimited896  A) No. While the US spends 73% of the entire NATO military spending by country, not even half of it is going towards NATO related activities. Your USS Ronald Reagan stationed in Japan does not count as NATO support because it is well outside the area that NATO covers. B) The direct costs of NATO. The US spends some 20%, Germany 15% or so... C) UN? Lion's share? The US spends 22%, Japan 10%, China 8%, Germany 6% of UN costs. And Germany + Japan do not even have a veto right in the UN Security council so that is that.
