NATO doesn’t have bills though and the defence expenditure amounts are a percentage guideline against GDP, or something like that. It’s not like USA is somehow ’paying it’s way’ with more into the NATO kitty, it just spends more on military than most other members as a percentage of GDP. That’s my understanding.
Anyway, it’s a military alliance which provides it’s own strengths and Trump is just completely and publicly undermining it. I mean he could have said he is totally committed to it and would absolutely stand by it’s alliance members under any threat.
Presumably he could ask others to work in the background to try and raise other states defence spending if that’s a problem. They’ll likely have to do that anyway, if they’ve any sense and cash to do so. This is because of Putin’s actions and not Trumps. Trump is just doing Putin’s work for him by undermining NATO, the stupid bellend.
Anyway, it’s exhausting and I didn’t like having to type ‘members’ even once.
