But that number increases and decreases with GDP.


The overall amount does, but not the percentage. My question is why is the United States contributing nearly 4% to NATO instead of the agreed upon 2%? Is it to cover the scofflaws?

Again, we don’t “contribute 4% to NATO.” We spend 4% of our own GDP on our own military budget because we have decided to spend that much of our money on our military. We don’t pay that money to anyone.
