We shouldn’t be obligated to put in more. We need to just contribute our 2%.
I am 100% in favor of your proposal to slash the United States defense budget nearly in half, from around 3.5% of our GDP down to 2%.
Based on the fact that your post has 16 upvotes vs only 2 downvotes, it is clear that the majority of this board agrees with you as well.
Gee, it'd be pretty embarrassing for you guys if you were all on here bitching about the 2% figure without realizing that it refers to DOMESTIC defense spending and not some kind of check we write to NATO. Thankfully, I know a Trump supporter would NEVER bitch about an issue they were completely ignorant regarding. So when do we start calling our representatives to tell them that the silent majority demands that we cut the military in half?

Exactly how do we support NATO if there is not a check writing in there somewhere? As someone said, you're arguing semantics here. I don't directly pay the farmer that grows the wheat for my loaf of bread but anyone with common sense knows I support his livelihood. Same thing with this NATO shite.
