Wow, that's exactly what we're doing to our own citizens, because you're refusing to pay your dues.

If we were able to de-escalate our spending from 3.6% to 2.0%, we would be able to spend $268,320,000 more on our social services.

I can't believe you're so dumb to make that argument and not consider the corollary. European (and Canadian) freeloaders actively harm the average American citizen.

The fact that 23 of 28 NATO member states do not pay our agreed-upon target (including you), that we are obliged to protect you from Russia, and that defense of Russia just doesn't magically appear with a zero dollar budget.

So yes, you are forcing us to spend more, because you are freeloading.

Note how countries proximate to threats actually pay their budget. Of the 4 European countries (>>72527306 here) that pay their debnts, 3 of them are on the periphery of danger. Then there's the UK.

>b-b-b-but we're nowhere near the danger!
Yeah that sure protected countries in World War 2 when Germany rolled through Belgium. If you don't want to be part of a defensive pact, step out of it, you cuck. We won't defend you. That's fine. That's less territory we need to stretch our collective budget over.

It does, however, include failed military adventurism by France in Libya, however.

Any military alteration with russia would end in nuclear annihilation. Thus radar systems, anti ballistic defenses and better delivery systems are needed.

The tanks, planes and god damn 11 fucking carriers are not going to be used in an alteration with russia. As before they are deployed the world would glow green.

So no, USA do not have to spend that amount of money to protect us from russia- a country with the GPD comparable to Italy.

You are using the russia boggy man to scare us of in paying you protection money.

That's all that is, a mafia scheme for extortion.

>it's more in line to what Russia spends

Good try but you're not quite there.

a.) NATO has expanded since 1988 (the start point on the graph)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlargement_of_NATO

Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Albania, Croatia. It's also recognized Bosnia, Georgia, Macedonia, and Montenegro. Out of all of these new countries, only two pay their dues, Poland and Estonia.

The rest, effectively, are more territory that we have to protect, with less money.

b.) Your graph shows a clear correlation with Britain, France, Germany, and Italy spending less money, 4% to 2.5% (still fine, above 2%), 3.6% to 2.3%, 2.9% to 1.4%, and 2.3% to 1.7%. Combined with more countries applying to NATO, this is a deadly budget cocktail of the "old guard" failing their obligations and the "new guard" (countries that have joined since 1988) thinking that they can be leeches like most of the old guard.

I'm not asking Britain to ramp up its contributions. They're already above 2%, which is the agreed contribution. Every country that is below 2% is currently a leech and needs to increase.
>>
>>72527624

>You didn't pay a dime for NATO in Iraq and Vietnam, you dumb nigger. The 3.7% we spend does not include those failed wars.

1. Vietnam was not a war in the 20 year time period I addressed.

2. no one is forcing you externally to spend 3.7 of your GDP on that, as we are saying from the start, internally your politicians, military industrial complex and wall street speculatnts are actually forcing you to do so and because you can't say no to them, you are shouting at us for not gutting our own frail economies to emulate your aggressor mentality
>>
>>72527710
>I am sorry friend, I just cant see how an even higher spending would be justified

I haven't argued for overall spending to increase.

In fact I explicitly said here >>72527220 if other countries met their own 2% target, the USA could ramp down its spending from 3.7% to 2% matched, and then we can actually spend our own tax dollars on our own citizens.

>>
>>72527883

The agreed upon contribution was bollocks in the first place after the fall of USSR. There is NO political entity today that threatens militarily NATO countries. So, the 2% mentioned is aimed at us emulating you, while not having the economy to do so, because YOU guys do not want to scale back. As your own internal lobbies are holding you by the balls and make you waste enormous amounts of money on fucking military frivolities that are not going to be really used in actual war with either china or russia because MAD.

you aint protecting shit though

>>
>>72527904

Because the initial percentage was set with cold war mentality in mind. It is no longer needed, so instead of scaling down, you beat the drums to scale up, something that can only benefit you guys and your bigger dick foreign policy. It makes no difference if sadam or gaddafi trade their oil in dollars or euroes, but it dose for you. So you go to wars with them, protecting your economic interests, we get nothing in following you there.
>>
>>72528010
>the only reason you accepted us

Key word "accept." You applied. We didn't annex you like the Soviets did.

Why did you apply?

>>
>>72528124

>Because the initial percentage was set with cold war mentality in mind. It is no longer needed, so instead of scaling down, you beat the drums to scale up,

Have you read a single fucking post I've written?

I've outright said that the USA should scale down from 3.7% to 2.0%. This will be offset by Europeans not being freeloaders and actually paying their 2% dues. I give credit to the UK, Greece, Poland, and Estonia: they are doing what they promised to the defense alliance.

That is not "scaling up," that is doing what you promised when you joined the treaty.

If you do not want to pay, leave the treaty. Seriously. No one is stopping you. This isn't Soviet Russia. But you might find yourself part of Russia in 2020.

because serbs were shelling us?
hello, it was war in the neighbourhood and we didnt want any?
>>
>>72528127

>When we get to the heart of that question, we'll continue talking.

In the aftermath of the cold war may eastern european countries were unsure of their future as the world policy and relations were in flux. So we opted in joining NATO to gain a form of stability in the uncertain world. As of now the world is stable and none-threatening. With it we can't really understand as to why the spending must be that high. That is a question you are not answering. It is just assumed we should because you say so. So, 1 to 1.5 percent is a normal sum to pay for defense but that's not enough not because it will not cover it. It will not cover the constant offensive wars you are fighting under the mask of pre-emptive strikes and other bollocks like that.
>>
>>72528262

Congrats, you answered step 1 of the question.
Now onto step 2: why do you think you are entitled to our services without contributing to the NATO budget?

Seriously now. You have 3 options now that the Warsaw Pact is dead, NATO, an EU army, or your own separate national army. You're not required to join NATO.

The only thing required to do while in NATO is to pay into the budget, which is how we pay for all of those neat little toys that protect you from Serbian shelling.

I don't care if you have the most pathetic GDP in the world, 10 million dollars or 10 trillion dollars, so long as you pay proportionally to the budget like everyone else.

>>72528235

I am completely fine with this because it takes burden off us.
>>
>>72528349
>As of now the world is stable and none-threatening. With it we can't really understand as to why the spending must be that high. That is a question you are not answering

So leave the treaty? You haven't addressed this.

If you think the world, which has seen Russia annex chunks of Ukraine and attack Georgia in the past decade, is not dangerous, fine.

Go it alone. I'm legitimately saying this, not sarcasm. You are one less country to defend.

To say "wow paying for this defense pact is dumb" and staying in it, is however, hypocritical. If you don't want to pay for it, leave it.

We need to up our spending. The cutbacks in the Royal navy in particular is shocking. Despite them currently building two new aircraft carriers, new attack submarines and supply tankers, we need many more bread and butter ships like frigates. The 13 Type 23's are coming to the end of their life and they're being replaced with 8 new Type 26 frigates, along with an unknown number of new Type 31. We need much more than that.

I know you guys just see this whole situation with Trump, NATO, and Germany as flippant nonsense, but this has been building from well before Trump, and you should take it seriously.

Did you ever wonder why Obama tapped Merkel's phone? The US has clearly been skeptical of Germany's motives for a while now. The EU has NEVER been in the interests of the US. Obama pretty obviously intentionally provoked Britain to vote leave by going to their country and lecturing them to stay since he knew it'd have an adverse reaction.

The EU is basically Germany's little pet project to politically centralize power in Europe, and meanwhile you're putting in paltry funding to NATO despite being the single largest economy in Europe.

Don't think Trump is joking when he says he wants to renegotiate NATO.

Why should any country pay for NATO, a totally useless organization?

>what is deterrence

did you sleep through history class?
or are you a teenager who thinks that military alliances are designed to increase bloodshed and warfare, not prevent it?

the worst part about deterrence is that it's so easy for uninformed people to see nothing happening, so obviously, they conclude, it's "a waste."

why even bother with any preventative measures anyway? why get vaccines against diseases? "I don't get sick, and I don't see anything happening, so it must be pointless"
>>
>>72531044

Yeah, and when 2024 rolls around, you'll say 2044 is the target for 2%.

Neat.
First the babyboom now this, could it be that your government is actually based?

>your government is actually based?
Lol not really.
The whole babyboom report is sketchy. Taking a leap from fert. rate of 0.8 to 1.4 maybe be significant statistically but it's still below replacement rate.

Their pro-family policies are grand ideas but execution is shit. Poland in a nutshell.
>>
>>72530981
yes yes
I get it. We are still evil bastards and need to be put down before we chimp out again.
Fuck off.

And yes, I take it serious, but I can´t do anything about it so what should I do? Maybe we will pay, maybe not. Only the future knows.

is there anyone scummier than german politicians?

>>72531458
Look, I'm not calling Germany evil. The main problem here is that we basically pay your entire defense, but we're not getting really anything out of it since you're clearly not our post-WW2 glorified vassel anymore.

We also pay for Japan's defense, but they don't attempt to undermine the relationship, so we're completely content defending them. However Germany has been going out and forming unions that are directly bad for us, all the while still having us pay for your shit.

At least pay for our protection, or form your own army. I don't care which.
>>
>>72531899
>or form your own army. I don't care which.

what's outright hilarious to me is that, at least in this thread, they seriously think we care

I don't wish ill will upon Europe, but I don't want their prosperity to come at our expense.
>>
>>72532096
Same here. My main point is that Trump is absolutely right when he says Germany is currently getting more out of the relationship than we are.

NATO, the EU, and our military occupation in Germany really needs to be sorted out.
>>
>>72532194
didn't he and Obama also expand on the trade imbalance between Germany and the US?
>>
>>72531899
Whatever. I hope we pay for the protection.
I want healthier relationships with other countries and paying the debts could bring this dream a little bit closer.

Humor has no meaning in german culture, they are physiologically incapable of grasping it. They can't help but get butthurt at everything and they unironically argue on behalf of the EU.

In most cases our military spending serves a real purpose. It's essentially bribing other countries in exchange for various things.

Specifically in the case with us and Germany and most of Europe though, we've basically been footing their defense spending for little actual benefit for decades now.

Russia is actually in a very unique position right now. You're basically the boogie man for why NATO even exists. Both the US and the EU might try to entice you to join their side as the biggest bargaining chip in this fued.

It's because nobody really perceives you as a threat or particularly ambitious. Germany on the other hand is still clearly very ambitious in the geopolitical world.

We never did such a thing. The 2% target is non-binding.

Same here. The Supreme Commander of our armed forces practically begged our government to do it.

>>72526964
>NATO won't protect Ceuta or Melilla if Morocco attacks

Even that 0.89% it's too much.

>>72526964
Already overpaying.

>>72537201
Frankly our armed branch has always been extremely against it, it's just officepoliticians and those who get carried away by the fearmongering who actually are for it.
