It's better than being in no alliance at all. Truthfully, if Russia for some damn fool reason actually makes an issue out of the Baltics, it's questionable whether the US (and let's be honest, it's the only NATO member that actually matters) would risk escalating up to a nuclear exchange over them.

It's complicated. NATO wanted both Turkey and Greece as members so they could control the Bosporus+Aegean and lock the Russians in the Black Sea.

However, the extremely poor relations between Greece and Turkey could not be sorted out, so both countries were admitted together in 1952, since new members need to be unanimously approved by the member states, but Greece and Turkey would veto each other's membership if any one of them joined first.

Well numbers don't say everything, countries like Poland and Greece (both more than 2% GDP defense spending) are mostly spending it for measures to defend their own country, while a country like Belgium (0.9% GDP defense spending) actively bombs IS in Iraq/Syria, sends F-16s for the NATO Baltic air-policing mission and contributes frigates and minehunters for NATO maritime/mine-countermeasure groups. Who contributes more to NATO? I guess it depends on your viewpoint.

Also the anti-NATO sentiment is worrying desu. The Western world benefits greatly from the most comprehensive and biggest military alliance the world has ever seen. It has its flaws, but nothing that can't be fixed. Most (if not all) European countries are increasing their defense budget, although it will take some time before we see the effects.
>>
>>32670017
>MUH 2 %

Percentage isn't everything. Take the turkshits, they are still the second largest military in NATO after the USA. Sure they're turkshit and are currently getting buttfucked by isis goatfuckers in Syria, and sure their wages are way lower than those from another country, however last time I checked they are richer than Greece. Yet according to this graph they spend less on defense relatively.
Yet they do have more soldiers, more tanks, and even more fighter jets, and are modernising their forces very fast.

Don't give me quality versus quantity, percentage of GDP do not mean anything regarding military capabilities.
However a particular type of weapon, especially bought from oversea, will still cost the same. That's when looking at the amount of money spent on defense by a country is relevant.

This graph is merely suggesting some countries should spend more for the sake of it. Meanwhile, ruinous foreign politics involving a retarded amount of warmongering only made the US poorer.

What's the logic behind all of this ?

The 2% bar is as ludicrous today as the 3% was during the cold war. Every country is running after cheaper weapons, more durable gear and affordable vehicles. Why is that do you think ? Because they want bang for bucks. In the near future it is very possible a country spending 1.5% of its GDP in defense will fare as well as it was 10 years ago while spending 2.5%.

Niccolo Macchiavelli used to say :
>the victory remained with him who held the sinews of war to consist, not in money, but in good soldiers.
Titus Livius, chapter 10

Really makes me think.

Oh also, NATO can't be fixed and won't be.

Poland has some, but it mostly has T-72s. It also has very little navy to fund with its budget, which obviously the other three spend a bit of money on.

> In the near future it is very possible a country spending 1.5% of its GDP in defense will fare as well as it was 10 years ago while spending 2.5%.

This is a completely fucking stupid way to try and justify spending less, because it assumes that your potential foes aren't also upgrading their abilities.

If the US pulls out of NATO you guys wouldn't spend a penny less on defense. No, you'd spend ever more because you'd lose tons of strategic bases, direct supply lines and your most trustworthy allies.

No, fuck you and everyone like you. You're the reason why people roll their eyes at us overseas. You're a weak and fickle shit and I'm tired of your infantile whining.

Shut the fuck up and realize NATO is more about bases, staging grounds, and denying territory to the Russians than it is about having vassals. The last thing we need is a strong and independent Europe to counteract our weight in the world. The last thing we need is for people around the world to think they can't rely on us, to start cutting us out of the loop, and start building up their own armed forces.

They don't expect big brother do do everything for them. If we gave Russia half of the aid we've given Europe, it would be impossible for Euros to compete.

We did the same with Japan and the Sorks, but at least they aren't backstabbing cunts.

What is contract required time in service. Military downsizing was not as dramatic or as easy as it was post desert storm.

Why "fix" what isn't broken?

The US spends the most because it wants the most influence. If the US wants to spend as much as the next 30 countries, (28 of which are allies), then let them piss away their money.

The entire point of a military alliance is that it is cheaper, and the countries involved can reduce their spending to a minimum level relying on mutual defense.

Canada has no excuse, our PMs keep making shit up like "we can't afford it" (as they send billions in welfare and gimidats to foreign nations) or the "Canada provides more to NATO than others, we don't need to be at 2%"..

Our governments (Provincial ones too) need a major purging.


As for Iceland, they made some deals with the USA to make it that way.

Basically Iceland is a self governing territory or the USA, kinda like Guam or PR... but more autonomous, no House Rep.
>>
>>32670017
It'd work better if the money was spent more intelligently with regards to each country's role in NATO. Specialization instead of generalization.

Example, the UK doesn't really need an army, they're a goddamm island. Their 2% should be spent almost entirely on navy, and air force, in that order.

Anyone east of Germany should be spending their budget on air defense and tanks. Their role is basically to try and hold up Warsaw pact forces for as long as possible, with air support from Germany and such, until German army, and ultimately the US military can arrive for the counter attack.
>>
>>32680610
That would be a great way to provoke the Russians mate. And to make the nato member-states bordering the warsaw countries not want to be in nato as their role basically becomes meat shield.

Alright I know this is pretty much heresy, but what's the fucking point of NATO right now?

Russia is not the superpower that requires the entire free world to counter it. That threat doesn't even exist. NATO should be dissolved into some less formal mutual defense agreement

Either that or America can vassalize the world already and take over their military responsibilities. Worked great for Japan and Germany. Imagine an entire planet full of Japans and Germanys, all cradled by the loving high caliber arms of freedom.

Turkey is Muslim and only in NATO to get US equipment. Otherwise Turkroaches are Muslim cultural enemies of civilization. After the very popular Erdogan government wipes out secularity and constitutional government expect it to go full nationalist dictatorship.

Greece is wise to arm. The historic threat to southern Europe is Muslim. The historic threat to Europe as a whole is Russian. That has not been and will never be different.

It's not worth keeping on life support for the sake of the butthurt of poles and balts, whose shitty relationship with russia has just as much to do with their own retardation as with russia's aggression.

>I don't want to fight stupid wars anymore. I don't want my kids to fight the same goddamn wars my father and I fought in.

Then don't volunteer. See how easy that is? Soldiers consent to war even if that consent may be slightly coerced. Become a conscientious objector and problem fucking solved.

All militaries are essentially volunteer forces. Some people aren't smart enough to dodge conscription and Combat Darwin will take care of them.

We make use of their resources and no reason exists for Canada to have armed forces.

EU-Russia relations would get a lot better if US pulled out of NATO and consequently pulled its troops and equipment out of Europe though, I don't get why no one realizes that.
Of course Europe would have to spend a lot more on defense in case that happens, mainly to beef up numbers of aircraft, surface combatants and tanks/armoured vehicles, but more importantly to invest in more strategic airlift, tanker aircraft, AEW and SIGINT. Things European countries would lack in if the US ever pulled out.

Oh if you're so certain that Russia is weak, then you won't mind if the US leaves NATO. We both know you don't want that, and we both know why. However, you don't get to make the choice. The growing anti-NATO sentiment in America is the direct result of the Euroshits, as many others have said, sandbagging and talking shit on the people who supply armed forces to protect them. Good riddance, you scummy pieces of shit.

Oh boy, US education at its best. Iceland is a sovereign country and one of the founding members of NATO.
You might think of Greenland (which is also no US territory).

Russia still has a shitton of nukes. Let every bigger european country stock up on nukes (let say 200 each) and the USA can leave without a problem.

Congrats, you just lost influence on your biggest export market and a lot of your strategic bases are gone.
>>
>>32684154
That's pretty cool, but the thing is, we can simply double down on trade in the Pacific. "impossible! It won't work!" I can hear it now, but this will put Russia and possibly China into an economic boom and we can then downsize our military and focus on economics.
>>

>sandbagging and talking shit on the people who supply armed forces to protect them
kek, victim complex much? I could turn it around and say you're talking shit on the people who gave their life for your country in Afghanistan after you invoked Article 5.

Anyway, there's no hate against the US armed forces. More against Obongo's foreign policy which is directly responsible for the worst diplomatic relations with Russia since the Cold War. I hope Trump pulls out US troops from European soil so relations can normalize again. Any worries the Baltics and Poland might have, could be dealt with among European NATO countries themselves.
>>

Sure thing, can't wait to see all those indian and chinese rice farmers with iPhones and oversized cars.
And Russia wasn't able to build a stable economy when oil prices were high and they were on good terms with the West - plus a lot of them still hate the USA.

Without the Marshall plan and the American occupation, the Soviets would have turned all of Europe into Kaliningrad, and the best places in Europe would be roughly as prosperous today as Poland, or maybe Slovakia.

Well and to actually create trade partners out of demolished shitholes.

Yeah sorry 'bout that, mate. Y'see we're kind of hesitant to send in young men to risk their lives based on a hard to swallow "WMD" story. Your willingness to jump into any altercation without due consideration of the potential.. uh, what do you call it? clusterfuck! yeah that's it. And the munitions we'd be expending (whatta surprise) is sourced from you guys. Just the tip of the iceburg.

btw, how's the restabilizing and rebuilding an open, civil, and just society going on in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc? Should be a walk in the park for big strong guys like you.
