They know they look bad. Now they see how impotent they are. Moochers. They promised 3% of GDP in Trump’s first term, but they waited and hoped, and sure enough, spineless BidenHandlers let them off the hook.
Now Trump is demanding 5%. Spain says no - their membership in NATO is, of course voluntary NT so is the US’s.
No more sugar daddy crap. Yes, I know the importance of NATO. But believe me, they do as well. It is not worth our while to be in NATO if we have to foot the bill. We can do just fine on our own. They know this as well. And they know Trump will act.
This time, it’ll be at the start of Trump’s term. No Biden Bale Out.
