but is only seconded by your grasp of the English language.
I marvel at your freedom to express the zero knowledge you have of everything that isn't you tying the laces on your sneakers.
Your post concedes other countries don't pay their fare share of NATO's costs then post on France's export in arms to warring factions world wide. So, is it France's NATO involvement or is it the warring armament you object to? How about the US? Do you object to US based military companies military output flooding war zones with armament? How about the US involvement in NATO vis a vis military armament being exported to warring factions across the globe? How about US involvement in proxy wars - where do you and Trump stand? How about the US supporting special interest groups who meddle in affairs of other countries or the US exporting western culture and products to warring or feuding groups where NATO is involved?
The only possible subject you come close to getting right is the American Tax payer affording military spending for NATO and US troops fighting against wars our own military based companies (France too and any other country producing armament sales for war) supply, but then you only hit upon that by accident.
NATO is a mishmash of bureaucracy and political manipulation - but if it wasn't there, WW III would have happened already.
