It's the same with the US paying more than its fair share of the NATO budget he likes to harp on about.
He's right about that; however we do get a lot back from that in other ways that aren't directly tied to budget support, not to mention the goodwill of the countries that are actually on the frontlines fighting wars, unlike America right now.
Like, pulling out of NATO is not the solution to the other countries not paying their "fair share", nor is forcing tariffs on the world because you don't understand what a trade deficit is because you apparently bonespurred your way out of college too.
NATO is a critical effort that should not be hampered by which countries have what amounts of money to put in, but in the desire to stand united against truly great evil rising again like it did in 1914 and 1939. Everyone helps out in the ways they can best do it. European countries are literally on the frontlines of our current proxy wars and need our help to keep it from spilling over elsewhere. Because if that happens, the nickles and dimes we're spending on NATO above everyone else will seem like chump change.
