[@paweldurczok]

This is why I was so surprised when Trump implied that the US might reduce its commitment or even withdraw from NATO if the other members won't increase their defense spending. I was surprised for two reasons. First, the US makes the most amount of money from being in NATO - Americans are pissed that the US spends billions on military aid for Ukraine, but who do you think benefits from that the most? Who fullfilles those contracts? The US military complex. You think those billions should have been spent on improving the lives of Americans and you're probably right, but the reality is that money was never meant for American citizens. Only American interestes. Second reason is that since 1990 only one country truly benefited from NATO - the US. The only time when Article 5 was activated was after 9.11. Do you really think that Trump will be able to go against the US military complex? This is a genuine question, I'm not being facetious. Republican voters seems to think so, but I think it's naive to believe that.
