NATO leaders agree to lift defence spending ahead of Trump talks

[@sharksbreath7]

How many years has this been going on now? Trump is just the first president actually willing to do something about it.

[@tamimrktz6966]

Trump is not even in office and already breaking through mountains.

[@zubversivezigotto9731]

They mocked him 8 years ago.

[@Issacandjacob]

Liberals are done forever, the ideology of liberlism, is done, because they couldn’t contain it, it spread like a virus, and they accepted it like npcs. And humans can’t ever get enough of what they want.

[@resolute1306]

We still mock him.😂

[@grantsapain]

Trump's not even in office yet, & he's already changing the world. The Trump effect...

[@ZenoSamaOmniKing]

changing world ? 😂😂

[@grantsapain]

@ZenoSamaOmniKing Without a doubt. Hamas wants a ceasefire, Putin wants a peace settlement, & NATO deadbeats are starting to pay up...

Why the hell would anyone use citizen money to protect other countries!

[@Sunnyday743]

IKR!?! USA been a pushover.

[@xandercruz900]

The same way you use your tax dollars to protect other homes with a fire department. So that a fire in one home becomes a fire that engulfs an entire city.

[@hotchihuahua1546]

The US should not carry the burden of the world on its shoulders alone !

[@sneb1224]

They have no burden to carry. They should just foff and leave us alone. Dafaq do you think you are? Do your own thing in your own country. We don't like you and we don't need your faqn mongering. Do you realize that the world is countering your interference in other countries' affairs?

[@alexp8764]

You've been living with wars for years, busting the balls of the entire globe, finance them yourself, if it were up to me, whoever wants to go to war can do it alone and not with my money. The USA is the first among the countries that traffic and make a living with weapons

[@Jasper2740]

Europe is a joke.

[@alexp8764]

We already pay too much... and it's not us Europeans who want your useless and stupid wars.

[@SPACEMAN_fkYT]

They can increase it enough to cover what the US would pay if we were still in NATO. That's an organization that's a waste of money. A job for DOGE.

Perhaps the US should lift its spending to match polands per capita. The US is behind.

Good

[@andrewvarcoe4741]

They will always be asking and wanting for more, even when they should have enough, they ask for more. Times are tough and they want to tell everyone they are going to spend more, not save anything and avoid increase. They just allowed a country that started or was involved in a war to join them and then they say they need to increase in their spending!? Always an excuse or a reason to tell everyone they will be spending more, best part is, they use percentages and the guy said directly they did not want to put a number on it yet, because they know it is already too much. There are boatloads of ways to cut costs, but these people running things are too busy trying to explain away and cover up their waste of fund and their mistakes in judgment, making new departments and increases in costs when they should be reducing or cutting costs. Billions of dollars have been spent overseas in less than about two or three years....on a conflict that is foreign to the u.s. Not one person has given good reason to explain why ukrain is fighting so hard against russia or why russia is fighting so hard to win.

Yeh, minor members, lol. Poland has been outstripping the US in per capita contributions for years, and without whining like trump.

[@Covaids]

Well ain't Poland stupid for contributing to a corrupt organisation,maybe they could give you some money to get your TDS sorted.

[@mikezappulla4092]

Per capita… you might want to read up on how much money the USA has directly given to Poland to help modernize their military.

[@xandercruz900]

per capita =/= actual numbers.
