You mean because most of that time it's been the U.S. keeping NATO a reality with constant infusions of funding and cutting-edge military weaponry and systems?

NATO is bought and paid for by American dollars, increasing our national debt.

I'll help you out on this one too. But next time, you're gonna have to do your own fact checking. Fair?
Are you under the impression that there are dues or something for NATO? That there's a pile of money that everyone must contribute to?

The goal is for every country in NATO to spend a certain percentage of their own GDP on their own military. We don't pay for their military. Just our own. We spend more than the military even asks for. Unless, of course, it's to take care of our veterans. That excessive spending actually does increase our national debt. Eisenhower warned us about letting the military industrial complex get out of control.

If you're just looking for my attention and/or a debate, I'll happily engage with you. But not if you're not willing to do ANY fact checking before commenting. Knowledge is power. Thanks to the internet, you can access so much of it. You should give it a shot.
