    So you basically admit “if at any part a country hasn’t reached the obligated 2% they shouldn’t be defended by nato”?

      It wouldn’t be a problem if it were a few countries but it’s almost all of them.

        Not what I asked. You agree with Trump, which means you agree with what I asked you. Any nuanced opinion saying “countries might need to contribute more” aren’t what he said.

          Yes I agree that countries that don’t meet the 2% shouldn’t be in nato. People could let it slide if it were a few countries but it’s majority of nato and the countries can clearly afford it.

          Tell me why the us should continue to meet its nato obligations when none of the other members do?

            Yeah, so you are just plain wrong and don’t know what you are talking about.
