    Well that’s what I’m saying. European countries are giving all they’ve got to give while the US hardly breaks a sweat, yet the US provides a disproportionately large amount compared to the rest. Europe would be in a lot more trouble without the US, once again.

    And I agree the UK deserves a lot of credit for pushing the envelope with tanks and long range and being the security provider for Sweden and Finland during the application process.

      I think we mostly agree. I just disagree with your claim that the US should spend more on Defense.

        I didn’t say the US should spend more, but Europe. Speaking as a European. E: trying to see if editing helps this federate.
