Pentagon chief says NATO members must boost defense spending

U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Wednesday issued a sharp ultimatum to NATO Wednesday, telling allies they must start increasing defense spending by year's end or the Trump administration will "moderate its commitment" to them.

"No longer can the American taxpayer carry a disproportionate share of the defense of Western values," Mattis told the alliance's 27 other defense ministers, according to a text of his remarks. "Americans cannot care more for your children's future security than you do."

Sending 8 'observers' to augment three deployed US divisions isn't good enough anymore?

Just the other day a British member here laughed in our faces for our carrying his country's defense burden.

It is so beautiful to have some people with balls as leaders AND who are willing to say things that need to be said regardless of feelings.  It is like a refreshing, cool breeze on a warm summer's day!

What pisses me off is that so many of our NATO allies are spending huge amounts of money on social welfare programs, giving their citizens all this free shit, while America provides the umbrella of protection for their societies, and then our people sit around and whine that we're not more like these countries.

They are going to call our bluff.


At the end of the day they know we wouldnt stand for London, Berlin, Paris et al falling into an invading enemy's hands or be destroyed.

I think we'll see spending increases from most of them. They may not be as big as we want them to be, but pressure will be applied and they will start chipping in more. The Bear is on their front porch and Trump scares the shit out of them.

Maybe if we stop paying for the rest of the world, we could start funneling that money to paying off our debt.  Gotta start somewhere, right?

I've been told by many Europeans that Europeans don't need us to pay for their defense anyways since nothing has happened (wonder why?) and likely never will. I say done deal; America first.

I've been told they never needed or wanted us.  They had Hitler right where they wanted him.  We were actually in the way and unwelcome.


Well, bye.

At this point, Europe would be better off under Russian control. 

Better than Islamic control.

There is a difference between holding hands and giving money all the time and sending our troops in and fucking up their enemy once.
