At the same time in North America they could inform Canada that they need to start spending more or America would take over the aerodefense of North America and Canada wouldn't have a seat at the table.
And Pylon I know that yours is the populust and somewhat hilarious view. But would you then subtract from that budget figure the good that came from America's involvement in NATO? Just curious.

I know for example Iceland could not fulfill 2% of GDP to a military since we don't have one.
But the US would never let Iceland not have a base, its in their defense interests to keep NATO in Iceland.
But its certainly silly that Germany and France are not paying their share, these are 2 strong economic powers.
