@AverageJoe1 saidAnd of course you believe the Supreme Court.
I did not mention defensive or offensive.
You are losing it. I wrote about contributions by country.
Latest info has Scotus determining that democrats are racist, given their decision. The best way to stop discriminating,,,,are you listening sue......it to stop discriminating on the basis of race.
Curious....is the race thing all you have? Are you running out of moves?
Because they are 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats.
This is a recipe for corruption.
@AverageJoe1 saidPerhaps you should ask your leaders not to spend such a ridiculous amount of money on the war machine, and instead spend it on its population. You know, the sick and needy and all that.
USA. $980B
Germany $94 B
UK. $91 B
France. $66B
Italy. $49 B
Netherlands $19B
Romania. $5B
Homework: Google your country, and proudly report. Hopefully no one getting a free ride.
I'd be embarrassed,,,,,,our umbrella may not be big enough for all of you. Socialism on a large scale....does it look faaaaaaair to you fellers?

@AverageJoe1 saidThe U.S. share of the direct budget was reduced from over 22% prior to 2019 to 16% in 2024–2025 and 14.9% in 2026 to encourage fairer burden-sharing among allies.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidHave you seen his record? We are energy independent, we have taken on dictators across the Globe, who were impeding commerce (Trump is BIG on commerce)..who violate human rights and are a threat to America's security,
Wrong president.
One Hundred Percent expensing for factories, govt child tax credit, largest school choice measure in American history, Health care and housing, stopped influx of illegal aliens, cleaned up 7 wars, working on another one. No longer will we have to build up antinuclear facilities to fight Iran. Unemployment making records. DOW up 13% in 2025. Look what is doing now. (+800 yesterday) And what it WILL be doing in a few weeks. I hope you got invested.
Ye of little miind, he is the RIGHT president. Kamala would not have stopped any war, and let Iran just keep it up!!! And not possibly made the presidential discisons which resulted in the world's greatest economy
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidI I am not want to get bogged down in a bunch of numbers, but it appears that you have pretty much convinced Sue and Sunhouse that America is not doing it share at NATO or some such as that? (?)

@AThousandYoung saidQuestions in the Forum by their very nature have to stand on their own. This tripe is hardly a question.

Run over to the Science Forum and type that question,,,,,,see what type of responses you get .
The Forum can be arduous.
@AverageJoe1 saidOr you could answer the question... or at least try to.

It illustrates how dumb your question was.
@AverageJoe1 saidAnd the American people are quite rightly pissed off.

@Great-King-Rat saidThere's close to no chance of that. Trump and company had to be stealthy about it during the first term, but now that he is a lame duck, he feels he can pull out all the stops and treat America the way he wanted to from the beginning, so the kid gloves are off. It'll only get worse as he realizes his time is getting shorter.

@AverageJoe1 saidI think that's right, my numbers are real general
Thankyou for your response.
Given the 2% requirement of GDP, USA would meet that $508B. yet we pay $980B./
Canada GDP is $2.24T. 2% to NATO would be $40B, so you are certainly doing your part at $60B, I think that's right, my numbers are real general
I had a number once, but it was only a corporal. The other numbers were mean to it. It ran away from home one day and never returned. Now I'm all alone in the world without a number. 😕
