This is weaponized stupidity. That it happens after 2 calls w/Putin tells you where this idea came from. NATO funding targets are based on members spending 2% of GDP on defense. They don't write checks to the US gov't. They would increase their military budgets.
-
Why can't they get him to understand that we don't extort from our allies?
-
He talks to Putin alone. He also has sycophants around him. Mattis will be making calls to our allies to tell them to ignore this drivel. Putin's aim is to use Trump's stupidity to break up NATO by threatening that the US will withdraw from it unless he gets a check.
-
Oh. That's so comforting.
-
What is America going to win? Is this an international version of the Apprentice but with nations and real lives at stake!!??
-
Mattis has to be the buffer here and tell Trump that the US can't renege on NATO commitments. Mattis will also have to lobby the Senate to put a stop to any attempt to use the budgeting process to fulfill this stupid idea.

So the USA is now a Mafia family offering protection for a price? I don’t think we are sliding into the abyss - we hit bottom.
