@thinkdefence - Interesting, one could ask what actual benefit being the "US partner of choice" has actually brought the UK ????
A copy of Mattis' letter to Britain’s Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson, saying that Britain, which already meets the NATO goal of 2 percent, should increase defense spending https://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCAKBN1JT1S3-OCATP …pic.twitter.com/MHkh0NDf4v

Trump's mission isn't about controlling spending, it's about initiating infighting for members and undermining NATO alliance for Russia's benefit.https://twitter.com/idreesali114/status/1014172825144393728 …

Why don't we ask the 200-300 dead Russians who were "annihilated" at the orders of General Mattis in February. You think Putin thinks that was for "Russia's benefit" also?https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-13/u-s-strikes-said-to-kill-scores-of-russian-fighters-in-syria …

What they don't tell you is those forces were not military force according to Russia but were mercenary forces. US forces called Russia to stand them down and they continually said its not Russian military. So we fucked them up when they fired on the US forces. Sucks to suck.

So literally moving the goalposts so they can say Britain's not in compliance? Creating a false rationale to leave NATO. At what point do people realize that he is 100% a Putin puppet?

What makes Trump and the WH think they can tell another nation that is already spending a fair proportion of GDP on defense , that they have to spend more or not be supported by US. They should know that Trump will only be loyal to Russia.

For the first time in its history, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) invoked Article 5, allowing its members to respond collectively in self-defense, and on October 7 the U.S. and allied military forces launched an attack against Afghanistan (see Afghanistan War).

Mad Dog isn’t a war monger. He is a believer on a strong military being a deterrent to war. No country attacks another they think is stronger.

Since when does tRUmp rule the world? My prediction: the US will lose its allied military backings, leaving only the US in the Middle East. While vulnerable, ISIS or the taliban will seize the opportunity to pounce. They’ve been too quiet... waiting patiently.

A well written letter from the head of DOD to request a top ally continue to spend generously on its military. This is the most normal thing to happen today in Washington. He probably wants his own budget bigger too. Just imagine a dept. head wanting that.

Why shouldn’t they? Serious question. Why should US carry the bulk? Most of these countries including the UK weren’t meeting their 2% commitments for years and even decades. It’s odd how American journalism think it’s wrong to ask allies to step up. Why is it wrong?
