What the hell is NATOs mission on Terrorism in Europe? I definitely consider the attacks on Europe to also be an attack on the US.

Does NATO patrol the Med, inspect ships, help with security ? Anyone know ?

Yes, that's Standing NATO Maritime Group Two;

So 23 of 28 NATO countries aren't paying their dues. That's kind of crazy. I thought Trump was pretty good on this, he said the AMerican Taxpayers are footing the bill for your security- I paraphrase. I think the US pays 70% + of the NATO budget.


How you feeling about NATO these days.

I'm ambivalent about it, but Canada is the 6th largest spender in NATO, if we doubled our defense budget, we'd be the 6th largest spender in NATO, so doubling our defense spending wouldn't do anything for us by Trump's idiotic metrics, hence; fuck that.

Ambivalent is a good word for it. Sometimes I wonder if it's run it's natural course, kind of like the Hanseatic League

Yeah, just asking for more cash is rarely a good answer. Trump did take a swipe at NATO's new Brussels HQ building

Yeah, well, you Americans live in a media bubble alright, apparently you think that it reflects the real world; just another reason you're a bunch of idiots.

The media faithfully reports all of Donald Trump's gibberish, just before they report on all of Justin Trudeau's blubbering, big whoop, they're both clowns.

It's a 24 hour news media with nothing to report 90% of the time, so they just run a loop of celebrity poltician follies, and most people pay no attention to it, who knew? Lowest ratings of anything on TV.
