Why is Trump wrong? If Russia attacks NATO, the US will be obliged to defend NATO, but if NATO doesn't have enough to defend themselves until the US gets there, then there will be nothing for the US to defend. NATO needs to wake up and not rely 100% on the US. Btw in WW2 France and UK had a treaty to defend Poland. Poland fell quickly and UK and France couldn't do crap about it.

Hmm. It is "all for one, one for all." That means all for one. It also means one for all. And if you are expecting other countries to subsidize your self defense force, you shouldn't be in NATO because not only can you not protect your own country, you can't protect other countries that are counting on you either. You are shoplifiting home defense.

Oh yeah "we" will all respond. But what exactly does the U.K. add to what the U.S. would bring? Or to put it another way, if Germany was attacked does it really matter that much that Italy would help? In reality "NATO" is the U.S.

Nicholas is way too smart for this show. Better. Give him his own show!

Guardian propagandists are a mockary. Even withought most of the context the quote that america wont come to the defense of delinquent nations makes perfect sense.

If you dont pay your membership you aint in the club.

Why should we believe that a country who is not doing their part will enter the fight when the moment of truth comes?

Does no one remember World War 1 and how treaties dragged countries who absolutely didn’t want war into it? Think about it!

"Context" AKA the kryptonite of the corporate media.

It's not just military spending though. In a NATO involved military conflict Germany and France do a lot less than they could. They weren't involved in the fighting in Afghanistan for example. They insisted their soldiers were sent where there was no fighting. Most of their relatively tiny number of deaths were in car accidents and guys having heart attacks in the gym. That's not totally true but you know what I mean. Look at the Red Sea situation. Some of the imports of Germany and France go through the Red Sea but it's left to the US and the UK to deal with it.

if you pay for protection from a security service, or in a street sense or prison sense, you dont get protected

We would likely consider it a form of abuse where one party has to contribute a majority of money/effort in order for a relationship to work. The same applies to relationships between nations. The US has been taken advantage of for a long time has basically also subsidized so called European "Socialist Democracies " that are put on a pedestal as ideal societies, but are really ticking time bomb welfare states. Enough of the nonsense!

Note the importance of dialogue rather than echo chambers. The two initial jokers were full on passing the kool-aid, and one short injection of logic by Nicholas and (somewhat to my surprise) not only did their heads not explode after the “Trump was proven right” comment, but they quickly changed their tune. Shocking how little thought people put into their positions, especially when criticizing Trump is their main motivating factor.

Every country should use the 2% mandated.

Britains 2% includes pensions to ex armed forces, that % is growing yearly.. compensation to armed forces comes from its defence budget, R&D comes from the defence budget.. All this leaves very little for front line troops. Training, equipment, wages etc..

Great job Nicholas, solid commentary.

"we will respond" um, with what? the point is that if countries are not spending 2% of their income, like they agreed to, to build up their defence forces, then it won't be "all for one" or "we will all respond", because most countries don't have a defence force, they are hoping that another country will come help them if country A does not have a defence force, how can they help anyone else?

The problem here is that this is from about 2017/8 when a NATO country tried to imply that their country should get a free ride on defence and America should pick up the bill. All NATO countries committed to spending 2%, yet very few have done that. So some people are arguing that only American should fund defence of Europe?

As I understand it, there is no big pot of money. NATO suggested each country put 2 percent of it's money into it's own defences. America is not paying for the rest. Also with Ukraine I think they said more than 80percent of the money earmarked for Ukraine stays in the US in the form of manufacturing and jobs for the arms.
