You are as thick as shoite rog.
Germany contributes about 15 percent of NATO's budget (the second largest contributor).
You need to look up GDP too rog or get the village elder to do it for you. Dumb RWR.

No mention of GDP. Its just Notch being misleading. He forgets (bless him) that Germany is the second largest contributor (15%) behind the USA (22%). However, Trump does have a point and it has been addressed at today's summit, in that some European countries need to do more in terms of meeting or even upping their budget commitments.

Roger is clueless.
Utter garbage
Any intelligent person would realise it is percentage of GDP that counts. Probably why Noseall makes the point based on GDP only.
United States, 3.61%.
Greece, 2.38%.
Britain, 2.21%.
Estonia, 2.16%.
Poland, 2%.
France, 1.78%.
Turkey, 1.56%.
Norway, 1.54%.
Lithuania, 1.49%.
Romania, 1.48%.
Latvia, 1.45%.
Portugal, 1.38%.
Bulgaria, 1.35%.
Croatia, 1.23%.
Albania, 1.21%.
Germany, 1.19%.
Denmark, 1.17%.
Netherlands, 1.17%.
Slovakia, 1.16%.
Italy, 1.11%.
Czech Republic, 1.04%.
Hungary, 1.01%.
Canada, 0.99%.
Slovenia, 0.94%.
Spain, 0.91%.
Belgium, 0.85%.
Luxembourg, 0.44%.
Germany is the second largest contributor to NATO. Correct.

This is a good article.

Trump as usual makes one or two valid points and then it becomes a train wreck.

I dont know, but imagine US spends a lot on defence, which generates a great deal of manufacturing and expertise. Warfare is increasingly about technology not boots on gtound.
If Europe increased defence spending, maybe US woild get a slice of the action.

Without a doubt.
And now everyone knows (thanks to a bit of parity) that Germany is the second largest contributor and that they contribute nearly 15% of the entire budget. I personally think they should contribute the most.
Odd that you didn't mention GDP in your opening salvo. You only serve to confuse DM readers and people like Rog. I'm always here to correct you though boyo.

Privatise/'contract out' the killing and get more spent on (mainly US) weapons!
The first time the military–industrial complex has said it so blatantly, but with Trump in power....
As for 'saving money', in the long run the killing goes on perpetually so no savings.
Russia is probably thinking along the same lines!
