Lol, Europeans having to pay tribute to Lockheed martin and Raytheon will never not be funny. Apologies to the true comrades there.

Gotta pay membership fees for the imperialist club so you get an invite to American hunting trips in the mid east and Africa.

There's this big push for more NATO spending in Europe that goes hand in hand with budget cuts in healthcare, education, retirement, etc. NATO already spends a tenfold of what Russia, their closest current enemy, spends.

But libs and socdems don't think further than news headlines and are all frothing at the month at the thought of spending more.
