Are they?  We like to insist they are getting a benefit for US military spending.  Do they agree?  I think not.  Trump is right, NATO is obsolete and has been since 1999.  So is our security guarantee to South Korea and Japan.  Hell we could eliminate three quarters of our military expenditures and probably be safer than we are now.  Americans are just patsies.  We pay way too much for defense just like we do for health care.

But the GOP Congress is chomping at the bit to spend more ... a lot more.  We have this depleted military, you know.  Rolleyes
