Some of the worst offenders in NATO funding arrears might surprise you. The same is true with the highest contributors. FYI, the agreed upon contribution is 2% of GPD. Guess who worst offenders are based on 2021 figures (before Ukraine War). Choose the worst slackers from the list.

After 20 poll submissions, I'll post the actual list for 2021 and 2024 of offenders and champions.

America used to pay the lions share in exchange for influence over the org..

There’s a new sheriff in town.

Just by talking smack this past week alone.

Trump has gotten rich Arab nations to rebuild gaza and police it at their own cost.

Now he’s gotten europe to find 800B for their own defence..

The art of the deal.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Trump shook them up with his Gaza concept. They did NOT want to allow Palestinians into their countries. It was fun to watch it develop. Also fun to watch the left melt down over it.

Always entertaining

I think Denmark is the best (as a percentage of GDP) on your list, and France is ok, but Canada is a huge slacker.

@MarmeeMarch

The NATO guideline for defense spending by member nations is 2% of GDP.

Canada spends 1.37% of its GDP on defense, putting it 27th out of 31 members. 🙄

@BizSuitStacy interesting pie chart

France & Germany are 4-5 times the size of the UK - land mass AND population - yet the UK pays in $65B ... whilst Germany ONLY pays in $3B more and France pays in $9B LESS

🤔 ... why is it that it's ALWAYS the Anglo-Saxons that are the Worlds Police Force
