I’d like to see that chart translated into actual dollars.

@jackjjackson
In 2017 the report says the U.K. spent some $55.2 billion on defense, Germany $45.4 billion and France $45.9 billion. But this still pales when compared with the United States’ $685.9 billion in spending.

@jackjjackson compare that to our nearly $400 billion Chinese trade deficit and we are hemorrhaging money in the TRILLIONS!!!!!

Who contributed what dollars to NATO? Looks like Germany is SHORT? @GardenSage
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
The reason I ask about dollars and mention Germany is that it has a large economy and is short on contributing its GDP percentage. These foreigners are taking advantage of us. Your chart shows it clearly. Most people would be stunned I’d they saw the actual dollars really contributed by the respective members. . @GardenSage

They find the factual information you provided INCONVENIENTLY IRREFUTABLE so they’re attacking you personally. Page 3 of the leftist playbook. @GardenSage
