Hmmm? Are you referring to NATO or something else?

@ianR0ckwell That concerns each NATO member country's level of defense spending. NATO countries are supposed to spend 2% of their GDP on defense, but most of them don't. We spend a lot of money on defense, and a portion of it goes to aiding our allies in NATO. I think it would be good if they each hit the 2% target like they're supposed to, but that wouldn't save us any money. At best, it would free up some of the money we currently spend on NATO to go to other defense-related purposes.
