--- Quote from: Planr on February 28, 2017, 06:53:32 PM ---no one ever said the US controlled them. he said the US defends them. --- End quote --- This is like saying 'McZealot pays for the US military' because the 30 cent sales tax on a cheeseburger I purchased went to drone-striking some Syrian elementary school. --- Quote from: Red Spy on February 28, 2017, 06:45:43 PM ---We'd go to war if they were invaded --- End quote --- I thought the Republican argument was that the US was doing too much for these countries and needed to stop? Now Republicans want us to protect more countries? Get a backbone, Annoying Orange fanboys. You can't invade NATO but I'll assume you mean invade a country in NATO. But yea, we would go to war alongside Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, and The United Kingdom which consists of several countries. To say 'the US defends these countries' is laughable and stupid--like you. Jesus, you must be awful during group projects. |

If the government decides to use the money it acquires from taxing you to do something, you weren't the one who made that decision, the government did. It's responsible for its own actions. |
| SteveJenkins:
his point is that its a small contribution to a larger part, America doesn't defend the entirety of NATO's allied countries. even though they may be capable of doing so its not the countries sole responsibility of defending NATO allies, there are other countries that would help should the situation arise. |

--- Quote from: Ipquarx on February 28, 2017, 06:49:22 PM ---again, considering Donald has been big on the whole "No wars" thing, and being against defending NATO allies from aggression, why do we need an increase in spending when we're already spending too much --- End quote --- hurr durr patriotism means big military |

How about we make the government smaller and stop saying it should do everything |
