Sweden and Finland set to join NATO in May

[Pericles]

Every single party and every single lawmaker in any NATO country that votes against admission of Sweden and Finland needs to be called out in the starkest terms. They're either Putin's arm or just useful idiots to the Kremlin.

The United States pays way more into NATO than it gets out of it. A vast majority of countries in NATO are refusing to raise the defense budgets up to 2% of GDP, despite pledging to do so earlier. Some people feel like NATO is a scam to the United States, and they just may be right.

NATO isn't a trade agreement lol, it's a mechanism to keep Europe peaceful and prosperous, which is a huge benefit to the US.

Is it worth dumping in billions upon billions of dollars into, when other countries have made it clear that they aren’t going to hold up their end of the bargain since they’re expecting the USA to foot the bill?

I’m not against NATO or Finland and Sweden joining it, but they’re legitimate concerns with the way NATO currently operates.

The US does have a lot of waste in its defence budget but overall it's a great trade for the US, investments do need to be made to get great results.

Orban isn't going to get any goodwill for this childish ego trip he pulled, hope it was worth it for him.
