“NATO countries are freeloading on America!”
What You Say
NATO's 2% GDP target is a guideline, not rent. European allies spent billions supporting Ukraine while the U.S. benefits from alliance infrastructure worldwide. Article 5 was invoked once - for America after 9/11. Alliances aren't Uber rides; they're deterrence that prevents wars costing far more than dues.
The Stab
The freeloader is the dictator who thought NATO was weak - until it wasn't.
