    This has long been the problem with NATO requirements - the US has expected the money to funnel to them. If anything, Canada’s NATO money should be spent in Canada. Isn’t the US way behind in their contributions to the UN?
    Plus NATO wouldn’t need as much spending if the US wasn’t continually instigating wars around the world to appease their oligarchs. Has there been a war anywhere in the world in the last 80 years that didn’t have CIA fingerprints all over it?

      Not that sad. The poor were already fucked before, now we’re going to see the middle and rich self-immolate on purpose.

      Grab a beer and some popcorn and watch the show. It’s going to be spectacular.

    A US senator should know better that it’s not a binary choice between health and military that got them in their mess.

    Maybe USA should consider not instigating stuff for oil and regime change everywhere.

    Who exactly are we paying this money too, Thom? Are we just writing a 300b cheque to the Canadian military?

        I’m sure that’s what he thinks. But considering the supposed budget shortfall is money we didn’t spend on our own military, I’d say Tillis either doesn’t understand what NATO is supposed to be, or he understands very clearly but can’t be bothered to keep the fact that it’s a protection racket on the down low.
