As usual, you write 3 whole sentences to try and make a very complicated
argument. NATO is not simply a numbers game. i agree that the US puts in more than its fair share and many many countries should be doing more. i don't think liberals would completely disagree either. but there is more to it than money and there is this small point of size. we have states that have bigger GDPs than lots of countries in this world. add up 50 of those and our economy is the largest in the world. a much better argument to make is that we should scale back to the 2% requested by NATO and we will still be giving more money than anyone. thats simple math. if you are hoping that other countries can match us dollar for dollar; just get that thought out of your mind now.
remember this as well, its not just money. its troops, vehicles, computers, etc....
