Completely radical, and goes against my grain, but when the US President is talking about how Americans are tired of paying more than they should for THEIR defense and they visibly laugh at him and us and this nation? I dunno, maybe let Russia have the Baltics back and then watch the French and Germans get some serious butt pucker while we bring our men and women back home to their families.

Also reports today from a former senior British official that Obama was likewise very upset about how other nations didn't meet their goals, he just wasn't public about it.

Germany has the largest Euro economy and only spends about half the NATO minimum of GDP. A lot easier to provide health care when you have someone else protecting you from your enemies.

I'm not an isolationist, but when people laugh in my country's damned face I could be talked into it. WE have plenty of other places to spend all that money we spend in europe. Let the French and Germans subsidize the former Bloc nations so they don't get re-invaded and have Russia right back at their border again.
