US significantly cuts spending on NATO funding

The United States is cutting its spending on NATO funding, while other members must compensate. It is reported by CNN.

According to CNN, received from a senior NATO representative on condition of anonymity, the US Presidential Administration Donald Trump has achieved a significant reduction in the cost of financing the alliance, agreeing with other NATO member countries a new cost formula. According to the decision, US spending on the alliance will decrease, and Canada and other countries of the alliance will compensate them with their investments.

All allies agreed on a new cost-sharing formula. In accordance with the new formula, the share of costs of most European allies and Canada will increase, while the share of the United States will decrease. This is an important demonstration of Allied commitment to the Alliance and a more equitable burden-sharing.

- said the source of the channel, adding that the formula for new costs agreed this week.

According to the data provided, the United States has achieved a reduction in NATO funding costs from 22% to about 16%, thereby almost approaching Germany, which spends 14,8% on it.

The United States intends to use the saved funds to finance other Pentagon programs in Europe, including to support Ukraine and Georgia.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that the United States is spending too much money to defend Europe and has promised to achieve a significant reduction in US financial investments in NATO.

According to CNN, received from a senior NATO official on condition of anonymity

The media have never been distinguished by a desire to present reliable information, but recently there has been too much.
And if according to the article, then NATO exists on the principle that if there are no enemies and threats, then they must be invented, otherwise there will be no money. In general, they are tired of coming up with enemies, that’s not enough money.

[Aerodrome]

Trump business muzhig, I think, to our oligarchs, if you chip in it, you can quite imagine such a Navy base - the Navy can be booked in Miami, Hawaii and Florida. so what ? question deneh! I’m not even worrying, I will unfasten a penny from my pension to the midshipman’s shield of the Russian Navy, who will represent me as a member of the community on the world stage. and our midshipmen, they will not disgrace me ... I hope!

[Spartanez300]

It would be difficult to imagine that they would use the saved money for agriculture or for peacekeeping purposes.
The goal is always one: inciting wars, conflicts and general chaos on the planet.

[Labrador]

including support for Ukraine and Georgia.

But Ukrainians and Georgians are already wet dream of a cut.

The aggressive side of NATO, under the guise of cutting costs and an imaginary threat from the East, continues to build up forces against the peace-loving policy of the CSTO. Gentlemen, we defend the gains of 1991, we will not allow Western capitalists to seize our factories, plants and latifundia.

Sucker? Something like this is happening. America always twists its interests at someone else's expense. They even need toilets on the ISS for free and at someone else’s expense. If anything is even ready to drill.

According to the NATO charter, each member country of the alliance must spend on defense from 2% of GDP. Europeans saved at the expense of the United States. The freebie is over.

It is time for Germany to seize power in NATO ...

[LiSiCyn]

Victor
I'm afraid Germany doesn't need it. France moguet. But Macron dreams of a "European army". In addition, a split between the "old" and "young Europeans" is outlined. I will not be surprised if in the near future a new bloc will be formed with the "overseer" in the form of Poland.

[cniza]

But Germany has no choice, otherwise complete oblivion ...

[LiSiCyn]

Germany can position itself as an economic leader. As soon as it tries to enter the military-political it can be perceived as revenge.

[cniza]

There is such a problem, for which the Germans are spread rot.

[pru-pavel]

Will not work. You can take half of NATO funding. But Germany’s military spending is in principle 13 times less than the US. The USA is their main military force. Military power is not with those who finance organizations, but those who finance and have a powerful army. And here the USA is beyond competition.

[cniza]

I spoke about NATO, I have the impression that if Trump wins for the second time, the United States will be the first to leave NATO.

[pru-pavel]

In a military bloc, the country with the strongest army always plays the first fiddle. It doesn’t happen that Czechoslovakia would steer the ATS unit, only on the basis that if it would give more money to felt-tip pens on the chairs of the notebook and pay for the light in the ATS building

[cniza]

I do not dispute this, I mean that NATO has staggered ... although for the USA it is a very convenient tool.

[pru-pavel]

Yes, about the staggering NATO, the dollar, the EU, the USA, the public debt (the list can be continued for a long time), they probably have been talking like half a century ago. There is simply a system such that any fool is given the opportunity to speak out as he wants. People living in authoritarian countries always get an impression because of this, but right now everything will fall apart. Normal phenomenon. All according to the rules of social psychology.

Trump is stubborn and consistent ... He fulfills everything he has promised ... But the establishment is still trying to "push him out". Even the "young" Bloomberg was mobilized ... it remains to be seen how the NATO members will disciplinedly invest in ... Amer’s military-industrial complex?

Quote: professor

According to the NATO charter ...

It's not about defense budgets, but the content of NATO itself -

This is largely a symbolic step.since the direct budget of NATO is relatively small - about 2,5 billion. Dollars. USA, and it is separated from national defense budgets, which, as NATO recommends, should be 2% of GDP.

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/27/politics/trump-nato-contribution-nato/index.html

In a declaration adopted by NATO in 2014, member countries of the bloc recorded a desire to achieve defense budgets at 2% of GDP. But this is only a desire: NATO members have no legal obligations on this issue. The same is the case with the budget of the organization itself - NATO emphasizes that the allocation of funds for the activities of the bloc is not the direct responsibility of "any" member country.

The United States is cutting its spending on NATO funding, while other members must compensate. It is reported by CNN.

"Agent Trump ACTIONS !!!

[askort154]

Old Europeans are realists. They are well aware that Russia is not an "aggressor" for them and that the "roof of NATO" is losing its relevance. Seeing this, the Americans are shifting their bets on the young Europeans, former members of the Warsaw Pact, who easily fall for the new owner, for "cookies" from the true "democrats."
These "former USSR", convenient for the United States, encircle the entire western and southwestern part of Russia. At the same time, the role of "center" is assigned to Poland, which they dream of from the cradle. And this will lead to an even greater split in the EU. Old Europeans dislike "recruits". Even West Germany, openly
does not accept Eastern Germans. As a result, after "twelve" years, NATO will either collapse or transform into a new entity, less cumbersome,
but more aggressive towards Russia.
