    Works for me.

    What level of taxation did you have in mind for the multi-trillion dollar military budget that the Dog of War would request ? Or is it to be covered by increasing national debt again ?

    The plan is to make NATO pay for it. No more free protection for you!

    According to this page :

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.aeb9364b53d1

    The US share in the direct costs isn't that high. If you want to spend an enormous amount of money on warfare that could be argued to benefit the alliance then that is basically your business. Iraq, Iran etc.

    Since I find this dreadfully boring, this discussion ends here.

    Norway will have to start paying up..

    Norway contribution.. 1.5 % of GDP (1,328.00 per capita)
    US contribution ..3.3% of GDP ($1,891.00 per capita)

    so, we have to raise your taxes $563.00 a year - US dollars.

    Canada is a real slacker at only 1% of GDP or $492.00 per capita

    we have to collect an additional $1,399.99 per capita from them or they can plan to fend for themselves.

    Most NATO members are "tax cheats", they aren't paying their share of defense costs. Trump is going to fix that.

    Oh, I'm just going with the flow. I don't have a clue how serious anything about this thread is anyway. But John has found a non-American he can attempt to pick a fight with at least.
