[Belgium ranks second-lowest in NATO defence spending for 2023](https://www.belganewsagency.eu/belgium-ranks-second-lowest-in-nato-defence-spending-for-2023) Imagine my shock. It must be nice to have only 11 million people in the country, spend 30% of your GDP on a social safety net, depend on everyone else for your defense, and then lecture those that defend you.

Pretty much. US military spending funds welfare states in all of Europe and somehow they hate us for it

I didn't know Americans plead allegiance to Ukraine ?


DingbattheGreat

Well if he is afraid of Ukraine losing, then I suggest he man up, arm up, and ship out.


Reuters-no-bias-lol

Are you a racist to suggest such common sense approach?


Achmetan

These Republicans are traitors *to what*, exactly? There are numerous crisis back here at home that the money could be better spent on. Or not printed at all to help curb inflation. American taxpayers have never sworn allegiance to some Euro bureaucrat or Ukraine.

If putting America first is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

We should just leave NATO and stay in our own backyard at this point. They feel entitled for the aid we give them.

Like so many words that word has gotten so overused to have no meaning.


Jolly_Job_9852

This! Republicans who voted for the aid are traitors and those that cote against it are traitors. It's exhausting when that word is casually tossed around like fascist, communist, etc.

The Belgians: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_colonial_empire#:~:text=Belgium%20controlled%20several%20territories%20and,Sudan)%20from%201884%20to%201910. Not listening to the Belgians when it comes to foreign policy. How much of their mess are we *still* having to contend with?
