It’s one of Trump’s most unpopular talking points on Reddit, but I honestly think it’s pretty accurate.

NATO, the EU. We even pay 22% of the UN’s budget, and that’s down from the 31% we paid before Trump.

No. All of that money goes straight back (and more) in the form of super profits. US has no interest in a bigger, more powerful EU.

The US isn’t doing this out of charity, NATO is an instrument of US power projection and has benefited US hegemony. I hope they do pull out of it, but probably for very different reasons than this admin does.
