"Understanding Trump’s Jeremiad Against NATO Freeloaders"
It's a lot to consider. My opinion is if a country isn't paying their share, They don't deserve the protection, but as explained in the article, that's easy to say but a lot harder to put into practice.

1. NATO countries do not pay a bill. It is about percentage of GDP towards defense budget.
2. Trump encouraged Russia to attack European countries. It is equivalent to him encouraging China to attack South Korea or Taiwan.

Trump says he would 'encourage' Russia to attack Nato allies who do not pay their bills
The US presidential hopeful says he would not protect any country failing to pay its bills.

I'm of the same mind, but there's those pesky little things called treaties.

Does anyone here actually believe we could stand up to Russia alone? We need out NATO allies just as they need us.
This fuss about paying is just a subterfuge in an attempt to break up NATO.
