I didn't state otherwise. In fact,the US has spent over 3% of its GDP on defense for over 15 years. However, only a portion of that is spent in Europe. And a tiny fraction of that is spent on NATO. Let's not conflate national defense budgets with the NATO budget with the overall cost of the defense of Europe. They're all totally different things.

- Fjolsvith 7y agoThe article I submitted states that the 3.36% of GDP spending is spent by the US on NATO. If you a source that states otherwise, please provide a citation.
