What did the decrepit Alzheimer infested Biden have to say about it?

Did he care about Europe spending more on defense?

Yes, President Joe Biden has addressed NATO burden-sharing during his presidency. In June 2024, ahead of the NATO summit, it was reported that a record 23 out of 32 NATO member states were meeting their defense spending target of 2% of their GDP. Defense spending for European member states and Canada increased by 18%. This indicates progress toward more balanced contributions within the alliance.

Additionally, during the 2024 Washington NATO Summit, President Biden emphasized the importance of equitable burden-sharing among NATO allies. He highlighted that European allies had increased their defense spending, reflecting a commitment to shared security responsibilities.

These developments underscore the ongoing efforts to ensure that all NATO members contribute fairly to the alliance's collective defense.

In 2024, the United States allocated approximately $916 billion to defense, constituting about 3.4% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This percentage aligns with the historical trend of U.S. defense spending relative to GDP. For comparison, NATO members in Europe and Canada spent an average of 2% of their GDP on defense during the same period.

Looking ahead, projections indicate that U.S. defense outlays could reach approximately $1.1 trillion by 2033, which would represent about 2.8% of the nation's GDP.

We've been begging the lazy Europeans for 29 years to spend at least 2% of GDP on defense but instead they just lay around and drink wine and let us defend them while they get free healthcare

I don't like Trump

But finally he just said f*** it Russia can't even invade a banana Republic with one tenth of the GDP of Russia

I think the Europeans can handle it

Adios NATO. Lots of luck

The EU has 10 times the GDP of Russia which has 10 times the GDP of the Ukraine

Russia is clearly militarily incompetent and I think Trump is right and the EU can handle it

Nothing pains me more than agreeing with Donald Trump
