They should absolutely be spending money to fill the void the US is leaving on defense, and it is leaving a void.
Y'all can't trust the US anymore. That vaccum needs filling.
No we shouldn't. Nato is America, whetehr one likes it or not, without their active participation (equal), there is no need to funnel the money into it. Invest it in to EU army, not American.
NATO isn't likely to keep the US very long, or otherwise Trump is likely to kick the US out.
There's no reason to abandon Canada, now. Don't do that.
NATO was America. Trump has changed that. Especially when he threatened to start a war against NATO, he ended up inadvertedly restructuring the whole philosophy behind what NATO is.
The EU army is, among other countries, Czechia. Nobody is sending money in a big envelope stamped: "To: NATO". The spending is all on their national military.
There is no EU army, Czech Army is their own, Nato is an "defense" organisation where parts of other countries armies participate in
oh ok, I was thinking that Mark Rutte himself was flying from country to country to pick it up personally.
I mean... He might be doing that anyway, and getting away with it as usual
