tzijlstra   11 #5 Posted November 13, 2016 The EU needs to leave NATO and set up its own defence capability. The vast majority of expenditure is going straight to the UK and US at the moment (the biggest arms producers by far in the NATO). By investing in its own capability it can create a far more efficient response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The vast majority of expenditure is going straight to the UK and US at the moment (the biggest arms producers by far in the NATO). By investing in its own capability it can create a far more efficient response.  Why arent the other Nato members meeting their spending commitments? Should the EU pay its way? Why should they be allowed to enjoy the protection of those who are honouring their obligations.  If the EU sets up its own defence capability, then you think it wuld be better off outside Nato? Would it be a good idea for the US to stop selling them equipment and force them to make their own or buy from other markets?

Guest   #11 Posted November 13, 2016 It is mainly because of American foreign policy, ie its sabre rattling at Russia, that there is a necessity for a continued NATO military presence in Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
