Have you ever spent one day of your life thinking about NATO?

NATO is located in Brussels Belgium

...After WWII Europe was ascared! Most of their countries had their ass kicked by Germany. The USA & Russia helped Europe & beat the Germans.

It took until 1948 for the European countries to convince the USA that they were still

ascared. They were fearful that Russia was gonna take up where Germany left off.

So they asked the USA for protection.

A side note...none of these European countries lended a hand while the USA was also fighting Japan.

They did have their hands full with the Germans.

Anyway, Europe asked the USA if we would help them out cause they were rebuilding after WWII.

So, we instituted The Marshall Plan & we agreed to join NATO.

The countries of NATO

NATO Headquarters in Brussels

 Meetings of Members of NATO

can you even imagine the Bullshit that goes on in one of these Conferences?

I mean NATO has been called to respond about 6 times since 1949!

Anyway, NATO was established in 1949. The NATO motto was & is

"if one NATO country is attacked you have attacked all NATO countries"

So, the 1st time the motto had to be defended was 43 years after it was established, 1992. Bosnia. From 1992/1995.

The 2nd time was Yugoslavia in 1999...

So that brings me to the gist of my Post.

President Trump & SOS Tillerson are now telling these NATO countries that they have to pay

for what they signed up for in 1949.

The USA pays 70% of NATO's costs. NATO countries, and there are 28 members & more than 20 

'associated members' that should be paying dues which amounts to 2% of their GDP.

There are just 5 countries that are current on their Dues:

1) USA

2) Greece

3) Estonia (can you find them on a Map?)

4) United Kingdom

5) Poland...Polish people pay cash for everything...

So this may be a small thing to you but I think it is a Big Deal
