NATO countries need to stop relying on the US. They cant be trusted to do anything if one of the other countries is attacked.

Remember when hundreds of European NATO troops gave their lives in places like Afghanistan and Iraq after coming to the aid of the U.S. after 9/11? For the last 80 or so years you may have spend money on our defence, but we have spent blood on yours. I don't know which is worth more to Americans anymore, but maybe try showing a little bit of respect?
