I wonder how and why the 2% goal was set, and why the US pays so much more than that… Makes me think we were already paying way more than the other guys and lobbied to get them to a 2% commitment… It’s almost like we could lower it to 1.5% if it meant everyone paid up (that’s fake math btw). EDIT: of course, it would be interesting to see the real numbers rather than percentages… What’s Greece’s GDP? 2% of that must be so much less than what Germany pays at 1.2%…

Well, most European countries have no interest in promoting freedom and democracy by force. They are in for defence.

Greece has a GPD of about 200 billion. Germany 3,400, if Google is to be believed.
