The hypocrisy of the ________

Our most dear ally Germany is committed to NATO's spending agreements, someday.

Chancellor Angela Merkel says Germany is committed to the NATO target of spending 2 percent of a country’s gross domestic product on defense, but is realistic about reaching it.

Merkel on Friday underlined Germany’s plan to reach 1.5 percent by 2024.

emphasis mine - in today's dollars, a 1/2 percent of Germany's GDP (2017 - $3.686trillion) is about $18 Billion dollars, over the next 6 years that about $104B shortfall at a minimum, and it's a lot more than that, since she is "hoping" to make it to 1.5 by 2024

And some wonder why I'm not upset at Trump calling out our allies. Asking them to treat us as a fair partner shouldn't be seen as being the culprit.

Just because we are allies, doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't call them out when they are practicing uneven policies, or not living up to their stated agreements.
