That is an interesting chart - but as 2% of GDP, with US GDP being by far the largest, it would seem that if everyone else is at 2% of GDP, it isn't going to impact our obligation a whole hell of a lot. Again down with 1.5%, I’m down for reducing military expenditures by half.

What’s funny is even if you agree with 2% of Trumps statements the left vehemently attacks, and ignores the rest. Maybe that’s part of the problem?

Since this room is so secure, top secret, nothing can be mentioned out side of that room, who is the one that spilled the beans so to speak?? Would that not be a security breach??

I guess whoever spilled the beans did a risk assessment and decided the need to alert his fellow Americans about our ignorant and unstable president outweighed the need to keep what happens in the Tank secret.

I read the story in the NYT. Appalling and alarming. Way to treat men who are so much more educated and accomplished. And have devoted their careers to serving. A interesting question, and shows how changed the GOP has become...besides being known for against deficit spending, agains big deficits, great supporters of strong, strong defense and our Armed Forces...but after this meeting with his top military commanders and his remarks.. {Yes I believe what is reported happened no matter what he says...has he answered what was reported?} that they are staying with him in support...any Donald supporters here who want to chime in , would be appreciated.

He has no respect for anyone. And, this from the same guy who complains that he's being picked on. "Dopes and babies." Nice vocabulary.
