Gates had a dire warning for NATO allies - that the time for America covering more than 75% of the coalition's defense spending is over. “The blunt reality is that there will be dwindling appetite and patience in the United States' Congress - and in the American body politic writ large - to expend increasingly precious funds on behalf of nations that are apparently unwilling to devote the necessary resources or make the necessary changes to be serious and capable partners in their own defense,” he said.


Now that`s leadership for ya.

NATO was a charade from the start. This is Obama's illegal war.

Now if we actually do something about it, I will be happy. I would like to see a plan to reduce our defense spending, and size of military over a period of time, and then see it happen.

Those other countries are probably at a loss as to why they must pay for our empire building exercises.
