My understanding is that it is 2% of the GDP not the Military Spending for the ENTIRE WORLD.
I am saying that counting the entire US military budget ($600 million) to NATO spending is incorrect. That money is spread out all across the world.
I suppose all NATO countries should spend 2%, but we are not paying as big of a share on NATO as some people claim. And even if the other NATO countries all spent 2% we would not get anything back. We would still spend just as much worldwide as we do right now.
