The United States does not spend money on defense as a charity for Germany or any other country.  We spend that money because we want the benefits of being the world's main military super power.

Yes Fred. I was the one that explained to you that we spend 22% of the direct funding of NATO. That does not count for the indirect spending such as funding our bases in Germany. 

But I take it you don't think we should suggest Germany should take money away from Russia and give it to NATO sources.
