BS, GB get no subsidies for medicine, we pay our Military spending GDP percent for NATO and I'll think you'll find Americas reaches into every other nations taxation territory to take tax for 'American companies' operating in our lands.

Guy can't even visit Vegas and win at the WPO without your taxman trying to take our earnings.

GB?

Edit: I just realized you meant Great Britain. Ha.

I said a few of these nations weren't relevant, but EU and canada do get medical subsidies from us.

take tax for 'American companies' operating in our lands.

Can you site that? From what I understand, corporations move out of our country to avoid taxation. If they're taxing you directly, then they are screwing you.

I agree, plenty of nations put in higher GDP to nato, plenty dont. And we still put in the bulk of the money, while we get shit on in return.

All other nations benifit from NATO.

I cannot site that, I did a quick check and couldn't find anything substantial to reference. The main jist is digital companies like Google, Facebook and Apple were being chased by the EU courts for tax.

The US government intervened saying they were not based in the EU nations when digital sales were made and therefore no tax was due.

It pissed me off because Trump has sited it a few times as a good thing, even tho they are all enemies of the American people.

My OP was reactionary because my country was under attack, I'm over it now. Must be A-D-D or something.

As for NATO, I believe only GB and one Eastern block nation (Poland?) pay their dues. But I think countries that don't are arseholes.

Understandable. I do the same over America lol.

I like GB, just think yall are headed down the same path we are, and you guys have a head start. Wich sucks.

That is pretty shitty for Trump to say. Guess hes tired of bad trade deals. Idk. Id screw big tech over any way I could myself.

I still think NATO and UN are unnecessary. Russia has the economy of a flea and it doesnt help that green nations like Germany and soon to be, US, buy oil from Russia.

However, im not in Europe so its just an outside opinion. Yall do what yall want.

Your right about China. However they have the numbers and what scares me is it would seem UN/ NATO likes China a bit too much.

Add the fact that our politicians (yours, mine, and EUs) are all coming out as Chinese loyalists and increasingly willing to be authoritarian.

I am worried.
