Why would NATO members not spend enough on defence? NATO members would never spend less on defence than they should, that is clearly an insane and slanderous lie that only a pro-Putin idiot liar would ever make. Trump is probably trying to goad them into tanking their economies by redirecting too much spending to defence so that Russia can be victorious over them in the global economy. Thanks for explaining. It's not quite what I would describe as openly pro putin but I understand the need for some level of dishonesty when faced with some so blatantly openly pro putin.
