Aren't Payment Obligations?

A good number of native countries are not meeting those obligations. This was long agreed to terms for continued nato membership. And their failing to meet those, i think it's entirely appropriate for the united states to press them on that. In terms of what the united states role would be in the event of a conflict, the united states is the leading country. We drive the agenda. We make most of the payments. If there were some need for a actual armed conflict, we would lead it.
