GOP lawmaker demands $300B in defense dues from Canada
HALIFAX — Republican lawmaker Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina says it’s all good and well that Canada is finally meeting its NATO defense spending commitments, but Canada should make up for two decades of back dues — to the tune of $300 billion.
“Can we do a makeup payment for the 20 years of shortfalls as well?” Tillis told a Saturday panel at the Halifax International Security Forum, a international gathering of defense officials and security professionals.
“It’s fine to say you’re about to catch up, but it’s not fun to look past a $300 billion shortfall,” he said.

This is what happens when you dignify a ridiculous demand with any sort of serious response. You get more ridiculous demands.
And honestly, if we're talking about the last 20 years, maybe the US should be paying us for all the times we got dragged into one of their idiotic wars.
Why don't you take a step back and literally fuck your own face.
Got your reply as a notification without any context and was wondering wtf I said lol, but seriously, agreed
Haha. Yes, not you. You're good.
300 billion to who Thom
To our own military, spent on local and European contractors.
