Still ignorant on nato contributions, even though swimfeeders explained it to you in the past. Clearly learning disabled, are you?

The USA is the biggest contributor to NATO.

Even Greece manages to pay their share.

NATO .. the EU army ???? That's really funny

Oh look below.... it's not happening in Brussels ... fancy that ...

You seem to know nato headquarters is in brussels and not in either new york or london. Before that it was in paris, till france pulled out of nato in 1966.

Brussels is where the EU Parliament is.

My point is that any pre-Nato discussions are being made between the UK and the USA here in London before the meeting with everyone else.

How can you claim that NATO is the EU Army when we aren't talking to the EU in our meeting ? I mean it was only the other day Macron was saying NATO was "brain dead" ...

Brussels is where nato headquarters are. Coincidence?

Your point is wrong. Your own cited article states that trump is (only) one of the nato leaders attending the queen's banquet. So only table-talk.

In that meeting you are only one of several EU countries that are also in nato. EU doubles with nato, only usa is non-EU. And since trump want to withdraw from nato....

France has only been in nato for 10 years, so have a different take on nato actions.

Hi

NATO HQ is in Brussels, but that is just the political and admin bit.

SHAPE, the NATO Military HQ is just outside Mons.

The USA is not the only Non EU NATO Member.

Hi

Mons in Belgium.

Canada is not the only Non EU Country in NATO which is not trying to join.

One Country is actually trying to Leave.

It appears not given this thread. Talk about mixed up and confused. European unity was driven by a desire for long lasting peace. Those who want to destroy it are our enemies. Divide and rule is a good thing for them. Like a piecemeal acquisition.
