Your remark about germany owing money to NATO shows you have a lot of studying to do before you can contribute to a discussion. Take all the time you need.
I brought up about empires - true but your the one posting about how awful the UK Empire is, over and over again. You hate the UK because of its empirical history but you can't bear the EU becoming an empire when it gets its army so your in denial and making up stupid posts about other UK territories and how the UN has the list of those that the UK must hand back.
It's utter nonsense - your posts are pointless and hypocritical.
As far as NATO is concerned, the members are treaty bound to pay their contributions of 2% off GDP, even Greece manages it - you don't and neither do your colonial masters in Germany.

I see your knowledge of NATO is at the level of president trump. Sorry if that is too much of an insult.
There is a difference between the contribution and the 2% bnp spent on defence. Come back when you have fathomed that out.

Its 2% of GDP.
Netherlands don't manage it either

Read the treaty and what has been agreed by the countries of NATO.
Your reinventing NATO and history and blaming everyone else for your failure to keep your promises

I love how Europeans try to disparage he UK for its former Empire on which the sun never set.
Is it because during that global age of Empire building Britain was the best at it ??
I mean, Holland , Germany, Begium , Portugal , Italy and others all tried but were pretty lame at it.
France and Spain were slightly better, but Britain was Best!
Post Empire, GB has been best at maintaining good relations with former colonies as represented by the Commonwealth etc.
