Amid the controversy over Donald Trump's demand that NATO nations meet their
financial obligations before they expect the United States to defend them,
NATO's top commander says he agrees it's important for alliance members to
pay their bills.
In an interview at the Aspen Security Forum, Army Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti
said it's something he regularly discusses with other countries.
"What I tell them typically is that look, we have a people and a Congress
with a tough budget as well," Scaparrotti said Thursday night. "So as a
leader of another country you have to put your share into this, you have to
do that because when I go back to testify to Congress I get asked these
questions."
Pressuring NATO members to meet their commitments is a position Trump has
not backed off of, despite criticism from Democrats and some national
security experts, who argue it sends the wrong message and could embolden
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has already seized territory in
Ukraine, which is not a NATO member.
Speaking in Miami Wednesday, Trump said, "I think NATO's great. But it's got
to be modernized, and countries that we're protecting have to pay what they
're supposed to be paying."
Scaparrotti, NATO's supreme commander, says as of now only five of the 28
NATO nations are meeting their pledge to spend at least 2 percent of their
gross domestic product on defense.
They also are supposed to spend 20 percent of that on major weapons systems
and equipment.
Only three countries have met that goal: the U.S., the United Kingdom and
Poland. Two more, Greece and Estonia, spend 2 percent on defense, but not 20
percent on major systems.
Without mentioning his name, Scaparrotti agreed with Trump's point that
without all countries in the alliance paying their fair share, it can't be
militarily effective.
"It's very important," he said of the need for members to provide adequate
funding for the alliance. "Without it we're not going to outpace Russia's
modernization. We've got to have that in order to provide a credible force."
But Scaparrotti stopped short of saying the commitment to defend any NATO
nation should be used as leverage to induce payments.
He called says the U.S. commitment to Article 5 of the NATO charter, which
specifies an attack on one member is an attack on all, must be "ironclad"
and that member countries should not be in doubt about that.
"One thing they need to know is that they can count on the United States to
do what we say we're going to do," Scaparrotti said.
川普又对了。

Nato主要保护的是欧洲伙伴,他们理应多交。
不过现在被另一个敌人从内部攻破了,只好自求多福了。
