    Re: NATO question.

    I almost choked on my lunch when I read that NATO was calling out one of the free loading countries - Canada.


    Read:


    NATO is getting ready to twist Canada's arm on defence spending


    The two per cent target is the bare minimum, says Sec. Gen. Jens Stoltenberg



    As the old saying goes, there are some things one must never discuss in polite company. Politics and money usually top the list.


    If you've ever been to a NATO leaders' summit, you know these gatherings are the epitome of polite company (with the exception of Donald Trump).


    NATO leaders โ€” at least in public โ€” sometimes go far, far out of their way to avoid criticizing other leaders and nations, especially those who are perceived as not pulling their weight.


    A military alliance looking to present a solid front to an uncertain outside world hates any real or perceived signs of division.
