The baltic countries is a good example.

It is not out of kindness that the US has part funded the Norwegian Military Intelligence service since the early 50s either......I donīt know, but I suspect the US might have those kind of interests in the baltic countries as well.
What you say may have been true when the US cared about the expansion of communism across Europe.

Since Trump doesn't give a cr@p about anything outside the borders of the US, that hardly holds true if he were to come into power.


I do agree with him about freeloading though.
