I would like to see some numbers. For example, what is the opportunity cost for the use of those bases. What did the peace keeping missions cost? Is it 1% of your GDP? I'm fairly certain that the opportunity cost of those basis is not anything like that. Anyway, you should have needed those bases for yourself if we didn't make use of them.
And that therefore Trump, once again, made himself a laughing stock (and showed how little he understands about international treaties) by presenting this made up bill to AngieTamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

Doesn't matter ... no matter whether I am able to prove that opportunity costs and peacekeeping costs make up the remaning percentage or not, one fact remains ... and that is, that germany doesn't owe the USA any money for not having its military spending at >= 2% of its GDP.

On a sidenote:
When was the last time, after the cold war, that the USA actually actively protected germany from anything?

As Ursula, our Defense Ministress already says ... NATO doesn't work this way ... this is not one of Trumps Country Clubs where you have to pay a yearly fee

This would mean that you will not only destroy other nations, but also will be responsible for rebuilding them.
And we know what happened last time when you were left alone with rebuilding a nation (i.e. Iraq)
Unfortunately your failure at nation building in iraq had a negative impact on europe/germany as well (due to the rise of ISIS) ... so it is in the self interest of germany, to not let you do it alone
It seems like the USA is notoriously bad at rebuilding nations when they have another culture than the western one.
May have to do with certain parts of the US population (especially the more conservative ones) having a certain superiority complex regarding their own culture and don't respect other cultures enough. And may have also something to do with conservative organizations sending christian missionaries into conquered lands in order to sell conversion to the christian faith in exchange for humanitarian aidTamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

Military spending is a touchy issue in germany, it's as if they don't like waging war, for some reason....I am not delusional! Now if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go dance with the purple wombat who's playing show-tunes in my coffee cup!
Rules are like Egg's. They're fun when thrown out the window!
Difference is irrelevant when dosage is higher than recommended!
