Lately Iraq and Afghanistan. But it all
started in Vietnam. They never won a war and rebuilt a country anymore

OK fine.  Get all your EU pals to fund NATO at least 2% and you take care of it from here.  From now on, if we get attacked in any way, I think you can expect to see total destruction of that enemy.  And we ain't rebuilding shit.

The 2% you're referring to is a commitment for each member to spend 2% of their GDP on defence.

Do you know what the actual figures are?
