Recently, Donald Trump invited Russia to invade any NATO country that did not spend at least 2% of its Gross Domestic Product on National Defense. In doing so, it appears to me he is inviting Russia to invade Canada! Canada is a member of NATO. Its gross domestic product is $2.221 trillion. Its national defense budget is $26.5 billion. Thus, it is spending about 1.2% of its GDP on national defense. I hope that some Trump supporter can explain to me where I am wrong. Otherwise, it appears to me that he is encouraging Russia to invade Canada and if he was president he would do nothing to stop that. What a border crisis that would be! Or would he build a wall across our northern border to stop the Russians?
