The nerve of this woman, how dare she?

Britain has given more than it's fair share to NATO, as she does with most things.

I suggest Mrs Clinton and Co should get on to the other members of NATO, to dig deep into their finances, or pay us to retain our proposed cuts.

I think the US needs more than our money which is miniscule compared with their contribution. They also need our support, whether at the top table of the UN or worldwide acceptance. The fact that the US has got it wrong in both Iraq and Afghanistan we are also labelled as war-mongers.

Meant for the home market, no doubt. There's an election coming up in November, remember.That the US pays for everything is a common theme in American politics and it is politic to make a stand against this .

Judging by the 'U' turn on the severity of the Defence budget, it would seem that she has got her way.
