NATO nations are already doing that actually.

Could you elaborate how the US would coerce their allies? Sue them? Their is no legal basis for that whatsoever. Economically strongarm us? Please try, then we could finally bury TTIP. Bully us with the remaining diplomatic credentials? Would probably work, wouldn't be much of an alliance afterwards.

Pence lying out of his ass repeatedly to cover up Kaine's attacks.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

Do less to defend them. But that would be stupid.

^ She has done it several times to both of them. They rarely listen though.


Also how can Pence talk about how much stronger the US is than Russia but somehow so weak and vulnerable.

Kaine going off topic and attacking taxes at every opportunity even when it doesn't make sense.

I agree. I'm voting for Hillary but I'm not much of a fan of Kaine.

Kaine just spamming out more than can be covered in the time they have, and with the back and forth he can always change the subject and spam a different attack.

Republicans actually are a fan of "strong leader" Putin and wish they had a strong leader like that.

The NATO 2% thing isn't some pot everybody throws money in, it's a guideline on how much every nation is supposed to spend relative to their economic size. If we spend to start more, how does that help the US? The US isn't going to scale back military spending anyway.
