This is trivial logic-chopping and thus deeply misleading. NATO allies owe each other the duty of meeting their agreed obligations. A handful do so; most don't. That undermines their promises of mutual defense and means the US bears undue responsibility for it.

More than a year in office, Trump still doesn’t understand how NATO works. NATO allies don’t “owe” the US anything and no one is “delinquent.” The NATO goal is for each country to spend 2% on its own military, which most have not met. But the money doesn’t go to the US or NATO.

The Economist “Intelligence Unit” admits it was too pessimistic about the prospects for the UK after the Brexit referendum. But blames business/consumers for failing to understand the full implications of leaving the EU. So companies kept on investing, people spending.

Johnson's Brexit policy has 3 mandates: the 2016 referendum mandate; the 2017 electoral mandate when Tories won on No deal is better than a bad deal; and a legislative mandate, backed by almost 500 MPs, that if a deal didn't happen, Brexit would happen automatically. Happier now?
