A lot is made of the US paying other countries - but are people aware of the amount that other countries pay to fund the US military? - of the ones I know about Japan pays $2bn/year (a deal which Hillary Clinton brokered), South Korean pays $800m/year and on top of this most countries with bases help fund their construction and such which is not inconsiderable (and often uses US companies for the construction).

How much do allies pay for U.S. troops? A lot more than Donald Trump says - LA Times
