The Europeans had already been told to do so, Japan had already been coerced to do so, even to spearhead the formation of Asia NATO. In the meantime, the USA keeps fabricating threats against each and every ally by Russia and China. Russia is said to be expanding its territory, and the Europeans must be ready to spend more on defense. China is a threat to every country around the South China Sea, and the Japanese, Taiwanese, South Koreans and Filipinos must be ready. Ready to spend more for the USA to call up their logistics when war breaks out between Russia and NATO Europe and another war between USA and China. Trump wants allies to be its weapon storage facilities, but without having to take the risk of being targeted. Russia and China would be targeting those weapons base belonging to allies instead.
I understand that the USA ambassador to Singapore has told Singapore that this is a time to payback the USA for its success, whose prosperity is all because of the USA. Singapore should know what that means - buy more weapons from the USA to fulfil Trump's ambition just in case they are needed. I know that Singapore is a close friend of the USA, so it is in the fatal group not the endangered group. By spending more on its military, does that make Singapore safer? I do not know. What do you think?
Oh, by the way, FIFA has awarded Trump with a peace prize for his attendance at the FIFA draw. Did he win the draw, I just wonder. What is FIFA doing, awarding peace prize to compete with the Nobel prize. Soon everyone will be doing the same business, the UN, IMF, WTO, WHO, Olympics, G7, G20, and so on to award Trump. I just wonder what that FIFA award means, but for Trump, I think no fish prawn also good. It may just be a steppingstone for his Noble Peace Prize. I only pity Alfred Nobel, now wriggling in his grave, that his Peace Prize has been devalued to junk status and being commercialized, LOL.

The irony and ridiculousness of it all is that the USA wants allies to spend more on weapons to protect the USA's interest, not to protect themselves.
However, in order to convince allies to do that, the USA has to hype up imaginary threats to con its doggies to go along. In the past, the hype was all about the threat of communism. Then it was all about the Soviet Union eyeing Europe and needed NATO to counter.
China was then extremely poor and a pushover, nothing of concern for the USA. The Chinese can do nothing much, just aiming to become cooks and laundrymen and can just be ignored. Now, China's rise is a concern, so it becomes a threat to countries around the South China Sea.
The USA is worried about Chinese peasants able to lend them money.
