No, it only has an impact on elections going forward.

That's a very fair summary. And I think completely confirms my original post, your summary above and op's original description of the deal are worlds apart.

Call me whatever you like, but go read the 14 point MOU and tell me where I'm wrong. I find it funny that on a board where people profess to do their own research the first instinct is to name call rather than actually reading the document and have a genuine discussion.

You and I must be reading different deals. Nothing in that MOU even remotely resembles what you wrote. Plus, this isn't really a deal, it's just a plan to reach a deal at some point in the future. Before we heap praise or make any judgments maybe we should wait for an actual binding deal to be signed.

The disconnect on this board is amazing. Everyone gets up in arms about how much more we spend on defense than other NATO members. Then a handful of posts later people cheer when we propose to increase our defense spending by an additional 50%. Make that make sense.
