Ever think about that? So what if he says it, as long as he doesn't do it.

Nobody is going to call his bluff on that one.

But someone may blink and cave into whatever his demands are, such as abandoning the 2014 2% or 3% or whatever number it is, for a higher percentage...precisely because of his rhetoric.
Then why take the approach?

It netted him nothing other than base pandering.

A Danish diplomat made the comment over the NATO week that they've basically begun to just stop listening to him because they can't tell if he's speaking as a policy maker or a candidate at a rally in Montana...
