If someone can't make a payment one year - not a big deal.I haven't ignored the context, the context does not make it ok to encourage dictators to go on murderous rampages.
If you ever struggle to make a payment one day I sure hope for your sake there is no one cheering on killers to murder you in cold blood.
Two years? Three years? Ten years? At some point, it becomes a big deal. Because it not okay to gain all the benefits of a mutual defense treaty without, yourself, contributing. It's you who are asking the others in the treaty to die for you without you being willing to reciprocate.
