Nice, better safe than sorry.
Wow. So now they would be able to afford *two* tanks.
Ah, the classic scenario preceding an upcoming war-increasing military spending.
Can’t wait to see how we are going to name that one.
too low, I would feel safer with 7-10% or even more
Many countries in Europe spent years before WWII 10%
Countries like poland and the baltics are using the defense budget as a jobs program that is socially acceptable to run huge deficits for
To incrase the defense budget is one thing, to do so in a way that is coupled with massive deficits is a terrible idea, you cant defend your country if you are going to go bankrupt, and there is a lot of spending that is just there as a nice political strategy that makes otherwise economic populism more palateable
Godspeed to the Baltics, i worry for them and I wish the likes of France, Germany and ourselves would aim to spend similar and help them out.
Baltics should have a defence pact and and shared air-force procurement
I know they are in NATO but they need to act as one, just in case NATO takes to long ever to respond, also all having one type of multirole jet with same bombs/missiles will help.
they need to be glide bombing any russian advances day 1.
Can’t wait to see how much Putin will whine about this one
Why am I paying this with my taxes?
So much money wasted on useless bullshit in countries that allready arent the richest, i despise geopolitics
