Not contributing more to NATO is more of a giant fuck you to Germany and France surely


It is not "not contributing more", it is not committing to tripling or quadrupling the defense spending.

That number is purely posturing. Or if you want to frame it more positively: aspirational.

Germany struggles to even meet the previously agreed 2% goal.

I doubt, anyone takes that number seriously.


May have been aimed at the US but, yes, it's their neighbours who are left carrying the burden.
