    We’ve had multiple presidents get on their soapbox about defense budgets in Europe. One fat orange man in particular. He’s a corrupt idiot but he wasn’t wrong about that. The NATO % GDP benchmark is not onerous. Only military capability will deter some actors as clearly evidenced most recently in Ukraine.

      the ukraine was invaded therefore more military spending would deter russians from invading the ukraine?

      Left wing liberals agreeing with right wing liberals when it is convenient for them. A tale as old as gold.
