Britain’s armed forces are too weak to fight Russia and cannot rely on the US in the event of a European conflict, MPs have been told.The UK must step up produc
It’s something the US has basically enforced, it’s their excuse to things like military bases in Okinawa, which goes against Japan’s ideas of not having an army (even though the JSDF has broken this promise of sorts). More military spending it’s not going to bring any good to anyone, specially coming from Europe and its record, specially the Brits.
Ask any of this countries, also include a couple more, Argentina specially, and since we’re are it include all of Latin America since nobody wants them here, how they feel about the Brits. Ah, yeah, I forgot, one European country counts as x100 in contrast with a shitty third world country like ours in your book.
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?
Has Russia invaded a NATO country? No
Should Europe have done more in 2014? Yes
Would Ukraine have been destroyed if they hadn’t received training from NATO members since 2014? Maybe
Ukraine is not a NATO member.
