Sorry, I do my best to be both brief and accurate.
Obviously, in this case, I was too brief.
A few minutes googling up the population, GDP and defense spending of Sweden, also produced similar numbers for Greece.
But whereas Sweden spends 1.7% of their GDP on defense, Greece with similar population and GDP, spends 2.3%, which, if you do the math, is 35% more than Sweden.
Of course, neither matches the US 4.3%, but Greece is at least pulling UP the EU's 2% average, while Sweden is pulling it DOWN.
Does that clarify?
35% more...
Yeah thats a good clarification. Thanks.
