“”””””All these NATO countries promised defence spending increases after 2014. None did.
The same countries promised defence spending increases in 2022. It’s not happening.””””””


“Just three countries met the target in 2014, but that number increased to seven in 2022”

“Whereas, while three members of NATO met the 2 percent
of GDP defense spending target in 2014, NATO reports
that as of July 2023, 11 allies met the 2 percent target,
and all 31 allies met the goal to allocate at least 20 percent of defense expenditure to major new equipment”

Six of the nine are: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, Slovak Republic, Greece
