600 billion isn’t funneled into NATO you absolute mong. Literally read the chart you just posted it says only 30 billion is directly spent on europe with the rest of the spending going towards our own military which has assets across the globe. Most european defense in operated by europeans. More or less we provide manpower and weapons systems for europeans to purchase.

And to pick on Norway as an example of spending when they have a population less than Indiana isn’t saying much

Maybe look at Germany or Britain. Germany specifically put funding into recruiting some 20,000 men over the last two years in response to Russia.

germany also trains tank maneuvers with broomsticks and is notoriously underfunded

and does not want to change

Page 4 graph 5

NATO guidelines require at least 2% funding of GDP into defence

USA is 5.28 %

Which is completely arbitrary

europe and canada 1.48

Germany has begun to change as has Europe in the face of russia

out of 919 billion dollars in 2018

605 was USA dollars

313 was europe and canada combined

You can see in the link you just posted that non-american spending has been rising

Because now they have something to spend it for, Russia.

There hasn’t been a need for most european nations to spend so much for the past three decades, unlike the US has as the world peace keeper.

2011 percentage of GDP spent on defense
1.52 in 2011 1.48 in 2018

Germany (Euros) 34,630 36,168 34,593 34,749 35,898 37,598 40,447 41,913
from 2011 to 2018

the monetary value has slightly increased

that is true

Albania (Leks) 19,877 19,820 19,022 18,788 16,671 16,250 17,199 19,492

Hungary (Forint) 295,967 297,650 286,341 281,402 316,338 362,798 402,793 484,031

Hungary has really increased theirs though

Comparing 2011 to 2018 overlooks that spending was still declining until Russia annexed crimea in 2014.

but over all the values have stayed the same

Since 2014 it’s gone up

adding 3-6 billion to the budget

does nothing

thats very little

Because it’s only been four years and the politics take time to change

a billion dollars to a nation is not very much

Depends on which country

Again it’s not that they cannot do it it’s because many in Europe still don’t see a need to spend so much

Also short scale numbers LUL

Europe is perfectly capable of militarization as seen in the cold war

Give it a decade of spending increases with russia acting as a threat and they can rival us spending

We are *capable* of

We aren‘t barbarians though

there will be another british empire

I wish

Fuck the British

The Brits are one of the biggest forces responsible for the world being such a shithole today

lmao

wrong

@Deleted User brits made the industrial revolution

fuckoff youre troll nigga

lmao ok sport

your country is derailing far quicker then mine

a small island vs a large landmass

population is more easily replaced

wtf are you talking about?

Britain made the refugee crisis

oh no no no no

By drawing up shitty borders in the middle east and supporting the Sauds during ww1

thats just factually incorrect
refugee crisis was caused by cia/ mossad intervention in teh middle east

weve remained mostly unaffected by refugees anyway
most of the brunt is on eastern euro

Yeah but who created Israel

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration

the artifical countrys made by the british caused the ethnic tension to allow for Wahhabism to take hold better

are you serious

its not just one factor

are you denying your countrys role

this is advanced gymnastics

israelis constantly interfered with our process
which is why we let them go

"His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."

ok?
i dont see how any of that has any relevance to the current refugee crisis

If you claim that mossad is responsible for it

Than so would the British lmao

it didnt spring from thin air

They literally allowed Israel to come into existence

youre seriously an idiot

it was a progressive line of factors that came into play

cause and effect

ect.

your just being blatantly disingenuous

Dont deny the fact that the british empire is why Israel exists rn

^

the british literally caused the conflicts in the Middle east by making countrys based on oil and money rather then ethnic groups and religion

except...
you havent established any causal relationship between british policy and the refugee crisis @Veraien

all you have said is that britain had a role in the existence of israel
