I shouldn't single out Portugal for being insufferable


> I see that Portugal is a perpetual free loader

All of the countries on the lower end are "freeloading" from the countries on the upper end. Idk why you singled out Portugal here instead of rich countries like Luxemburg 

> Most members are above 2 percent this year?  I am skeptical because it’s never been that high since the Cold War ended

E.g. Germany has made a big one-time money package to their military. It's not a permanent budget. Similar might be true for more European countries during the Ukraine war.
