NATO chief Mark Rutte said in DAVOS:
We are safe now, but NATO collectively is not capable of defending itself in four or five years if we maintain the 2%.

Is NATO Close To Going Bankrupt? Or is it just propaganda for countries to increase military spending, as Trump wants?
With the fall of the Soviet Union, NATO should have been dismantled, but bureaucrats fought to continue existing, desperately searching for new justifications for this. Found it!
Ukraine will never join NATO
They don't have 67 votes in US Senate
I don't care what the Budapest Memorandum says, it's not a treaty
I agree, Ukraine will never be part of it and in reality NATO never wanted to be.
Their intention was something else that didn't work out.
exactly
Does NATO have some weak points at the moment? Yeah but pretty much all the countries are ramping up spending past the 2% point which is why Trump now wants 5%. When he did this last time he was in office Trump was able to get countries to boost their spending and it makes sense to continue to do so given the undersea cable incidents.
Countries like Spain and Italy are hurting for cash and so I doubt they will be able to ramp up considering they are not even at the 2% level.
I hope so.
How does nato even raise money?
They don't, completely dependent on USA
USA plus parasites = NATO

Call in NATO we can’t they have no money
NATO should be dismantled
It's propaganda. We need to reduce the 2% and stop funding wars for the US. The guy can fund them with the profits from his solana tokens, if he wants.
