    USA is so much in the enemy pipeline that all EU countries except possibly Spain agreed to all Trump terms about NATO military expenditure and are proceeding to spend billions and billions in the USA military industrial complex.

    EU is not homogeneous, thats why literally all countries except possibly Spain agreed to the military expenditure regardless of whether it’s socdems, conservative Christians or far right in the government.

      Most EU nations had militaries that were shrinking and on the verge of atrophy. They grow now only because Putin ordered the Invasion of Ukraine.

        No, they grow because NATO imposed a 5% of GDP expenditure directed by Trump. This is literally coming from the USA.

        It’s untenable to say that Portugal and Poland coincidentally agreed to spend the same percentage of GDP on military because their governments independently made the decision based on fear of invasion by Russia.
