I wonder who would be the better guarantor of Trump's election victory - Biden, or Harris?

My information shows Denmark currently at 1.65% but the main importance is they are resolving to increase their funding....but not for almost nine years?

I can only say what they told us in the news at noon. The government has decided to add xx BN Danish kroner to the military which will make Denmark among those who pay almost 2%. Additional the support for Ukraine shall be counted into the equation. Markus

The Netherlands has not yet met the standard, but is getting close for the first time this year. In 2024, the Dutch armed forces will have 21 billion euros to spend. To ensure that the Netherlands can permanently meet the standard, an additional two billion euros per year must be spent on defence starting in 2026. This all depends on the government we try to form, one of the biggest party is against NATO hope the other parties in the new government can prevent this.

We do not need to fear that mutch for Russia before it can attack NATO it needs to rebuild his army that takes years and with Finland in NATO Putin will not dear to attack they tried it in the past and lost that sandkasten spiel and with all his offensive army in Ukraine it can only defend on the NATO-Russia border and that became very large recently. We in the West better give more support to Ukraine they inflict substantial damage on the Russian military, preventing them from open up other fronts. Don't forget also Poland with 2,000 brand-new tanks, armoured howitzers, large numbers of Apache helicopters, Abrams tanks, 506 Himars missile systems in addition, the government signed a mega deal with the South Korean defence industry: FA-50 jet fighters, another 288 Korean Himars lookalikes, 648 armoured howitzers (much of which will be built in Poland itself), and another thousand K2 tanks. The orders give additional teeth to the existing armed forces. These number nearly 300,000 soldiers and already had 800 pieces of artillery and 650 tanks, including the German Leopard 2. Anybody really thinks Russia can destroy this?
