Why is Spain refusing to raise their defense budget to 5% of GDP? All the other NATO countries are doing it. Do they need the money to pay for migrants?

Why do we need to raise it to 5% when the US is spending 3%?
+No, we are not going to buy your arms or support Israel

because they don't have any money

How does income relate to % of defense spending? The less they earn, less they have to spend. They already owe a lot to mr Shekelstein though.

Because NATO wouldn´t defend Spain against Morocco so why bother

>>508709994
To catch up for the failure to meet even the 2%?

>>508711239
Why do we even need to meet some arbitrary quota? NATO won't defend us when Morocco invades us while using american weapons

>>508709729 (OP)
Because Spain has exactly zero enemies.
No idea why they are in NATO or even have a military at all, they could be like Costa Rica.

>>508712110
Apparently they are on bad terms with Morocco.

open a map retard

>>508711634
all the more reason to raise your defense budget

>>508709994
The real answer, you don't feel threatened. I understand that, just leave NATO then. Turkey is more NATO than you.

>>508712194
Which they can shoo off with a 0,5% of GDP pretend military. We never expected help from you when Russia attacks.
You're NATO decoration.

>when Russia attacks
audibly kek'd

>>508712110
Russians are the natural enemies of all european kind. Were France and Germany to lose, the Russians wouldn't stop at the Spanish border, so it's in their interest to contribute to collective defense even if the hypothetical war would be fought far from them.

>>508709729 (OP)
The real queation is why are we agreeing to do raise it to 5%? That's African dictatorship-tier. Normal countries are building nuclear power plants and kindergardens, not buying second rate weaponry.

>>508709994
Because your poor nation's 5% is several times less than your master, USA's 3%. Know your math, Jose. You are too poor and too brown among the Western Europeans that you lost most of your colonies by losing in civil wars.

>Why is Spain refusing to raise their defense budget to 5% of GDP?
because that money could be better used for other things, like lining up our politicians' pockets

>>508709729 (OP)
Spain is a backward country. They were still under a dictatorship till the 80's

>>508709994
if you want a real answer, it is because the US has been covering your defense for decades at virtually no cost to you
after some years of warning, this is now ended

>>508715990
No, we are not funding you nor Israel

>>508716188
We don't need NATO
>Article 42(7) TEU: If a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. This shall not prejudice the specific character of the security and defence policy of certain Member States.

pull up a map
they're farthest away from Russia of all EU counries
they don't think they'll need the military
simple as

Maybe it has something to do with geography. Who the fuck is going to attack Spain.

>>508717911
By your logic, we would need to spend 60% of our GDP on defense, you disgusting rat kike

>>508718692
We never used your defense. In fact, we had to spend resources funding your pointless wars in the balkans, africa and the middle east. Enough is enough

>>508709729 (OP)
Spain has zero beef with Russia, even if Russia invade all of Europe Spain would probably be safe because France and Germany would act as a buffer against ruskies

would spain even notice if they got invaded?

spain and portugal have africa tier weather its understandable that they cant work, else they would just die (we have no ac in eurocuckland)

>>508709729 (OP)
Because Spain is Socialist/Commie sympathetic as fuck and wants Russia to win. Only dumb /pol-tards think Russia is 'Right-Wing'.

>>508720886
>would spain even notice if they got invaded?
Last time they got invaded, they invented "guerrilla" and everything worked ok for them

>>508723686

Because they can't afford it.
They're too busy killing their tourism industry by banning Brits.
Does NATO really need to dagos anyway?
