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?
>>508710426 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.
>>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.
>>508709729 (OP) >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
>>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.

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
>>508710426 spain and portugal have africa tier weather its understandable that they cant work, else they would just die (we have no ac in eurocuckland)
>>508720886 >would spain even notice if they got invaded? Last time they got invaded, they invented "guerrilla" and everything worked ok for them

>>508709729 (OP) Because they can't afford it. They're too busy killing their tourism industry by banning Brits. Does NATO really need to dagos anyway?
