iirc 5% represents a deterrence strategy. Supposedly, 5% is enough for a country to support two consecutive wars. What tends to happen throughout history is that leaders are opportunistic. When a war pops off, a neighbor might see this as an opportunity to launch their own war while everyone's focused on the first, so a bit of a domino effect. The idea is for NATO countries to be able to fight two fronts simultaneously so that they can intervene in the first war, and deploy to contain the second war. If other countries know that NATO is able to support a two front war, it acts as a deterrence for other opportunistic countries that might start new conflicts.
