YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis week, I discussed the current state of the Ukraine war and the EU’s involvement in it with Zain Raza of Germany's independent media outlet, AcTVism Munich.
Among other issues, Zain and I explored the question of NATO military spending. NATO’s annual collective military spending was in the range of US$1.2 trillion before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began last year. This constituted approximately three times the combined military spending of China and Russia. Since the invasion began, NATO governments have claimed repeatedly that they must now spend considerably more to keep us safe, but not one of those governments has provided a remotely credible explanation for why NATO is unable to satisfy its collective defence needs by spending three times more than China and Russia combined. It seems that NATO military spending is *never* enough.
