NATO: France Says It Is Ready to Join the 5% of GDP Target in Security Expenditure

The Secretary-General of NATO Mark Rutte hopes that the Alliance countries will spend at least 3.5% of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on military expenditure stricto sensu by 2032, but also 1.5% on broader security expenditure, such as infrastructure.

Why would he be bothered because there is not in France the slightest opponent, those who claim to defend peace do so by proclaiming that Putin's Russia and Xi's China are the enemies and that Zelensky is the example to follow.. but who hopes to convince on these bases? What peace movement can form on such an ideological base? Especially when it is known that NATO is totally under US command and that all current European "defence" renews its mat…

Rutte's plan, discussed this Thursday by the Foreign Ministers in Turkey, consists of raising traditional military spending to 3.5% and introducing an additional target of 1.5% of security investment in a broad sense: both must be achieved by 2032.
