It was never a requirement tho, just a guide line. and there are clear needs for exceptions like Iceland. a key strategic location with no military.


That being said Europe needs to be closer to its cold war spending.

For the record the UK were spending 5% of GDP during the 70s in the cold war.
That's 2.6% more than the 2.4% that Labour have planed to spend with no additional planed upgrade by the end of this Parliament in 2029.
(The Torries planed to spend 2.5% now and 3% by the end of this Parlianent in 2029).

Probably through growth but hey - that's for a different thread.

It's a percentage, so you can only fund it by diverting a percentage from other services.
