      Defense spending has doubled over the past decade, but much of it is lost to inefficiency. Imagine if the US had 50 small armed forces. In other words; more spending would just result in more of the same. It would deliver little security and maintain the dependence on the US. An insult to the taxpayer! What Europe needs is integration.

      those are rookie numbers, we need to quadruple that and deliver every fucking bullet and artillery piece to ukraine

      3.46 trillion from europe went in “investment” to the USA, 70% more than in 2015 and making european countries almost 2/3 of total foreign investments into the USA! we could have invested all that money locally!

      Adjusted for inflation its around 40% growth over 20 years. Less than impressive, given the geopolitical situation.

      I wonder what happened in 2014, that made Europe increase defense spending 🤔

      Im afraid we soon need to match America 900 billion dollars

      Defense spending looking awfully like the Israeli coastline, what did they mean by this?

      Title is misleading. It’s not doubled. When we take into account an average annual inflation rate of 2.23%, the real value of 150 billion euros from 2004 in 2025 would be approximately 230 billion euros. In this case, the expenditure has not doubled but has increased by around 41%.

      Poland and co have picked up the baton after the UK left. Unless this included the UK.

      Then again UK defence spending is misleading as much of it includes pension payments.

      We must increase spending to 5%/gdp for some time and after that probably around 3 to 3.5%. At the same time, we must buy european and create a real european Army with joint procurement of weapons and joint command in case of wartime and peace.

      Interesting how growth actually started with the invasion of Crimea, well before 2022

      All this talk about double or tripling defence spending misses one thing….who are we spending it to defend from?
      If European countries collectively spend €1 trillion a year on defence against Russia, it would be massive over kill. Wouldn’t need super carriers or thousands of nuclear ballistic missiles…..though we made need to spend to defend ourselves from the USA.

      2005 is not a decade ago.

      (The title is still correct, but the label in the plot obfuscates your point.)

      Now stretch the line back to 1989. And look at actual troop numbers, not just money spent. Forget about Russia, DPRK could likely conquer EU at this point.

      Can Europe please just go develop a few thousand nukes? It’s the only deterrence that matters.

    23. Kovrtex on

      And have the competencies and defense capabilities also doubled or do we just waste more money?

    24. RAStylesheet on

      Yet we are still lacking a true missile defence system and nuclear weapons

      We are basically sitting ducks
