I paesi dell’UE devono aumentare la spesa per la difesa, afferma il ministro irlandese

EU countries do.
But it’s a bit ironic coming from Europe’s lowest defence spender at a shockingly low 0.2% GDP.
No wonder we have zero ability to police our own sky’s and seas, much less have the capacity to even put up a token defence should the worst ever happen.

> “Our first port of call should be what we can do on a national level while maintaining financial stability and maintaining the integrity of the budget rules, That’s the thing we’ll be able to do the quickest.”

> “In Ireland for example, we’ve now been significantly increasing our expenditure in defense and security. We are a neutral country but we know we need to invest in our own security and we are planning to further increase that spending in the years ahead.”

The actual quotes from Paschal Donohoe, since I know most people here just react to the headlines without reading the article. He’s not lecturing anyone about not spending enough, as the purposely inflammatory headline would lead you to believe.

We need to sort out this housing crisis first,says minister who doesn’t really care,speaking from his feathered nest.

It’s kind of crazy how reluctant European countries are to increase their military spending. The Ukraine war has been going for three years and isn’t slowing down. The US has shown itself as unreliable though why Europe is so reliant on them is questionable.
