Regarding the NATO target of 2%: several countries have recently reached that target, that aren’t show on the map above. A (possibly incomplete) set include Czechia, Germany, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Turkey.

You can probably move the Crimea to the right 😑
Trump will be infuriated that Black Sea doesn’t spend 5% of its GDP.
I never get why this is a relevant number to begin with. You don’t go around striving to spend 5% of your budget on groceries either? You set a max budget and try to get the best quality and as much for as a little money as possible.
So I’d think for the military you’d set a goal to have X tanks, X missile and so on, and then you try to get there for as little money as possible.
Sweden spent more than that in 2024, 2% in pure military spending and 2.2% defence spending (above the NATO 2% defence spending target)
5% is the max budget. Now get your groceries
It looks like Europe can finance Ukraine much cheaper than Russia itself needs for military? Just continue until Russia is out of business.
Russia’s GDP is approximately the same size of Italy’s and they’re spending around 7% in military. The GDP of NATO countries is 20 times bigger than the Russian, meaning that if all NATO contributes 2% the military expense is 6 times higher than the Russian. The fact that they are now talking about 5% of GDP does not make any sense and will just incentive the governments to do some accounting makeup classifying as military expense things that are actually not.
Countries closer to enemy countries spend more in military than countries further away from danger, that’s just common sense (with some exceptions)
EU is doomed with such weak response.
Russia are having to raid the state pension fund to pay for their military spending. It’ll run out in 2026 and they’ll find it hard to borrow because their economy is in ruin. Basically, military spending is what’s keeping their economy alive right now. Russia isn’t sustainable.
