5% after all !

The United Kingdom’s 2025 Strategic Defense Review is the biggest overhaul of their military in over a generation aimed at preparing for war to deter it from happening. In fact, all of the 32 European NATO members just met and pledged to reach 5% defense spending by 2035 which means Britain will Rearm at a pace not seen since the Cold War.

Well, I'm sure many Brits are not happy to hear this (at all).  Unfortunately, this is what happens when you sit on your hands and let others do all the heavy lifting for you, for years, decades even.  Now they're going to have to play catch up to get back to where they should have been all along.  Many countries in Europe are in the same boat.  They just relied far too heavily on the US to do everything.  Now Trump has made them see that it's not a matter of him or the US refusing to continue; it's that the US simply CAN'T continue!

The new message..."We're broke!  Now it's your turn."

(This is especially true when many of these countries have been busy wasting billions domestically on all these liberal whims and demands.)

Reality is a helluva drug.
