@bradleyheights5905 Ok reality check for Americans. Poland is a non entity EU wise. A pariah third gear country only getting American attention because of its use against Russia. 10 years ago they were still scrubbing toilets in Europe and they only now managed to reach some semblance of European living standards. The 4% statistic figures is like saying that in Somalia there is a 10% growth. That meaning they installed a public water faucet in the central square and the people wont have to drink mud water. France is the only serious player with a still capable military, but also the less eager country to go directly against Russia. UK is like an old aristocrat dressed in tattered silks who cant pay the tax bill of his estates. We are talking about submarines with super glued bolts and a shadow of a military. Finland is like 10 people. They might have an anti-Russian chip on their shoulder but I highly doubt that they would be willing to poke the bear. Getting into NATO was a completely stupid move that will only cost them money that could be spent in better ways. Generally the majority of the EU countries have a military only for parades and they downgraded their military spending because THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO THREAT. The only country that is armed in a dis-proportioned way, still has a ''traditional'' mandatory military service and has an airforce with actual experience in real life dogfights is Greece, and that's because of the issues with Turkey. Good luck with re-introducing mandatory military service in the broader EU again.
