Defense Spending and NATO Threats

Well, what we have seen is that since the, uh, uh, fall of the Berlin Wall,

um, um, too much of the defense spending was cut

thinking that we now have-- we're living in this

kumbaya of never a war again and, and oh, we love each other, et

cetera. And, and then Putin came on board

and became more and more

radicalized and becoming, becoming a long-term threat to NATO.

So that's why we're spending more building the capabilities.

This is what you need to do, becoming stronger.
