I wasn’t aware of that but it looks like he is upset that Spain won’t meet its defense spending commitments for NATO. Which goes back to my point about how the EU is totally reliant on the US for security. Europe’s biggest threat is itself, they won’t even do the bare minimum to ensure their security.

US would spend that money regardless of what Europe spent as they want to continue to use it to oppress and destroy the world. And the real reason they want us to spend more is to buy more weapons from them.
Some arbitrary threshold set by a completely demented US president (25% of government budget or whatever nonsense that idiot asked NATO peers to spend, probably on american mil. tech) has nothing to do with how european countries would/are able to defend themselves.
