    Denmark is meeting 2% as of some weeks(?) ago, but I’m not sure if that’s because of bureaucrats counting Ukraine donations or if we actually did ramp up military spending.

      Well, the article I read about the artillery donation mentioned that they were reopening a factory for the production of more shells with the intent to increase their reserves.

      Honestly, as long as that stock is getting replaced donating anything to Ukraine is pretty cost effective spending for NATO defence.

      It’s directly reducing Russia’s operational capacity.

      Count it.

        I am completely in favor of throwing everything we have into Ukraine. It was never going to be used at home, anyway…
