I love how they are always saying this shit is "coming" and pretending like it isn't already here. There was one the other day saying that we might be about to enter a recession. Lol

It really is hilarious how they keep discussing this as some future possibility when most people are suffering already.

Wait it was even lower than 2 billion euro before? That seems incredibly low for an org like NATO.

slightly above the military budget of Ethiopia

I'm sure there's lots of indirect funding too.

Guess it's time for Europe to get some of those measures they love proposing to the global south.

It's already being done, at least in France austerity has been the main objective of the three last presidencies, including one guy who had "socialist" in the party name
