NATO was a common argument (most EU countries are not spending the required 2% of GDP on army)


> most EU countries are not spending the required 2% of GDP on army

Because the 2% requirement doesn't kick in for another 5 years.


Hmm, is that true for any EU nation? I'm almost sure it's not true for the Czech Republic. At least our politicians are using it as an argument nearly every day and no one had yet made that point.


Possibly but you made the initial affirmative statement of 2% of GDP. You should be able to source that and get the answer to your question about Czech.


I rephrased the argument exactly as it is said. It is not my argument. It's true that I wrote it pretty unclearly from a hindsight.
