23 Nations of NATO misses the ‘2%’ Target!

Ah, NATO, the shining beacon of military might and cooperation, or at least that is what they want you to believe. For years, NATO has served as the primary tool for protecting European and Western allies from external threats. After the Ukraine war, the alliance gained a new motivation to expand and upgrade itself. In the early days, there was hope that they would collectively outgun Russia in the future. One of the beloved NATO requirements is for member nations to spend 2% of their GDP on defense. However, it seems that 23 nations have decided to give this rule the old “thanks, but no thanks.”

23 nations miss the target

According to a media report by Reuters, only seven nations have fulfilled their obligation according to NATO’s released data. Even countries like France, Germany, and Italy have missed the mark. This is one country less than in 2021 before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The alliance’s chief, Jens Stoltenberg, said on 21st March, urging allies to boost defense investment more quickly.

This development has dealt a big blow to Europe-US relations. For the eighth consecutive year, European nations have failed to fulfill NATO requirements.

Nearly ten years after the Wales pledge and a year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, NATO allies started discussing how to adjust the spending goal a few weeks ago. A decision is expected at the NATO summit in Lithuania in July, and Stoltenberg has stated that he believes the 2% goal will eventually serve as a floor rather than a ceiling.

Surprisingly, even nations like Germany, France, and Italy are poised to miss the target. Given the ongoing war in Europe, some allies have been pushing for increased military spending, while others have been hesitant to do so.

After the Ukraine war, NATO allies emphasized their unity and commitment to boosting defense spending. However, the cracks are now once again widening. Almost every NATO ally is displaying a big difference between their words and actions.

If the allies continue to ignore the 2% spending target, there can be no doubt that they do not prioritize NATO anymore.
