Over trillion of dollars a year for war: as NATO is preparing for an attack of

The analyst Eugene NATO's Hague Summit was very much waiting for what to do with what to count on for the next 5 years, since strategic uncertainty has been strongly delayed lately. And some of the contours of the future were really outlined - it became clear that Europe is preparing for war and when Ukraine would become a real member of the Alliance.

I have been waiting for the Hague Summit to understand what to count on for the next 5 years, because recently strategic uncertainty has been greatly delayed. However, it has become clear now. What is 5% of NATO's GDP for defense? This is $ 1. 2 Trillion annually. Twice as much as the states were spent on average on defense during the Cold War, including inflation. So, the first conclusion is that Europe is preparing for a large -scale war. The prospect of NATO for Ukraine was not going anywhere.

Therefore, the conclusion of the second - Ukraine will become a member of NATO the next day after the united Europe has been attacked. European armed forces exist in a single NATO framework. No separatism, although Article 5 is publicly in doubt by the US President. This means that NATO can fight different leadership in different theaters. Most likely, the states will lose the European Command of NATO, and the EU will not interfere with what is happening in the South China Sea.

NATO ceases to be US international forces. And this is already irreversible. You can also agree with the macron that it is impossible to build common safety while having trade wars. The issues of tariffs should be agreed in the near future. The attempt to snatch a piece from Europe simply because we want to work, and it is necessary to work safely with new order of international trade.

Most liked the absolutely sober view of the state of affairs from the President of Finland Alexander Stubba: NATO is reborn to respond to the threat for which it was created - to restrain Russia. And this is, on the one hand, the good news for Ukraine, because it makes it possible to create a strong state and protect its territory, and on the other - the final point for all hallucinations on the topic of rapid return to pre -war life.
