In 2024, the United States allocated approximately $916 billion to defense, constituting about 3.4% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This percentage aligns with the historical trend of U.S. defense spending relative to GDP. For comparison, NATO members in Europe and Canada spent an average of 2% of their GDP on defense during the same period.
Looking ahead, projections indicate that U.S. defense outlays could reach approximately $1.1 trillion by 2033, which would represent about 2.8% of the nation's GDP.
We've been begging the lazy Europeans for 29 years to spend at least 2% of GDP on defense but instead they just lay around and drink wine and let us defend them while they get free healthcare
I don't like Trump
But finally he just said f*** it Russia can't even invade a banana Republic with one tenth of the GDP of Russia
I think the Europeans can handle it
Adios NATO. Lots of luck
The EU has 10 times the GDP of Russia which has 10 times the GDP of the Ukraine
Russia is clearly militarily incompetent and I think Trump is right and the EU can handle it
Nothing pains me more than agreeing with Donald Trump
