- thisislife2 10mo agoAs I said, some European politicians do want to militarise more aggressively. But the European citizens aren't as inclined, and even oppose it. (I think Spain even bluntly told the NATO that it couldn't commit 5% of the GDP as demanded by NATO because of heavy opposition from its citizens). Thus, the superpowers in the NATO have devised a political fear mongering tactic - based on prolonging the Ukraine war and Trump's posturing on Greenland - to sway the citizens to back rapid militarization.
