Ah, Spain doing Spain things again – missing the NATO 5% GDP defense spending target but hey, no consequences! Minister Carlos Cuervo claims Spain is still a “responsible ally” because it meets other military obligations. Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte praises allies who stick to the rules and spend 5% of GDP on defense, but Spain seems to be playing by its own rules. Is this a new definition of alliance or just another example of bending the rules for those who don’t want to pay up? Sound off – is Spain the hero saving money or the traitor to NATO goals?
