Czech government OKs bill for 2% GDP spending on military

FILE - U.S. military personnel work near F-35 fighter jet of the Vermont Air National Guard, parked in the military base at Skopje Airport, North Macedonia, on June 17, 2022. On Wednesday Jan. 4, 2023, The Czech Republic's government has approved legislation to make it mandatory for the country's defense spending to meet the required NATO goal of 2% of gross domestic product amid the Russian war against Ukraine.

PRAGUE — The Czech government on Wednesday approved a bill aimed at bringing defense spending at the required NATO goal of 2% of gross domestic product as Russia’s war in Ukraine continues. Cernochova said the war in Ukraine “made it clear we have to be ready for the current and future conflicts and that’s why a fast modernization of the army is absolutely necessary.”

Oooh, smart move Joe, you old fox.

Rychleji! Lopata rychleji!

While a big part of Czech population live in poverty...

So we pay 4% to provide security to Europe and Asia and they spend less than 2% while having useful social programs. What tf do we gain paying for their defense?

NATO countries: “Why do we even need to reach the goal? I see no threats.” Putin: “I’m announcing a special military operation.” NATO countries: “Oh that’s right.”

Dear NATO, The czech is in the mail.

2% is not a required NATO goal. You are AP, you should know that. It is just a guideline, a word NATO uses over an over again, please read:
