I have news--it is even more than that.
We need to spend, produce more or we could be under threat in three, four, five years, Rutte says Rutte says the change in attitude in the last few years, particularly since Russian invasion of Ukraine, is “staggering.” And he warns that war-time Russia “produces, in core ammunition …, in three months what the whole of Nato, a 25 times bigger economy, produces in a year.” “If we don’t take actions now, if we don’t do this now, … the next few years we are fine, but … otherwise three, four, five years from now, we are really under threat,” he says.
And no, it is NOT about spending, it is about REAL resources and real economy. The gap in SMART High Precision and stand-off weapons is measured by the order of magnitude and the gap is widening.
