WNU Editor: NATO countries are quick to respond that they meeting their requirements .... NATO allies defend military spending amid Trump criticism (Washington Post/AP). But when one reads what they are saying .... it is the same thing that they have been saying for years. They are all promising to reach their targets .... but all of their targets are way in the future. In the case of Canada, the defense ministers is promising a 70% increase in ten years .... but most of these increases will kick in at the tail-end of ten years (that is if future governments respect these targets) .... and not now.
