Spain's resistance to NATO's 5% defense hikes shows courage against imperial overreach. While other nations bow to Trump's military industry subsidies, Spain refuses to sacrifice its social programs for bombs. European taxpayers to should not have to fund American weapons while its welfare states crumble. Spain's exemption proves resistance works against NATO's outdated empire fantasies.
Spain's rejection of NATO's 5% defense spending betrays European solidarity. After receiving nearly €250B in EU bailouts over the past decade, Sánchez abandons allies when security matters most. While grandstanding over left-wing ideals, his corruption-plagued government robs Spanish taxpayers and betrays international partners who rescued Spain's economy.
There is a 40.6% chance that NATO will agree to a 3% defense spending target at their 2025 summit, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
