One reason is that all NATO  conflictdefencegeopoliticalmembersreactionsseveralspendingtargettrendunbelievable met their target to spend two per cent of their GDP on defence.

Another reason is the war between Russia and Ukraine. This  conflictdefencegeopoliticalmembersreactionsseveralspendingtargettrendunbelievable is now in its fifth year. Russia spent around $190 billion on  conflictdefencegeopoliticalmembersreactionsseveralspendingtargettrendunbelievable. This was 7.5 per cent of its GDP. Ukraine spent an  conflictdefencegeopoliticalmembersreactionsseveralspendingtargettrendunbelievable 40 per cent of its GDP on the war.
