    the EU is building up its own defense industry, which it needs to do if they leave NATO. So one way or another, the defense spending needs to be up.

    Seems reasonable, would really like it if world spending on weapons went down, hopefully the spike from being self sufficient is transitory.

      I hope the same. Imo defense spending is pretty useless for society. Except for maybe the development of new tech, but that can be done more efficiently by spending the money directly on that anyways.
