Original Note:
1) NATO countries in Europe sacrificed soldiers in Afghanistan to help US after 9/11, when US was attacked. 2) 2% spending is NOT a requirement. It’s a guideline. 3) Most European NATO spend +2% today or have put in a budget to make it happen soon. 1) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks 2) https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_67655.htm 3) https://www.politico.eu/article/only-11-nato-allies-set-to-reach-spending-target-new-data-shows/
