February 20, 20241 yr https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/opinions_222258.htm?selectedLocale=en Over many years, the United States has criticised NATO Allies for not spending enough on defence. Rightly so. And I commend the U.S. leadership on this important issue. But things have changed. All Allies have increased defence investments. Adding an additional 450 billion dollars. NATO Allies have committed to spending at least 2% of their GDP on defence. And many are exceeding that target already. For example, this year Poland will spend more than 4%. No other Ally spends more. With more money, we are boosting our defence industry. NATO creates a market for defence sales. Over the last two years, NATO Allies have agreed to purchase 120 billion dollars’ worth of weapons from U.S. defence companies. Including thousands of missiles to the U.K, Finland and Lithuania, Hundreds of Abrams tanks to Poland and Romania, And hundreds of F-35 aircraft across many European Allied nations – a total of 600 by 2030. From Arizona to Virginia, Florida to Washington state, American jobs depend on American sales to defence markets in Europe and Canada. What you produce keeps people safe. What Allies buy keeps American businesses strong. So NATO is a good deal for the United States.

February 22, 20241 yr Twice In Two Days, Russian Troops Gathered In The Open For Inspection. Twice In Two Days, Ukrainian Rockets Rained Down. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/02/21/twice-in-two-days-russian-troops-gathered-in-the-open-for-inspection-twice-in-two-days-ukrainian-rockets-rained-down/?sh=5bc2b1312f87 Quote Russian regiments and brigades have a bad habit of assembling their troops out in the open, in broad daylight, just 10 or 20 miles from the front line of Russia’s two-year wider war on Ukraine. Either for training or for inspection by some high-ranking officer. Ten or 20 miles is well within range of Ukraine’s American-made M30/31 rockets: the main munition of the wheeled High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System launcher. So it should come as no surprise that, twice in two days, the Ukrainians have spotted—by drone, it seems—and bombarded these gatherings. Reportedly scores of Russians died. They are not real bright, it seems.
