This is what's scary. These are the Defense Ministers of 5 NATO Countries:

There is only one NATO country right now that is becoming more militaristic, and that's Turkey. Think about that for a second,and what it potentially means for the rest of Europe. Forget Putin, the real enemy is already in NATO.

Oh, I don’t know, Estonia and a couple of the other small countries, plus Poland*, are halfway sensible. The problem is that they are the exception, and most of the “sensibles”, Poland excepted, are so small.

*Poland hit the 2% of GDP for defense spending in 2016, increasing it by 9.4%, according to this source:

(Poland increased defense spending in 2015 by 18%: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/poland/11641852/Poland-increases-military-spending-in-response-to-Russias-belligerence.html )
