Defense spending by % of GDP, in 2016:

USA 3.61%
Greece (remarkably) 2.38%
UK 2.21%
Estonia 2.16%
Poland 2%
France 1.78%

and after that it mostly gets worse, such as Germany at 1.19%.

Granted that the US spends a lot of it’s 3.61% on non-Nato spending, while I suspect that a country like Germany is spending almost all of what they do spend on NATO related expenses.

And... Turkey spends 1.56% — I’m not so sure we want THEM to increase...

Obviously, the Trump energy agenda will put a serious dent in the ambitions of the Russians, the Saudis, the Iranians...
