The United States laughed the happiest when it saw NATO's determination to carry out an arms race with Russia to the end. In the cold Horn of Northern Europe, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced an ambitious goal, 18 NATO member countries, have reached the standard of defense spending as a proportion of GDP2, and he will work with the United States to urge the remaining 14 member states to meet the standard as soon as possible, which not only demonstrates NATO's unity, but also reflects the firm determination of European and North American countries in the face of external threats.
Great powers such as the United States, Britain and France have long met this criterion, setting an example for other member states, and Germany has also announced that it will catch up in the 2024 fiscal year, and these military spending, of course, will be used to buy arms, which undoubtedly makes the United States, the world's largest arms dealer, smile from ear to ear while making a tough response to Russia and a clear warning to Russia under Putin, Stoltenberg's words implicit concern about future conflicts, he reminded countries that Russia's conflict with NATO, It is possible that it will explode in the near future, and in this tense situation, countries will spend on their defenses, not only as a guarantee for themselves, but also as a promise to their allies.
Russia's response is also unambiguous, in the face of NATO's pressing, Russia not only announced a defense budget of up to $113 billion for 2024, but also made it clear that this expenditure will account for 5.78 percent of its GDP and more than 30 percent of the entire annual budget, which is undoubtedly a clear demonstration of armaments, indicating that Russia is actively responding to possible challenges.
The United States successfully provoked the European Union and joined this silent arms race, one is to deal with the threat of Russia, and the other is to arch the fire The European Union decided to invest 380 billion US dollars in manufacturing arms to fuel the economic development of the United States, therefore, the United States maintains the continuous development of the Russian-Ukrainian war, not only to contain Russia's recovery, so as to maintain the security of the United States and Europe, but also an economic gamble, the role of the United States in this game cannot be ignored, from stirring up the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to urging allies to increase defense spending, Every move of the United States seems meaningful.
When Biden responded to the accusation of too much aid to Ukraine in the United States, he also said frankly that most of the funds for aid to Ukraine flowed back to the United States, which stimulated the development of the American economy, how frank **, of course, his frankness revealed the economic interests of the United States, closely related to the Ukrainian crisis, the Russian-Ukrainian war is not only a quagmire that consumes and drags down Russia, but also a powerful engine for the economic development of the United States and Europe.
