The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I suspect the Poles would love that. As I recall, we did some training exercises with them last summer.

However, it would be ridiculously expensive to move infrastructure from Germany. Plus, tactically, they are further back from the front lines (or what would be the front lines).

Yes, your data seems to be pretty good. I found this chart useful, even if it's from last July: reuters.com - Scope polands spending spree focus NATO ups defence goal

As of July, 11 are exceeding their targets. Which, as someone point out, they don't owe NATO. It's not like a tax, there is no revenue agency. It's a target or goal. BTW, I earlier misspoke. TWO nations have seen a drop, Italy and Croatia. The rest have seen an increase towards target (including Germany). No surprise, the countries feeling most threatened are generally the ones with the biggest increases. Thanks, Vlad!
