Which is a sight to behold. Before the invasion of Ukraine, German military budget was 1.3% of the GDP, although it was supposed to be 2.3 or something for NATO member states.
There's was an agreement between NATO members to reach 2% of GDP military spending by 2024. That's only indirectly relevant though and also often misrepresented in the news, mostly thanks to Trump back then.
