In their words

  • Vietor calls Trump's 5% of GDP defense target absurd but partly fake because 1.5 points can go to broader security investments.

    “5% is absurd. That said, it's like a fake target because 3.5 of the 5% goes to military spending”

  • Vietor identifies an incoherence in Trump pressing NATO allies on spending while appearing indifferent to Russian aggression.

    “NATO exists to deter a Russian invasion. But Trump sort of doesn't seem to care about Russia invading other countries”
