Think about defence , man think about passive , it would be logic if budget allocation for passive things is smaller than the other things that active. Like budget for “ increasing cancer diagnosis tools in the health care sector “ . The world pretty much actively engaged in preparation for war therefore military spending increased . Insane 🤯

Trying to get your point.
If you want peace prepare for the war.
The lessons of the previous world wars makes it clear that the new war has already started and in the interest of Europe is to help Ukraine to defeat Russia as soon as possible to suppress the war before hordes come to the EU cities per se.
