Did Donald Trump ask NATO partners to invest more in arms to take account of the safety of Poland or Lithuania? Nope. He only imagined that European countries would spend, for example, EUR 100 billion alternatively of buying equipment in the US for about EUR 50 billion.
Europe, however, made Trump into a balloon, and declared a crucial increase in military spending, but the equipment is not to be from America, but to be produced in Europe.
France, Germany, and another countries have easy agreed to increase defence budgets. Did they mean the safety of Poland and Lithuania? possibly a little, but mostly everyone is happy that they can stimulate the economy of war production.
It is absurd of the modern planet that the production of something absolutely meaningless (i.e. tanks, cannons, and another rockets) is simply a salvific thing for economics. There's something about that that's akin to making cigarettes. Tobacco growers, mill workers, vendors, they have money to buy bricks, cars, the state has excise money, and the economy is spinning. And the fact that smoking only hurts is another thing.
For Poland, the situation of expanding the production of arms in Europe is twofold favourable. We will besides benefit from stimulating the economy with printed money, and we will be a small more secure.
