Defense Spending and Geopolitical Complexities in NATO
The chapter delves into Keir Starmer's stance on defense spending targets, specifically committing to a 2.5% target within NATO, and the political implications of such a decision. It also explores the influence of lobbying groups, military industrial complex, and former defense chiefs on defense policy and funding decisions. The discussion extends to geopolitical implications in Europe, Anglo-American relations post-Brexit, and the selection process for the UK's next ambassador to the US.
