Maria De AgostoSo...the resources that should be allocated to fight #climateemergency, not to mention its widrawal impact on public services, the main core of the social contract between the State and the citizens, are to be plundered by the war industries and its minions, already fattening themselves on the misery in Ukraine and Palestine and the lesser mediatized wars that keep the business flourishing. #droledeguerre #warlords #deathindustries

Spain rejects NATO's 5% defense spending proposal
Spain has rejected a NATO proposal to spend 5% of gross domestic product on defense needs that’s expected to be announced next week. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called it “unreasonable” in a letter sent Thursday to NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. Sánchez said that Spain “cannot commit to a specific spending target in terms of GDP” at next week’s NATO summit in The Hague. Most U.S. allies at NATO are on track to endorse U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand that they invest 5% of gross domestic product on their defense needs. Sweden and the Netherlands said in early June that they aim to meet the new target.
