NATO goes to Ankara: Will allies finally pay up for Ukraine?

Original version ·

The big bosses from NATO are heading to Ankara, and the word on the street is that it's time for everyone to open their wallets.

So, Matthew Whitaker is making noises about the upcoming NATO summit, and it sounds like Ukraine is going to be the main event. The vibe is that it's not just about speeches this time—they are pushing for some serious, tangible upgrades.

The Americans are basically telling other countries to stop dragging their feet and match the heavy lifting. We are talking about serious hardware like Patriot batteries, precision weapons, and drones. The goal isn't just a bit of help; they want allies to aim for a massive 5% of their GDP on defense. It seems the goal is to turn that vague 'support' into a concrete wall of steel.

When the bill comes due, it turns out that freedom costs a lot more than just a firm handshake.
