“Poland's defence spending is a model for NATO”
The diplomat was asked whether Poland's high investments in defense make it a strong ally of the United States.
As Brzezinski assessed, “the spending that Poland makes on defense is a model for NATO”. – It is four percent of GDP and we know that it is expensive for the Polish nation, we know that these contracts for billions of dollars flow from the pockets of Polish taxpayers, but it is still the eastern flank NATO – he emphasized. He added that the Russian president Vladimir Putin “it is dangerous” and “we have to make such investments”. – The fact that Poles are doing this is seen as a model for the whole of NATO. It is an example for the Alliance – he added.
