Quote by Anders Fogh Rasmussen
Ten years ago U.S. defence investment represented almost half of all defence expenditure in the whole alliance. Today it is 75%. This increasing economic gap may also lead to an increasing technology gap which will almost hamper the inter-operability between our forces.
Summary
This quote highlights that ten years ago, the United States accounted for nearly half of the total defense spending within the alliance. However, currently, the US represents 75% of the total expenditure, indicating a significant increase in its defense investment. This widening economic gap between the US and other members may result in a technology gap that will impede the ability of their forces to work together effectively. In other words, the discrepancy in financial resources may hinder the compatibility and cooperation between military forces, potentially compromising overall alliance strength and coordination.
