Richard Knighton and Carsten Breuer urge military build-up after Russia shifts posture toward NATO

Richard Knighton and Carsten Breuer, the defense chiefs of the UK and Germany, called for a European military build-up after warning that Russia is reorganizing its forces to threaten NATO.This appeal follows the Munich Security Conference where Marco Rubio urged Europe to take more responsibility as NATO members aim for a 5% GDP spending target by 2035.However, Keir Starmer and other leaders face economic hurdles and low public support, with only 25% of citizens favoring tax increases for military funding.
