There are many reasons to increase the Army’s budget. Funneling money to Macron’s friends in the armament industry is one of them, preparing the public opinion for a war that will never happen to justify “sacrifices” and austerity is another.
These are probably also reasons, but you think war with Russia isn’t on the minds of every government in Europe right now? They’re already fighting a proxy war with Russia! At the very least I think this is one of many reasons for increased military funding.
Not dishonest, but following the jingoistic remarks made by several European leaders plus the current NATO proxy war and economic murder attempt of Russia, it’s at the very least in the cards, lol. The budget could go into Ukrainian drones (it already is, this is just a proposed increase) just like the American budget serves to bomb tf out of Palestine and neighbours. It’s dishonest to say otherwise, come on.

Wow, why would “NATO” do this? Russia hasn’t invaded anyone since 2022201420081999199419791968 1956, that’s such a long time ago, and those Hungarians totally deserved it.
They are already attacking Russia through a proxy. They’ve not been shy about it. They are increasing military spending because they think their proxy is about to collapse and their liege the US is already demanding everyone else step up so they can pivot to China.

Funding the army to protect yourself and your neighbours from aggression is very different from funding the army to invade a sovereign country.
I’m not arguing it’s not one of the reasons for increasing the budget, but arguing it’s to attack Russia is just dishonest.
