    2Billion? Seriously? I’m not a fan of the military-industrial complex, but 2 billion sounds like the annual military budget for a well to-do developing nation.

      It’s just the money for fostering cooperation. This is not the money for the member state militaries.

      The European military budget alone is more than 200 bil. NATO minus the US spends 360 bil, with Russia and China spending 370 bil combined.

      The US spends more than 800 bil, but that’s their problem.
