Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has broken ranks with other NATO leaders as he refused to commit to spending 5 percent of GDP on defense. It’s a welcome move, and a rare voice of dissent from Europe’s rush to remilitarize.
How can you cover a story about that without even mentioning the reason for the EU’s rearmament and calling out Russia as the aggressor of the Ukraine war?
Jacobin is perpetrating the same anti-democratic talking points as many of its authors (such as Yanis Varoufakis and others). This is more a propaganda than an independent source.
The Spanish PM is also a close ally of China btw, the country which has been labeled as “decisive enabler” of Russia in its war against Ukraine.
Also, Mr. Sanchez nor the Jacobin mentions that Russia spends 7.1% of its GDP for military (according to SIPRI, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute), and officially ~40% of its annual budget.
