I think you're missing a lot of the context here.
The collective agreement means that 3.5% of GDP will be spent on defense and 1.5% on defense related measures (cybersecurity, infrastructure security etc.). It applies to all countries in the alliance, including the US.
The US already spends around 3.5% on defense according to Reuters and there is no requirement to use US manufacturers over others.
I am not saying increasing defence spending is a good thing, just that you or the headlines have misinterpreted the agreement.
Big O O F
I mean this was always the case, right? Just the headline is making people think the alliance is falling apart.
Article 5 only says all parties will take "...such actions as deemed necessary...to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."
Looks good, but charges a standard 10% booking fee which seems very steep imo. But I'm a cheap ass...
It's additionally funny because the title on the webpage doesn't pick up the 2nd "the".
While the fuck cars sentiment is as important as always, planning rules like this have a few goals which aren't all so malicious, including stopping projects decoupling their parking space and selling it for extra, or avoiding 30+ cars all over the sidewalks once everyone is moved in.
Planning codes tend to try and anticipate a community's immediate vicinity needs. The best approach though would be "$x000 per unit to provide and maintain local public transport facilities and routes"
That is a lot of baggage to be carrying. I'm sorry for everything you're all going through.
If you want blind judgement on the situation... If "I went on a date that went nowhere when we were broken up" is a "confession" that will end your relationship, then sorry but it's already dead IMO. This should be a non-issue at all times.
Is this really an ADHD thing?
