NATO's Air Defender 2023: Aerial Drills and Military Wargames.
NATO is frustrated with Canada's long-standing resistance to catching up with NATO's spending targets. Canada not only remains far behind on an agreement to eventually spend 2 percent of economic output on defense, it is now part of a tiny group resisting a push to set 2 percent as the alliance's spending floor, rather than the ceiling. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has forced NATO to redesign its military plans, and it needs money for that. Money for more advanced weapons. Money for more ammunition. Money to get thousands of troops ready to defend NATO's eastern flank.
