You don’t buy material with a percentage of GDP so it is actually the percentage that is “whataboutery”. Compared to the US and China ALL European military, UK’s included, is to laugh about. That is the whole reason behind the development of further EU military integration. Thank you for agreeing with me . Why invent the same wheel 27 times?

Using “Eurotrash” in a civilized discussion and bring on wars that happened before you were even born comes over very immature btw.
