Also interesting is that of those not pulling their weight 4, Germany, France, Italy, and Canada, are in the top 10 of the world's highest GDPs. A further 3, Spain, Netherlands, and Turkey, are in the top 20.

If those seven were to increase expenditure to the agreed upon 2% it would likely represent a significant boost to NATO's capabilities.
