For example the bold decision taken to peg defence spending at 2% of GDP reversed the decline of decades. I thought that was courageous and very successful.
Surely that does not reverse anything, it simply puts a brake on further reductions in capability, though with ageing equipment does that amount actually allow for replacement sustainability to keep those assets at the stripped down state the military is at now? Or does it truly represent a chance to actually increase military spending to recover some of the lost capabilities?
