Its kind of crazy that despite their impoverished status Greece is one of the very few NATO members meeting their spending commitments (a cynic would say that with such carnage in their economy a commitment based upon a percentage of GDP is progressively easier to attain..)and no matter how you play the numbers they are making real investments – including in German submarines that unbelievably do not work, prior French sourced equipment and now this. There is a sneaking suspicion and a persistent rumour that certainly France and probably Germany put the screws on them – "buy our kit or we shall not support the bail-out". Could not possibly be true of course – and even if it was under Hollande, surely super squeaky clean Macron would not countenance it. Must all be fake news.
Nice looking ship though… |

I don't know. I miss ships bristling with weapons and pointy bits. I really liked the look of the OH Perrys. |

Greece's "overspending" is geared more towards keeping up with Turkey (which spends about twice as much as Greece on defense) than any arbitrary 2 percent Nato guideline. |
