The war in Ukraine has been a strong wake-up call for a number of European countries who’d been basking in post-Cold War comfort thinking that armed conflict was relegated to history and that spending on defense could be minimal.
The turnaround since Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine has been nothing less than stunning, to the point that six NATO members have now pledged defense increases of $133 billion so far; militarily neutral Sweden has also pledged an increase. And more nations seem poised to follow suit in the days and weeks to come.

Besides upping their defense spending, they also need to dump that small arms treaty that disarms their citizens. Citizen defenders are making a huge difference in the war in Ukraine, but they can't do it without weapons.

If they could find the rest of that COVID money, it could just roll over into the defense fund.
