Former NATO Secretary General George Robertson has strongly criticized the British government's defense strategy, accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer of not investing enough in the country's military capabilities.
According to George Robertson, the British leader is not making the "necessary decisions" in the face of current security challenges. He also denounced the influence of "non-military experts" who, in his view, are weakening defense decision-making.
These criticisms come as the United Kingdom has set a target of increasing its military spending to 3% of its gross domestic product. However, the government has not yet detailed the specific ways in which this target will be financed.
Keir Starmer's entourage has "totally" rejected these accusations, defending the policy being pursued and stating that defense commitments are taken seriously.
This debate reflects the growing tensions around military budgets in Europe, in an international context marked by persistent conflicts and geopolitical uncertainties, pushing several countries to strengthen their defense capabilities.
