NATO spending by country per capita: Top 15 Countries

6 comments

1. From March 2024 List of top defense spending in NATO countries after new record of $2.2 Trillion, triggered by Russian invasion.

2. I was wondering if someone can explain this to me, is NATO 2% of per capita spent on defense largely to appease US by purchasing from their American arms manufacturing companies? Is that why Trump has been so vocal about other members fulfilling their 2% obligation?

3. Holy shit this article is aids. It gives you 15-6, then makes you click through a garbage ad-ridden slideshow. Here are the top 5 with per capita spending so no one has to deal with that.

   # 5. United Kingdom $965

   # 4. Denmark $1000

   # 3. Finland $1153

   # 2. Norway $1339

   # 1. United States $2220

   Might also be worth mentioning that per capita is a trash metric because it doesn’t take into account median gdp per country. Russian per capita spending is only $329.5 but compared to the average salary this is massive.

4. These End-Of-Year Lists are really getting out of hand.

5. While spending per capita or GDP ratios are decent KPIs, I feel we lose something a good bit of nuance by focusing on these numbers. In fact, it encourages leaders to spend on frivolous military spending

6. That website should be forever banned from every platform, goddamn that was a horrible experience.

   Felt like 2001 again and was about to get a load of viruses.
