Ex-NATO Chief Demands Billions, But Is UK Strategy Broken?

A former NATO leader has accused the UK Prime Minister of "corrosive complacency" on defence. His demand for billions in new military spending made headlines. Yet experts say the real question is not how much to spend, but what the money is for. Lord George Robertson authored the government's own defence review. He wants the UK to commit huge funds to act as America's closest ally, like "Robin to America's Batman." However, this assumes the current global military strategy is correct. That assumption is now under pressure. Donald Trump's potential return to the White House raises hard questions. His past threats over territories like Greenland and shifting positions on international deals show the risks of relying on a single ally. Critics argue the UK must redefine its role before spending more. The claimed £28 billion funding gap might not mean too little cash. It could mean the country is trying to do too much. The debate is no longer just about money, but about purpose.
