It is still spending more than most nato allies. currently, just nine of nato's 30 members spend at least 2% of their national income on their armed forces. britain is one of those countries. but after more than ten years of conservative leadership, defence spending in the uk has been declining — from 2.6% in 2010, now down to 2.2%. we will increase defense spending by a further £5 billion over the next two years. this will bring us to around 2.5% of national income and this will bring us to around 2.25% of national income and represents significant progress in meeting our long term minimum...

£5 billion over the next two years. this will bring us to around 2.5% of national income and this will bring us to around 2.25% of national income and represents significant progress in meeting our long term minimum defense spending target of 2.5% of gdp. the long term goal to spend 2.5% of gdp on defense sounds, i'm afraid, a little hollow promise. there's no plan and there's no timetable. most of the new money will go to the uk's nuclear submarine programme. it'll help the deal with australia counter the threat from china, but also sustain british jobs. many tory mps have been left disappoi...

To do this in the military arsenal. 65,000 feet is as high as the f-22 can go. we know this balloon was at 60,000 feet according to the pentagon. it is a very fast jet. it can go 2.25 mach, twice the speed of sound, 1,500 miles an hour. this balloon is hardly going that, maybe 60 or 80 miles an hour with the winds alostft at 60,000 feet. they just needed to wait, these fighter pilots, until the right moment when it got away from land and over the water off the coast of north carolina and south carolina. really interesting here that this is still over the territorial waters of the u.s. that end...
