Former NATO Chief Robertson Urges UK to Prioritize Defense Over Welfare Spending
Former NATO Secretary General George Robertson has called on the British government to prioritize defense spending over welfare, arguing that government responsibility for population safety must come first. Speaking at a parliamentary committee, Robertson warned that the UK's welfare budget is five times larger than defense spending and criticized the government for not investing enough in rearmament. He was an author of last summer's 114-page defense review outlining threats to UK Armed Forces.
