Orbán is a highly problematic individual. His statement about Ukraine is most unwise. However, the fuller quote (at least as reported by Euractiv) has a very different flavour from the truncated version:

The Kinnock-Hattersley sketch:
Since the “debate” about the UK’s fiscal position seems to be hotting up again, with an apparent assumption that, somehow, not running budget surpluses to “balance the budget” over the ”economic cycle” is a problem, let’s just remind ourselves of what the last three centuries have looked like.
Hmm.

The Home Secretary has made clear she has far more evidence than that - as summarised in this extract ⬇️ from her statement to the House of Commons about the draft proscription order.

You don’t agree with the Home Secretary about the nature of Palestine Action and the threat it poses to UK national security?
Or you do, but nonetheless think police intervention of the sort described in the Guardian article is “an absolute waste of time and resources”?

Yes.
But that doesn’t (and nor does Woerner, to be fair to him) explain this ⬇️
(Not making a point about Germany in particular. Numerous NATO countries showed a similar trend, & all - except the USA itself &, briefly, Greece & Turkey - spending consistently less as % of GDP than the USA).

I wouldn’t look at it quite that way. During Manfred Woerner’s time as defence minister, (West) German defence expenditure declined as a % of GDP. (Even more steeply once he went to NATO). Didn’t cause him to be a bad NATO SG. “Learning Russian” is rhetorically weak, the underlying point is sound.
