Arrr, Secretary Rubio be spoutin' to me hearties o’ NATO, sayin’ they best be makin’ tough choices! He be callin’ fer a treasure haul of 5% more doubloons for defense, lest them scallywags grow bolder 'n sink their ships! Savvy, ye salty sea dogs?

Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn from the high seas of diplomacy! Our goodly Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, be shakin' his fist at the scallywag nations of NATO, demandin' they hoist their defense spendin' up to a hefty 5% of their treasure! Aye, he knows the landlubbers be fussin' over their social nets, but with a full-blown war brewin' in Europe’s belly, it be time to toughen up!

Rubio, speakin' at a grand parley in Brussels, proclaimed that all hands on deck be needed to meet this ambitious target. Currently, only a handful of the 32 NATO mates are spendin' over 3%—the likes of Poland and the U.S. lead the charge, while others—bless their souls—be laggin’ behind like a ship without sails! He be callin' for a realistic course to that elusive 5% gold standard, or risk bein' at the mercy of buccaneers like Russia and China!

With the U.S. already spendin’ nearly a trillion doubloons on defense, Rubio warns that unless all nations pitch in, we’ll all be feelin' the pinch! So, hoist yer flags and prepare to plunder those budgets, for the seas of security be callin' for a mighty swell! Arrr!
