Yes it is. You lied above.

Nope, didn't lie. Everything I said was true

So what you're saying is it's even LESS mandatory than what I said.

What? Are you trying to prove my point or argue it?

You apparently missed the AIM part that i italicized

Official document say that they "AIM to increase it to 2% within the next decade".

AIM just in case you missed it again.

Aka

"We're working on it. We will be done by 2024. But no promises"

This is a reference to my earlier post, where I said

The countries originally agreed to it but then refused to actually contribute all of it under the guise of "we're working on it". Everytime the USA tried to bring it up, they got the same response.

Once again the response was "we're working on it." But this time they added "We will be done by 2024. But no promises".

I'm just repeating this incase it wasn't clear to you

but no promises

Uhhh...that's what I said. Increase it to 2% within a decade (by 2024).

What I wrote and what you wrote are completely different. The official document on ask them to TRY(important incase you missed it again).

What this means is that they can easily spend an additional .01% GDP and still be below 2% and say "we tried" in 2024. Because it's true, they tried.

And Yes, your original statement was misleading because originally left out the AIM(once again, incase you missed it).

You created a false impression that those countries HAVE to raise it to 2%,

But in reality, they only have to TRY. Once again, if they raised it by 0.01% GDP, then they can legitimately say that they tried.

Don't forget, These are very important legal documents, although it's a non-binding agreement, its wording in VERY important.
