I think he knows the end* is drawing near and he hasn't got long to cement his legacy in painting more of the map in his colours. * 'end' being anything from nature's course, to losing the support of his own inner core as they jostle for succession, upcoming midterms leading to impeachment...

Do you think we didn't invest in our defence? Here in Sweden we put in 5% of GDP until the Soviet Union dissolved.
