With the new NATO '5% of GDP' standard the Dutch government just committed to spending 13% of the entire government budget on military and military-adjacent stuff*.

It seems most journalists just report the 5% and not many make this calculation to a percentage of the actual government budget.

How's this reported in your country?

edit: I've added a table with numbers for all NATO countries in a child post.
