as of right now everyone pretty much seems to have their defence spending on track.
The average of the european members + canada is now firmly above the 2% agreement and the only country that I can't find numbers on (but seems to not be meeting the goal?) is iceland.
I think what he was trying to say, or at least should be trying to say is “you must be fun at parties.” That is, you are specifically OBLIGATED to be fun at them.
My party crew has a very strict fun enforcer. “Dancing is compulsory” was a sign they took to our most recent gathering. It was very good and lots of dancing was done.
the joke is inherently political, it also doesn't make actual sense as it is based on misinformation. if you can enjoy it regardless of that, surely you can enjoy it regardless of my comment.
in any way badgering me about it is not gonna achieve anything. throwing insult after insult while i have been pretty cordial this whole time is not exactly a shining personality trait either.
Jokes don't have to be true to be funny. While many truths are said in jest, not all jests need be true. The correction was unnecessary and added nothing to the joke. In fact, it was a blatant attempt to ruin the joke and to ruin the fun.

They could afford five if everyone got their defence spending on track
edit: I half considered not posting this as I knew someone would take it far too seriously. I'm just a cheeky Brit making a joke
