Europe preps huge defense package in boost to Ukraine: "Never been seen"
-
Because of this:
Every single European country with a shared border with Russia has mandatory military service (that red exception on the map is Latvia, which also reinstated it in 2024). This is how much Russia is trusted.
-
When you examine the US auto manufacturers, they have nothing to offer for the majority of consumers in the EU.
Yeah, they've shot themselves entirely in the foot. Used to be every other car was a Ford Sierra, then later Ford Mondeo... Opel was pretty big, but GM sold them so now it's a Stellantis brand and Stellantis is more French/Italian than American...
Still, there's market for muscle cars and trucks. And Teslas in recent history, but probably no longer.

The same thing every other country does with nukes.
-
Genocide?
-
Oh, thanks for the heads up. That's good to know.
-
That's true. Much like Brexit in the UK stopped other countries' appetite for their own brexits.
-
The Greens in Baden-Württemberg are to the right of the CDU in Schleswig-Holstein. The Greens aren't a left-wing party as such, they're liberals. Not neolibs but soclibs but liberals nontheless, and the CDU is perfectly capable of getting into coalitions with the SPD which is to the left of that. Well, at least on paper.
-
Europe will likely have to spend double the rumored 700 billion to achieve something credible.
So, what you're saying is that this spending package for defense is NonCredible?
-
Is that a serious point you're trying to make?
-
I thought you put it together already. Hamas' willingness to sacrifice Palestinians is only second to IDF. They'd drop that bomb without hesitation if that meant the final defeat of Israel.
-
I think your analysis might be the silliest thing I've ever seen. A nuclear bomb in both nations' hands is the only thing that is going to end this war. It's called 'Mutually-Assured Destruction'.
But thank you for response.
-
Because they didn't need to. As long as the United States was spending money on their truly vast military and was using that military capacity to defend Ukraine there was no requirement for any other the country do anything.
Now that the US has decided to become a pawn of Russia, it has become important.
-
Some of the most iconic and renowned weapons of the 20th and 21st centuries were made by European countries. HK is a German company for example.
-
Trump could literally start world war 3 and his supporters would still back him.
-
In the UK the parties and the politicians who pushed for brexit are now having serious problems because they can't justify it. The vast majority of people who supported it now think it was a disaster.
-
They did need to. Ukraine is losing the war bigtime. They needed more weapons at the start before Russia ramped up production.
If Europe sent the weapons at the start they could have broken the stalemate. Filling the American deficit does nothing to help Ukraine win.
-
the only thing that is going to end this war. It’s called ‘Mutually-Assured Destruction’.
The IDF wouldn't drop a bomb on their own citizens because their prime ideology is jewish supremacy, plus they have the military might without it. Hamas, OTOH would have no qualms about it. I can't figure out if you are sarcastic here, but mutual destruction is exactly what would happen, so if you're saying that nuclear annihilation is the only way to stop this war, then you might be right, but generally that's the least favorable outcome.

Zut alors! Vastly outclassed by France, Scheiße!
-
Russia only cares about Moscow and st Petersburg. Britain and France have more than enough to turn those two cities into glowing glass craters.
-
What the tech Bros think they're heading for is nazi Germany. But don't forget they're in bed with the fundamentalists. You're actually looking at a Christian version of modern day Iran. Once musk and trump have exerted control over the population, they'll be "taken care of" and you'll get Vance for the next 11 years.
