lol whyyy Ukraine's cooked why are we shoving more public funds up the US' ass?

Pretty sure US weapons sales in EU countriea are coming to a predictable end...

Oh, the sweet symphony of another "aid package" headline from propaganda outlets. Let me guess—heroic Europe rides in to save the day with a number so comically large it’s practically abstract. Seven hundred billion? Might as well add a few more zeros while we’re at it. Theatrics for the spreadsheet gods.

But where does this money even come from? The same crumbling healthcare systems and underpaid teachers? The same austerity playbook that grinds workers into dust? No—magic numbers materialize when oligarchs need new markets for their defense portfolios.

Democracy’s a rigged roulette wheel. Capital’s only loyalty is to its own expansion. This isn’t solidarity—it’s a fire sale. Future generations indentured for geopolitical chess moves masked as benevolence. The war machine’s supply chain demands fresh meat, and we’re all just fuel for the furnace.

ironic that you can be so anti-capitalist that you turn fascist like this.

found another fascist.

That dude posts so much so frequently, it's extremely fishy

Totally, and always the same long not engaging statements. I'd even prefer random adverts at this point, which I normally block.

The reality that Ukraine is cooked for the next several decades by any sensible metric is independent of any ideology, it's just fact. It's over, it's done, Russia will get what they want and the US will get a neocolony, aka what they want.

The only thing I don't get is why we still finance lockheed martin? jk I think I have an idea for why UVDL is still hellbent on getting as much as possible out of public coffers and into the hands of foreign private investors.

all the more baffling why we would buy more so close to the end, no?

Imagine spending 700 billions in useful things and not to fight a proxy war against russia.

Anyone downvoting should pack his bags and join the front because ukraine is running out of men

Oh, the irony. You’re here, cheerleading for conscription from the comfort of your keyboard, while accusing others of armchair opinions. If Ukraine’s running out of men, maybe it’s time to question why this proxy war keeps demanding human sacrifices instead of solutions.

Blind allegiance to this endless cycle of funding and fighting doesn’t make you noble—it makes you complicit. Pack your own bags if you’re so invested, but don’t expect others to march for a game they didn’t sign up to play.

Don't forget to save some for the war against America.

Lemmy feels increasingly filled with AI bots pushing pro-Russian anti EU narratives.

Production isn't were it's supposed to be because there hasn't yet been enough time to build more production capacity hardware (factories, specialist workers, logistical systems etc...). It's unfortunate right now, the US has already all that.

we're pinched for energy and dependent on the US for it unless we diversify our imports (russia) or produce our own (nuclear). Particularly for the production of steel.

Whats even harder to fix is the brain-drain with most academics leaving for US or China where the major research is happening

Yeah, imagine ignoring the aggressor next to you in order to by nice things.

Well, Ukraine quite recently rejected Trump's neocolonial proposal.

Which, for some reason, Biden has forgotten to even send ...so maybe part of the US doesn't really want that kind of stuff. ¹

...and well, the title describes European countries rushing to turn the page on Trump - assemble about three times the resources the US has thrown in, worth about six or seven Russian defense budgets.

¹ IMHO, it's just that the US has so much power invested in one damn person and an electoral system that prevents diversity. Which is tragic.

Also interesting that they seem to not reply to any thing that might require a real discussion.

Yeah! Down with democracy! Bring back feudalism!
