Europe Preps Huge Defense Package in Boost to Ukraine: 'Never Been Seen'
Media reports said as much as $700 billion could be allocated to Europe's defenses, though it was not clear how much of that amount would go to Kyiv.
This was in the side bar of that article.
What the fuck is this timeline?
Well to his credit he, as of now, still murdered less people than Kissinger.
Are they going to buy American weapons and send them to Ukraine? If so that would be a massive W for Trump and the military industrial complex.
They're just realizing that the gig is about to dry up, so they're doing one last round of embezzlement.
That is the only way, to tell Ukraine that it still has real allies, that as much as the USA withdraws, we will put in. Any other option is to be a whore and pay for the night.
I'm sorry, but it's obvious Zelenskyy does not give a flying fuck about Ukraine. All he cares about is planting those sweet NATO bases right at Russia's door, just like they agreed decades ago not to do. He is using his country as a killing field for the US to gain advantage over Russia. Not that Russia is an innocent lamb obviously either. Just... please read about the origins of this conflict and do not for a second buy into the 'Zelenskyy champion of anti-imperialism and democracy' rhetoric the EU loves to use. This is a lot more complex.
the more money they put in ukraine, the less people have spent in their territory, the more likely it will be for far-right, pro-russian politicians to get elected. putin is something of an evil genius.
When you get your political framework from marvel movies
@NightOwl@lemmy.ca LMAO With what weapons? Not going to happen.
You see, weapons do not grow on trees. Instead, you need to allocate resources, to either construct them yourself, or purchase them from other people who do. This is usually done with money.
Which won't happen overnight — Probably take a decade or more.
it sounds like they don't believe that they have a choice:
"European officials believe Trump is likely to agree to withdraw U.S. troops from the Baltics and perhaps further west, leaving the EU vulnerable to a Russian army that NATO governments warn is preparing for a larger conflict beyond Ukraine," the newspaper reported.
The EU leaders in Brussels are crazy! It'll be a self-fulfilling prophecy if they keep being belligerent towards Russia. The EU is a middle power at best. Russia doesn't need any more territory, nor does it want to occupy land in the eastern Baltic's. It's fearmongering for the EU to manufacture consent.
it's pure posturing
