i'm glad the majority of Americans will never take us serious until we have built up enough militarily to deter the US.
dystopian but kino. cyber mommies alone would make it worthwhile though.
The 800 billion rearmament act which is continually being cut
nope, it passed. the money is through.
and has no real finances backing it
the EU economy isn't real?
as well as no plan forward for actual realized manufacturing for like 5 years at best.
plenty of hardware has already been acquired, factories are being built and expanded. EU is already in the process of re-arming. right now, not five years.
Same shit as their shell manufacturing growth and whatever
EU is currently supplying more shells than US to Ukraine.
Germany separately has deactivated the debt brake specifically to pump 900 billion Euros into defence and needed infrastructure. with the 200 billion from the previous years this makes a nifty ~1 trillion euros. we have been chronically under-spending so our economy can eat it (and NEEDS TO for fucks sake, the debt brake is retardation in its current form -- this will be great for our economy).
Canada can't stand up to the US militarily for sure, I agree.
as it's going, i can't see Ukraine entrusting themselves to the mercurial whims of the US. concessions like negotiating mineral deal and peace deals are at least as much stalling as actual will.
