EU Defense and Space Commissioner Andrius Kubilius is pushing for nearly €100B in defense funding in the EU's next 7-year budget—up from just €10B today. He calls it "ambitious," but it's a sign of how Russia's war on Ukraine is reshaping EU priorities.

When we fight a russian's invasion, I want weapons and kit that works! These things are not cheap.
A frozen conflict is a very bad outcome for Europe.
Only the realization that cooperation achieves more than war and the collapse of the mafia leadership could turn russia into a good neighbor.
