French President Emmanuel Macron:
"Russia has produced a considerable war effort, with the result that Russia today invests 10% of its gross domestic product in arms production. In France, it's 2%. And we've almost doubled our budget since I've been here.

10 percent of 🇷🇺 gdp is about 200 billion.
10 percent of the gdp of the 🇪🇺 European Union would be about 2000 billion.
If Europe would invest 2%, we would double 🇷🇺's investment.
It means we for a period need to over invest to get to level.
Once level is reached e.g. 3-5 years we could likely return to under 3%.
But 🇷🇺 will be done long before - unless 🇪🇺 and 🇺🇲 let' s them off the hook.

In a hurry! No time to waste. Trump is going to withdraw from Europe and be out of NATO soon. Act now!
NATO can then be emptied for content.
If 🇺🇦 falls, Hungary and Slovakia would then be prime targets for 🇷🇺 expansion.....
It’s time for affirmative action to be taken, not more words.

They're in Putin's pocket, too.
Leave them to him.
And how much is 2% of French GDP?
France current GDP 3055 billion =
61.1 billion
Russia 2013 GDP 2021.42 billion =
20.2 billion
Mind, Russia's economic data is probably much less reliable than France's.
Blue sky really needs to add an editing post function!!!!
In 1936, Hitler offered to return to the League of Nations, to sign an air pact to outlaw bombing as a way of war, and a non-aggression pact with France if the other powers agreed to accept the remilitarization of Germany.
