“vigorous rearmament program would not only serve as Keynesian economic pump-priming but provide a project to focus energy and revive belief in Europe as a culture worth defending. “
I hope they do. They only have to hold on four years until we get a Democratic or Independent president back in office and Hitler is booted out on his ass (unless a medical event takes him before that). America will REVERSE all the bullshit and clean up the GOP shit show.....as usual.
The WM seems to think that the relationship between the EU and its member sovereign Nation States is just like that between the US Federal Government and its States and Territories.
But it is NOT.
The EU has no military capacity it does not have "the means".
Trump is holding Ukraine hostage in order for Russia to take it over.
Trump also is holding sanctuary cities hostage by withholding funds.
Welcome Trump's America.
US policy has been to provide protection to Europe. Such that each country does not need to defend itself.
US's self-interest is to keep each country week relative to US and inter-dependent. So that Europeans don't start fighting each other again and drag the US into another conflict.
That would have shocked us 6 weeks ago but not now -not even surprised. They've been heavily bombing Ukraine for the last 2 nights. Needless to say the shit about CONSIDERING tarrifs/sanctions was just to appease anyone who said he was taking Russias side. He is now actively fighting against Europe.
Sorry, what Arms deal? Nothing the Orange Rapist does shocks any of us now. Its unforgiveable what he's done to Ukraine. I just hope Europe can plug the intel gap soon. Its a pity we never got any notice that he was now on Russias side we could have planned better.

No question Lawrence but where will it leave you when Europe will opt against the F-35 and with UK struggling to get their Tridents serviced?
What we see in the last few days is a move to complete independence from the U.S.
