Hope you can learn from this when it’s all said and done.

it could finally be a push to a more cohesive EU-defence policy that is not dependant on US logistics and firepower.

I think the main reason why the EU doesn’t care much about defense is that their people don’t “value” war as much as other nations.

They live comfortably. They have their social services. Life is pretty good, for the most part.

Trying to convince them to go die in a war isn’t going to be very popular. I genuinely believe the Western world is in for a rude awakening when an actual conflict breaks out.

It’s not just logistics. These are people’s lives.

Just about any nation would take over the world if they could.

Well, that’s what it’s going to take.

We can’t just funnel money to the MIC all day and expect things to work out. People need to be willing to die for what they believe in.

Why was this removed?

What dumb game? Where I point out how you fell for propaganda before and then you get mad and say I love putin or something?

This just further proves my point about you being propagandized.

Did you also think Ukraine was going to retake Crimea?

What do you mean “more easily attacked”?

Ukraine losing the war means it’s no longer a sovereign state.

You != Everyone else

Ukraine is still in it, they are holding of the invading army, which has in the last year only managed to occupy less than a percent of Ukraine and even that has largely stopped. At this rate, if Russia could keep it up, they couldn’t achieve their claimed goals for decades. And there are all the reasons to claim they won’t be able to keep it up.

Yeah, you’ve been propagandized hard.

I see those few downvotes, but I agree with you.

Unchecked stupidity is dangerous, and even deadly as we see evident right here.

These people should not be allowed to make decisions for others.

This is why it’s easier to fool someone than to convince them they’d been fooled.

They don’t want to admit they were wrong and taken for a ride. It’s embarrassing, it’s humiliating. They would rather carry their misconceptions to the grave than admit they are incorrect.

It’s a vicious cycle that at least 30% of Americans are going through.

Most that I know are pretty scientific and well-educated.

Then why are they mennonites?

Texans are a whole 'nother breed of stupidity.

It’s impressive how proud they are of it. And scary.

We should move towards direct voting.

You’re too far gone.

is because of the greedy and entitled ANC run government.

That government has a constituency that keeps them in power.

I’m not a soldier at all.

I’m in the nation with the strongest military on the planet. You’re the one who’s trying to step up and pretend canada has a snowball’s chance in hell at contending with the US in a real armed conflict.

Sigh.

No, but they could buy food and farming equipment with the proceeds from selling these cars. It was an opportunity to redistribute wealth.

Now it’s just a waste.
