Europe aims to ramp up weapons to help Ukraine defeat Russia
Europe aims to ramp up weapons to help Ukraine defeat Russia
Britain and other countries want to be able to support if Donald Trump wins the 2024 election and pulls US backing
The source added that the UK’s weapons stockpiles are so diminished that the UK had “nothing” left and it was better for them to lobby the Germans.

We are starting now? This late? To "aim to" ramp up?
Bit late I'd say.
15Donald Trump was the first US president to send weapons to Ukraine and every politician in the world knows this
10Sorry sweaty but that’s not the Atlantic Council approved narrative. Trump is a Putin puppet because pee pee tapes.
13Not an american here, but is it not the congress that allocates funds and the president only signs off on it? My understanding was that Trump tried to get a quid pro quo in order to follow it through.
5Biden is currently bypassing Congress to sell weapons to Israel, so no, Congress is not solely responsible for weapons sales. Trump did withhold lethal aid from Ukraine for quid pro quo. That was after the first ever sales of weapons though. So he both made the first sales and also did the witholding of additional sales some time later.

This is great and all, but ...the times? Aren't they a total trash/rag paper?
9In my mildly educated opinion, I wouldn't say so. The Sun, The Daily
HeilMail, and The Daily Mirror are rags. The Times has its issues, as any paper does, but I wouldn't call it a rag. It's a center right paper with high factual reporting.2
Well unless they've also invented a time machine to send those weapons back to like 1992...

3Really wish we wouldn't because that money could be used in our country. People duying on the street from cold, malnutrition, homelessness. But we're sending money to a country that's doomed to fail its war effort and last year vetod a very generous peace deal that Russia proposed. Screw that.
0last year vetod a very generous peace deal that Russia proposed.
Oh, you mean the "very generous peace deal" where Russia got to keep all the land it invaded, the children it stole, and the materials it looted - at least until they re-grouped their military and decided to take the next bite out of Ukraine? Fuck that "very generous peace deal".
1It's really only very generous if you're absolutely mentally handicapped. No sane person would take this deal
0And the deal will be much worse now with hundreds of thousands more people having died. All because imbeciles who didn't have to fight themselves kept repeating these psychotic points. Blood of hundreds of thousands is on the hands of people like you. You lot dragged this war out and caused incomprehensible misery all for nothing.

Pretty hilarious that the imbeciles running Europe think they can just create a whole military industrial complex out of whole cloth. These are the same kind of clowns who think that food just magically appears in the supermarket. They have no concept of logistics, supply chains, energy production, or a skilled work force required for such an endeavour. This is what happens when a bunch of media people start running countries. They just think everything is like a movie, and that they can just print weapons the way they print money. 🤣

i like tankies.

Anyone who aims to ramp up weapons is a thread for humanity
-11I'm sure Putin and his oligarchs are deeply concerned and would like to disarm any nazi you know of, especially if they reside in a Baltic or Slavic nation and hold state office.
Jokes aside, the fact remains: if Russia wins, you can expect weapons manufacturing to increase even more and that those supposed immovable borders promised with modernity start shifting again like "in the good old days".
Nobody wants a return to old Europe, especially Europeans.
