    Thanks for this post. It’s crazy seeing every fucking politician in the EU clapping for increased military expenditure

        Have you seen Rutte kissing Trump’s ass? The EU isn’t getting independent from US, it’s precisely Trump, through NATO, who’s pushing for the 5% number.

        Sure buddy, this time the EU military budget will be used to “defend itself” and not to bomb brown children like the past 30 years.

          It’s always going to be used to bomb brown children.

          But at least we can fund local manufacturers.

            How can you say that with a straight face? “At least it’s our bombs that will murder brown children”. If you agree that the west will always bomb brown children, you surely support the dismantling of western governments as we know them?

      It’s almost like there’s a large-scale war going on nearby for the first time in decades, or something

        So, how about we try and pacify Europe instead of covering Rheinmetall in gold and submitting to Trump’s desire of 5% GDP for NATO?
