It has taken three years, but Europe is at last putting its collective economy on an industrial war footing. The sums of money are eye-watering. […]
“It is becoming obvious to everybody that defense spending is the way to offset job losses in the car industry,” said Holger Schmieding, the chief economist at Berenberg Bank. […]
If enacted on anything close to this scale, such a high-octane blast of military Keynesianism will entirely change the economic and geopolitical shape of the world. It is the coming boom in Europe that we should all be betting on.
Bavaria’s premier Markus Söder is the weather-vane of our times, leading the call for a full-blown revival of German military power along with a joint nuclear deterrent in concert with France and the UK.
“We need a drone force of 100,000 drones, 800 new tanks, 2,000 Patriot missiles and 1,000 Taurus just for Germany as a protective shield like the ‘Iron Dome’. Only the strong will be taken seriously,” he said. […]
The coalition of the willing will have to rearm mostly outside the EU structure given the vetoes of Hungary and the Russophile bloc.
Joint debt issuance is needed to shield high-debt states from a bond market attack but this can be done through a new agency akin to development banks, and should include the UK, Norway and Canada. …

It’s been so long now I don’t even remember if I came up with it myself or borrowed it from someone else! All I do know is that I found it so funny that I never forgot it.
With what power source?
Their demand for net zero is already shut down major manufacturers.
Are those Euroweenies going to cancel their obsession with climate change?
Y’all ain’t done a darn thing other than mock the US as it solves your problems.
Then we get mocked for it.
It’s simple.
Your countries are over run with immigrants who hate your culture with every fiber of 5heir being and y’all let them run amok.
You have mostly beta males.
You don’t have the energy sources because y’all believe in climate change BS.
You don’t have initiative.
Your male youth doesnt have any pride in their own country, why would they when they are blamed for everything.
The former Soviet states bloc have already told the EU to go eff themselves if they even think of using them as a staging area for attacks against Russia.
It ain’t sunshine and roses in the EU block or they would let Hungary continue to vote.
A rather disconnected rant.
In my merchant of death days I helped provide quite a few Army (but mainly USN and USAF) systems. Especially if you could hang them on a helicopter. Just trying to make a connection here.
And you haven’t a clue of what we are talking about.
“y’all believe in climate change BS.”
I was active pals with John McCarthy of Stanford (inventor of AI, he, nice guy, gave me his LISP compiler). His actual big thing late in life was being pro-nuke. Did he get any help from an army of ScrappyArmyMom’s? Nope. Nada. Do you credit France for having a fully built out nuke infrastructure? Neither.
You are a horrible liar. You don’t believe what you say you believe because you don’t bother to think. You just want to bite and scratch, because THAT pleases you.
They can have a reunion tank battle at Kursk
“With what power source?”
Coal. Then nuke, when they get that back online. And the problem case here is just Germany.
“net zero is already shut down major manufacturers.’
Net Zero is dead. Now they have to invest in getting everything back. That was part of the German finance law.
“Euroweenies going to cancel their obsession with climate change?” That was the Germans. And consider it cancelled -33 seats.
Europe does not have the army and navy and air force as before. They may spend money to launder it thru Ukraine but I do not see them sending troops over there. The combines armies are smaller then Ukraine.
Not only that but as soon as thousands of dead soldiers come home in body bags all “stand with Ukraine “ crowd will quickly rethink their position
“is going to turn the world upside down”
Pocket shaking
Europe's white population is getting tinier while its islamofascist population grows with each passing day.
I don’t know whether you support the population I mentioned or prefer them weak and vulnerable.
Europeans are what they are. My preferences are immaterial, but then, I'm American. If you're a European, that's your problem.
You don’t say anything but you sure seem snotty about everything.
You seem upset.
Read the post, it accurately pointed out that you are upset, and for some reason determined to be purely nasty and ill-tempered without actually saying anything of meaning.
Read it yourself. You’re upset that I’m not upset. Not my problem. Have a nice day.
LOL, no I’m puzzled as to why you want to post nothing but nasty nothings.
The countries of the European continent have ceeded their collective fate to the elites and globalists. They firce feed marxism, a disenfranchment of their own cultures, and divided by race and gender of which both are a unnatural phenomenon.
The political class are comfortable andvtheir socialist democracy fellow citizens are a nuisance to them. They want a war to further rid themselves of the poor unfortunate people.
Our ekites today believe they do not need or want the people on the planet and they can enjoy the rest of the planet for themselves.
Their generation only manipulated the wealth built up and they want to destroy all but themselves.
Their lands, freed from God, have no hope of a better life for the millions. They are neither desirable or necessary to the EU elites.
So what do they need the second day of war when their enemy still exist? The leaders and decision makers of humanity should be the population’s collective target for elimination.
The people could build a nice plant to live on without profiteers forcing their wars.
