EU has depleted its military stockpiles by providing weapons to Ukraine

Excellent!

It'll be less likely that the EU will use those weapons on their own populations who object to Freezing and Starving in the Dark.

Sucks to be in the EU.

Given that they are de-industrializing, no more bullets for you.

I see this as the EU sent old equipment to Ukraine and that equipment has decimated the Russian military. The inventories can now be refreshed with new more advanced / better equipment.

Really? Because if you google Josep Borell Fontelles and find his twitter feed, he is talking about increasing support for Ukraine.

Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF · Dec 12
EU official.
The EU remains committed to provide military support to #Ukraine and other partners alike.
We are increasing today the financial ceiling of the European Peace Facility #EPF by €2 billion in 2023.

It’s almost as if they spent no money of their militaries, but on their social programs because some chump was their free military force for them...

I would not say it is over but the fat lady is standing up ready to sing.

The next move is for pig face bidets cabal to send in US troops directly into the front lines.

The chance for a cease fire has long passed.

Person I know in Austria has indicated a very large surge of refugees into parts of Europe.
I would not go to certain towns/parts of Europe as an American right now. Not really safe for Americans.

I understand that London has been on the receiving end of a rather nice snow storm. So weather is going to ramp up the hate towards those they will blame...and Russia has the fuel to provide for comfort and the American administration is being seen as standing in the way of that.

All paid originally by the US and will be replenished by the US. If we were smart, we’d cut them off, let Europe defend themselves.

We are almost a decade behind in restocking our weapons as they disappear into the Ukraine woodwork. I hate paying for crap twice while leaving our military short-supplied.

The Federal Reserve will print money, so they and banks can buy US government debt, which Fed.gov will hand over to US arms makers, so they can manufacture expensive weapons, which will be available in 3 years.

Europe has significantly depleted a few categories of weapons stockpiles, but the threat those stockpiles were meant to defend against no longer exists. Russia’s situation is no better than Europe’s.

And it’s not like this is a surprise. UK and France ran out of bombs when they assumed responsibility for the air campaign in Libya just a decade ago. If you don’t have the ordinance to bomb Libya for a couple months, what the hell are you going to use against Russia? NATO’s vast aviation advantage over Russia only works if you have the ordinance to hang from the wings of those aircraft.

Only over the past couple years has Europe started increasing spending on weapons, but they still hadn’t embraced the possibility of an artillery heavy ground war. Only now are they rushing to fill that void. They should have listened to Trump. Hell, it was so obvious that even Obama warned them. Of course, even if they HAD listened, they would have invested in higher end weapons that they wouldn’t provide to Ukraine, so it wouldn’t have made much difference. They needed this wake up call.
