Good, leave the US out of it. And while they are coughing up money, maybe they pay more for NATO and the cover of American military.

EU coughing up more money for their defense is a good thing.

“So, we off the hook then? “


No. The path in the USA will follow what Brandon did for Israel on artillery shells: use some emergency power to send them if Israel promises to pay.

So for Ukraine, send $60 billion and Ukraine uses AfterPay to fund it.

EU needs to do what needs to be done to continue the demilitarization of Russia. Bargain of a lifetime.

The Sovereign decides the state of exception.

And the EU ignores the rules when the rules limit them doing what they want.

Of course the rules are sacrosanct if the rules give them what they want.

Actually, Europe and USA are the ones that have become demilitarized. USA is low on artillery shells and uniforms. Bargain of a lifetime for Putin to see NATO countries sink lower and lower.

Ignoring their own laws is what the NWO countries do. They don’t let the law get in the way of what they want to do.

Happening right here in the US too by the RATS.

Viktor Orban actually seems to care about the people of his own country (contra the EU, which seems bent on importing the entirety of the world's impoverished into their own countries, displacing the natives); why do you disdain someone looking out for his own?

(Also, I've seen you mindlessly roll out "What [Insert Russia-related noun here] doink?" as a comment on over a hundred posts of yours by now. You sure you're not a bot? Because you just sound silly.)

Russia begging for Iranian drones and North Korean artillery shells is too funny.

The good news about the artillery shells is that 2 years ago we had one little factory producing a few shells for what was seen as no large need for any in the future, but this invasion has led to a boom in new machinery and new factories and remodels of old factories and huge new contracts and massively huge production numbers, not just in America but among many of our allies.

Hungary is the most corrupt country in the EU. Orban is a clown like Lukashenko.
