They didnt even need to increase military spending that much. They had to be just smarter. EU army and pooling momey toghetor to that.

Make it clear. This army is for non EU invaders. They could have made one heck of fighting force and build up good domestic deffence industry.

Or EU nuke and ICBM.

We already saw it with Ukraine. Idiots driving over land mines with 50 million dollar tanks instead of clearing. Literally talking shit about Russians doing it than ran across mines with our gibs. Media blocked out images of all of our blown up tanks.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

The problem is momentum, if they stop to clear mines what's stopping a Russian drone from calling in a MLRS strike that'll wipe out the whole unit? Platforms capable of clearing drones around you in a large swath is crucial going forward in any land offensive, perhaps more than traditional SAM batteries were against ground attack aircraft even(which were always fewer in number). Mine clearing equipment mounted on vehicles being comparatively few could be taken out mid offensive and leave unit no choice but to press forward without.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Issue is ammount of equipment.

Mine clearing equipment is nice to have. But there are so few of them. Moment you move one of them. Enemy will know something wil go down and move their equipment.

You need enough equipment to spread enemeis out then hammer them in narrow point.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

It's called strategy. Every single army in history has to face adversity on the field. Shoot the fricking drones down, counter them. Do a hesitated pincer where one side moves slowly against the gains of the other. You don't throw your hands up and drive a fifty million dollar tank into a mine because thinking is hard.

Tbh entire offensive was r-slurred. They didn't have even close to forces necessary and it was most probably a purely political decision opposed by actual military brass. Pretty much everyone who isn't a NAFO shill had called its failure before it even began, even US high command wasn't particularly optimistic IIRC.

Actual French military doctrine since mid Cold War.

More precisely:

a) There's too many Russians, we cannot beat them (alone).

b) They have too many nukes, we cannot outnuke them

c) But we can ensure we can nuke Moscow and few other cities no matter what happens, making ourselves not worth the price.

On some levels, it seems like France is leading Europe where it counts. France can make its own electricity without oil. France can nuke whoever they want since they make everything they need to nuke people all on their own. France has an actual aircraft carrier and a generally functioning military industrial complex. Im impressed with their forward thinking and self reliance, it's extremely uneuropean.

Can't shake the feeling that they will just give up again, which makes all their preparations hilarious.

yes I think NATO might have been a bad idea in retrospect. It means they all have to operate as a single unit which makes smaller interventions almost impossible and massively increases the stakes.

It basically forces there to be a Cold War instead of cooling off in smaller direct conflicts. So anything in between the 2-3 military powers is a dangerous proxy war.

let Poland and France send ppl if they want without making Russian cruise missiles hitting them an act of war against the entire west

There were people making case after cold war to defunct NATO. Nato was there to counter soviet union and friends. After fall of soviet union. Whats the point.

Case was made for central/eastern european defence union safeguard against russia. Without west europe or US.

Basically those whos land war will be fought will join their hands.

It was shotdown and whole dance about how nato wont expand eastward deal was made.

Then Nato expanded eastward. What worse. Russia applied to join to nato. And if was shot down compleatly.

Now russia got confirmation. Nato was there to counter them. And it was creeping toward their borders.

This was great for US and their post cold war buisness. And probably would have been even better and longer if they were smarter.

We see outcome to europe now.

Also there was the US supporting Yeltsin in the 1996 election to stop commies from returning to power, even though Yeltsin was already widely seen as corrupt at that point.

Then there was the Kosovo War in 1999, which, whether you think it was right or wrong for NATO to do, really angered many Russians because Russians see Serbs as their little brothers.

Then there was the Iraq War in 2003 of course, which was basically the US saying "frick all of you, we do whatever we want".

Just a whole sequence of events that basically ended any chance of Russians viewing the US as a friend.

What were we getting in return for the "alliances"?

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Because the US is the only game in town, the world police with military bases in all of these allies:

  • Incredible access/opportunity for our wealthier investors/entrepreneurs, enriching themselves first, but some other americans too as well as driving prices down for goods

  • Influence over legislation and regulation. The US Gov has thrown its weight around both publicly and privately to make sure things go well for the US or its wealthy citizens interests. US corps get to throw their own weight around with a lot more impunity with US military being the unstated backer.

Think of it this way, you've heard the "allies" b-word about this or that for "the US wants to make us do something," but that's in the context of the general state of things for the last few decades being "you say jump, I say how high" as we repeatedly tell them to jump. You only hear about the failures, not the many, many successes. Unless it's a win-win situation you can shout from the rooftops, you just want it to happen quietly and then be forgotten.

Oh, and having military bases in 75% of nations means that they're all buffer zones and launching grounds for our military power. If we pull back completely, countries won't be okay with our bases. Maybe China would be willing to fill the void?

*US was always going to have trouble defending Taiwan given it's right next to China and the Chinese military is catching up to the US over time, especially now that it's fully re-emerging as a global industrialized player.

*It was never going to come to nukes. Nukes are only good as a threat, neither side even wants to think about actually using them. Both China and the US have been bluffing at each other for years to keep home interests happy and avoid conflict.

I suppose the worry is that we won't even try which means losing TSMC, still the center of the global chip trade, as well as making our regional allies, who are all scared of China, scared/mad enough to stop following the US (worse containment of China in the long term)

>He might demand an election

I wonder how these same people would react to the US going to war and Trump "temporarily" suspending American elections.

>The occupied territories

All's fair to the Ukrainians for not wanting to give them up, but the only way they're getting them back at this point is if the US rolls in and liberates them, which would cause more problems than it solves.

>Ukrainian Neutrality

1. People need to stop pretending like Ukraine is getting into NATO, someone was always going to veto it

2. There's no reason any of the European countries can't sign a mutual defense treaty with Ukraine outside of the framework of NATO, but they haven't and won't , because deep down they don't want to, they want the US to do it for them.

the Ukrainian revolution and NATO talks long predated Zelensky.

Neighbor, America can't do shit. Europe has a larger population and GDP than Russia. You guys can offer Ukraine military aid. And I mean actually sending it, rather than committing to do it and then not do it (see Figure 2 - Europe has committed to sending €34 billion more in aid than the US, but the US has actually send €2 billion more than Europe).
