That’s the big problem. You think this is not your war and it doesn’t matter to you, but the reality is that the outcome of this war will have grave consequences for the future of Europe.
For Europeans, this is not a random war happening on a differnt continent between regional actors. This is...
Yes, the big problem is that people have zero understanding of economics and numbers, and fall very easily for populist slogans from politicians. In the grand scheme of things, helping Ukraine is not very expensive, and it is spending that doesn’t cause inflation. On the other hand, what they...
I think that in countries like Hungary, Austria or Switzerland, they could be the majority. And not necessary because they love Russia, but because they like Putin and they hate the EU, NATO and the US (Except for Trump, which they adore).
Even in my country, which borders Ukraine and is in...
I’m takking about spending 0.3% of GDP, and you suggest giving 50% of my wage? Are you out of your mind?
Giving 0.3% of GDP doesn’t affect you at all, it is not the same as giving 50% of your earnings. Even credit card fees when you pay with your Visa are higher than 0.3%.
I’m advocating for a...
That’s exactly where my problem is with the West. It’s insanity that a nonsense like Covid was considered an existential threat, while a war with Russia is seen as a non-issue.
If you can spend one trillion dollars for a coronavirus, you should have no problem spending 5 trillion dollars for a...
You made my point. The cost of paying the Ukrainian army like humans (not enslaving them by force) would be around 80 billion per year. The GDP of the US plus the EU is 50 trillion. $80 billion per year is only 0.16% of that. If we add $70 billion per year in equipment, weapons and ammunition...
No, that is what the IDF is doing. What Hamas did is a similar attack but at a much smaller and shorter scale, because of its limited capabilities. That attack is what started the current conflict and led to the current massacre.
Hamas leaders knew very well that Israel will retaliate after...
No, I am not supporting genocide, and I am not supporting Israel in this war. But I am also not supporting Hamas, who is the party that started this current brutal phase of the war.
If Hamas did’t commit that stupid and useless attack, you wouldn’t have the current genocide. So they are equally...
I am not denying the fact that Ukraine has a manpower problem, and needs more personnel. What bothers me is the way this guy expressed himself, insinuating that the West is all-in but Ukraine is not, which cannot be further from the truth.
Ukraine’s effort is much bigger than the West’s effort...
Your love for terrorists is disgusting. The death and suffering of the Palestinian people is because of what Hamas did, and yet you praise these terrorists as some great heroes. Tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians have died because of Hamas, and the rest live in poverty and have lost...
This is because they fail to understand how much different the situation is now, than during the times they fougt their last war using drafted people.
The last time Americans used mobilized soldiers was in Vietnam, and guess how that war ended? They lost because the people were no longer...
What a disgusting scum this guy is. In his hypocrisy, he considers the West giving some excess weapons to Ukraine as being “all-in”, and this to be the equivalent of calling up all young males to die at the frontline.
If he wants Ukraine to be “all-in”, what about the West joining the war with...
I have seen the video of the meeting, and even I, as a European, I feel that the German minister was the unprofessional character. She was dressed as if she was going to the minimarket to buy some groceries, despite the fact that all the other people there were dressed like state officials...
After the US defeated Saddam, it turned out that the big victor in Iraq was Iran.
The US seems to have learned from that mistake, and instead of overthrowing Assad themselves, they waited in the shadows ready to defend their inteests through a proxy group and win the aftermath.
I think that...
I‘d say this depends greatly of which aviation we’re talking about. If a country like the US or Israel uses its aviation, the effectiveness of air defence will be zero. But for most countries which have average aviation capabilities, air defence does play a role.
The fact that Russia couldn’t...
Well, those who support Gaza and the Palestinians in the West are the hard left people, so it is natural for them to also support the Marxists/Communists from PKK.
They support all Marxists everywhere, and they oppose what they call “imperialism”. In their world view, Israel and Turkey are both...
Why is everyone so obsessed with AD systems? Unless you are part of NATO or Israel, investing in AD systems is a huge waste of money and resources.
If you are attacked by the US or Israel, your AD systems will get annihilated quickly without being able to defend a single target.
In the case of...
