Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

[contricusc]

Uhm??? Higher prices? Money going into Ukraine that should be used to improve the situation here? Energy crisis? Housing crisis? Are you living in a fairytale world? Oh I forget you don't even live here so you just assume.

What you’re mentioning has nothing to do with helping Ukraine and with a lack of money. It’s all related to bad strategic decisions.

Energy crisis? That’s self inflicted. Germany shutting down nuclear energy, lack of investment in North Sea oil because of an obsession with CO2 emissions and eco madness, windfall taxes on energy companies whenever they make a bigger profit (which results in less domestic investment), etc..

The constant war on local oil companies, while continuing to import oil and gas from Russia, is what brought Europe into this energy crisis you mentioned. And it is all the result of Russian interference into European politics through corrupt politicians (Schroder, Merkel) and ”green” NGOs pushing for the destruction of Europe’s energy companies. Russia has done everything it could to sabotage Europe’s energy indeoendence, to make it dependent on Russia imports. They did it because they wanted Europe to be afraid to interfere when they were going to invade Ukraine, Moldova and the Baltics, because of this vulnerability.

Russia is Europe’s enemy. It must be destroyed.

Housing crisis? That is the result of the lack of building permits coupled with the artificial influx of migrants. It is intentionally engineered in order to increase house prices and enrich landlords. Just like with energy, it is a self inflicted wound, that can be easily fixed, and it doesn’t require money to do it. Just smart policies.

European governments already have a lot of money on their hands. They command a huge percentage of GDP, more than anywhere else in the world. It is a disgrace that European militaries were caught off guard by Russia, considering the disproportionate amount of money that European governments have at their disposal compared to the rest of the world.

Europe needs to allocate more money to defense, and cut on social spending.

NATO countries (USA excluded) are expected to jointly announce a new $75 Billion usd military armament package for Ukraine during their July 7th-8th meeting in Ankara, Turkey . They will also pledge to match or surpass that support in 2027. The announcement is expected to be part of an even larger commitment to significantly ramp up NATO arms production to meet the new 3.5% of GDP target that has been agreed upon.

The $80 Billion package for Ukraine will be over and above the European Union's $105 Billion package that was recently announced. The new package will focus strictly on armament and ramoing up production of everything from drones to air defense missiles, long range artillery shells and standoff strike weapons.

With Ukraine back on the front foot in many areas of the front, NATO is finally seeing an opportunity to use their collective industrial power to out Russia is a really bad place.
