European Union states should buy arms jointly to replenish stocks after supplying Ukraine, said the bloc's defence agency, warning the United States may not always be able to shield Europe from threats.

    They just might, though, depending on the spin. History is a spiral. There’s a technique that’s been used since the Roman Republic at least.

    1. Crash whatever social safety the exploited classes had and increase the flow of wealth upward
    2. Offer various goodies and bonuses for joining the military
    3. Send them somewhere far to defend the interests of the ruling class

    That’s how the legions did it. That’s how USA does it. That’s what the Russian government been attempting for some time.

      I think that’s definitely the plan and a lot of Europeans have been brainwashed to go along with it. Just look at people like @Kulun@mander.xyz as an example. That guy would die for his NATO masters if they told him to.

        I don’t even live in a NATO country, unlike you, who is supporting NATO with your taxes, right?
