At this moment, the Russian military is very weakened. Europe doesn't have overwhelming force but could easily kick Russia out of Ukraine. (Except it won't for political reasons.)
- wolvesechoes 2y agoYes, it is very weakened, but the rest of your post... Sorry, but it is the same kind of hopium that people keep overdosing since 2022.
- pastage 2y agoIt is easy to talk about war, Europe would win the battle for Ukraine if they entered the war, no doubt about it. What that means for the EU politically makes an intervention in Ukraine a pipedream.
- wolvesechoes 2y agohttps://www.bruegel.org/analysis/defending-europe-without-us-first-estimates-what-needed https://www.bruegel.org/analysis/defending-europe-without-us... Well, seems like some in Europe have doubts about it.
- pastage 2y agoI lived when the defense industry got money during the cold war, of course they need more money to win and obviously they will do everything they can to get more funding.
- dmix 2y agoNothing in war is easy. It would be very dangerous and costly even if winning is likely.
- actionfromafar 2y agoNot easy path. Easy outcome. If you think winning will dangerous and costly, guess how dangerous and costly losing will be.
