EU leaders have announced their intention to collectively rearm and become autonomous in food, energy and military hardware in a Versailles declaration that described Russia’s war as “a tectonic shift in European history”.
At a summit in the former royal palace, the 27 heads of state and government said on Friday that the invasion of Ukraine had shown the urgent need for the EU to take responsibility for its own security and to rid itself of dependencies on others.

Too bad these EU "leaders" didn't previously see the need to be proactive regarding much of what they now realize what must be done. Are these inherently difficult things to understand (self-defense, food and energy independence, and so on)? No, they are quite obvious, or used to be. Trump took them to task about these matters, but of course Trump was an idiot who was basically viewed as a court jester. Imagine if Russia had attacked Western Europe rather than Ukraine, while somehow keeping the US out of it (maybe with China's help)! Pity the typical European who has put his well-being, finances, and future in the hands of these fucktards. Prediction: they haven't learned shit, and will fall back into their old ways as soon as possible. The US isn't much better off (think of our crumbling infrastructure, loose immigration policies, and government corruption to name but a few examples).
7 lines above are written. The author uses the words idiot, fucktard and shit. The cuss words are used as intensifiers and to show disdain. They are absolutely necessary. The comment above (11:22) is direct, logical and truthful. It needs to be heard. It won't be.
Fuck is a obscene English-language word. It often refers to the act of sexual intercourse, but is also commonly *** used as an intensifier or to convey disdain ***.

Looks like reality is forcing decades of liberal hivemind pacifism and "free" healthcare and college to come to an end. The US saved Europe in WW2 and pampered it for decades at a total net loss to the US, and they cant even contribute their agreed 2% GDP to NATO. Functionally Useless alliance, but at least the champaign socialists get to LARP for change and cheers eachother at their $25K dinner parties. Fuck these people.
We are allied with European nations for democracy. Don't like it---move to a nation that you like
Trump tried to undo NATO. He denied weapons to Ukraine and that is why he was impeached. Russia did as much and took a much greater death toll for saving Europe. Now Russia is a dictatorship.
