Okay so what is the deal with EU intelligence agencies warning about Russia attacking NATO in a few years?
Sure Russia might have better drones and more men overall but at this point the war has burned through so much of their equipment that they will not recover for a long time. If they are running out of tanks, how can they threaten an attack a few years from now on?
I'm thinking that the states and media in Europe are slowly trying to acclimate the people to higher military spending (and eventual social cuts that it entails) because they still refuse to confront the reality that they are stuck between roostering for the US and making the painful political reforms and sovereignty sacrifices for an effective EU-level defense not dependent on the US.
