The general rule of transparency is to make you look good and strong, not like a feeble-minded limp dick.

    Sure, I’m not saying they’re doing nothing at all. But are they doing enough to replace the resources and manpower historically provided by the US in these kinds of situations? I don’t think so. Is there a politically viable path for the EU to get to that point? That remains to be seen.

      I guess nothing is certain until it happens, but I really don’t think you understand what they’re doing over there

      They basically opened up the Treasury and said “tell us what you need to produce weapons and we’ll figure out the money later”. They’re rearming Germany and a few countries are talking boots on the ground in Ukraine

      They’re turning the war machine on for Ukraine as a bulwark. They’re really not holding back

        It’s certainly possible that I have missed some news on the subject but last I heard they had not matched the aid that was being provided under the Biden administration. I hope you are right and that has changed.
