Here here. We need to standardise as much equipment as possible, but have multiple countries across Europe, making the same equipment to help with development as well as keeping the costs down rather than all coming from just one supplier that can monopolise it.

Yep. We can’t just put up a wall against Russia and just leave them on the outside. We did that before and it just meant the Russians/USSR were free to do whatever they wanted within their own territory and created a line of fear on both sides as to what would happen next. Let alone setting back humanities development and the fight against climate change when we need to be all working together. Not something Russia can do in its current state when their involvement is critical. It will cost lives, but it is better to just get it out of the way now and actually deal with this head on rather than just putting up another Iron Curtain. We neeeed to fight, or one way or another, we’re screwed.

This definitely needs to be done. Multiple different range layers of defence is key both for development and costs as well as efficiency. Diversity of course within the defence sector is key. Having multiple contractors making the same components and weapons. Both in the US and Europe will be important to not only encourage development but also keep the costs down. This is something we have forgotten for the past 30 years and needs to return ASAP.
