@mukamuka0 From here (EU) it doesn`t seem to be to much difference between the CCCP, the republicans and the democrats......indeed, right now the CCCP appears to be more polite. Of course, the want to f*ck us, too. But at least they have the decency to invite us to a fancy dinner and whisper some sweet words in our ears.......

@sylvaincroissant7650 They are also investing in south korrean military gear. South Korea has the advantage that they partner with you, and allow you to produce the stuff you "buy" them under license in your country (you ensure production, knowledge and access to spare parts). And yes, in the EU we have some fancy stuff, sometimes even better than that from the US. The problem is that we can`t produce the reauired amount of weapons in the required amount of time. I am sure that the Poles would have prefered to buy Leopards instead of Abrahams and K-2s, but with their current production falcilities it would have taken Rheinmetal a decade or more to supply the tanks in the required cuantity. Us and South Korea can provide the tanks in a fraction of that time....... We need to ramp up out production capacities, if we want to be able to arm ourselves withour having to buy outside.....
