  1. We as Europe are helping, and we´re increasing our production. But the problem is we started too fu**ing late. Production and procurement take time. Right now, Ukraine is kept alive partly by crowdfunding campaigns across Europe, especially crowdfunded drones. Drones for the rescue!

  2. Yeah, good point.

  3. 1) Proximity and some cultural similarities to Russia. Russian agents are trying to blow our ammunition warehouses up. It´s already happened in my country. The free movement is a problem, with Hungary letting Russians in. 2) Russian propaganda has much more effect in some European countries than it does in North America, because their cultures are slightly more similar to the Russian one, which makes it easier for the propaganda to get into people´s heads. It´s easier to persuade, say, Bulgarians that Russia is somehow friendly, when it has the same church and alphabet. 3) Smaller reserves (have already given a lot to Ukraine) and a delay in production increase. We might be able to stand on our feet in 2026 or 2027, when the new production lines are finished. 4) And let´s face it, the massive stocks of US nukes are a powerful deterrent. We can make our own nukes, but again - it will take time.
