Europe has a much larger military than Russia, it also spends far more money than Russia, even now when Russia has doubled or tripled it s defense budget Europe still spends more. Europe doesn't rely on USA for defence, USA maintains bases in Europe to maintain influence out of its own interests, not because Russia could win a war against Europe.

@ikiruyamamoto1050 There was no promise to spend 2%, that is from Trumps rear end, there was a 2% target that NATO countries agree to generally aim towards reaching by 2024 and the majority of them did.

@ikiruyamamoto1050 A. They have been, B. they wont need to Europe has spent 5 times more on defence than Russia for the past 30 years and maintains Both a larger and much more capable military than Russia. You people really seem to struggle with the difference between Europe only supplying surplus material to Ukraine and it not being enough versus whether Europe has a military to defend itself. Russia is not a conventional threat to Europe, it is a conventional threat to the Baltics if the rest of Europe choses not to intervene. When analysts and generals talk about Russia going for more of Europe after Ukraine they don't say Russia could invade the rest of Europe, they say Russia might try to take the Baltic states and hope the rest of Europe doesn't react.

@alexis1451 "It has the means" True that, in the sense that it already has a larger and far more capable military than Russia and has maintained 5 times more spending than Russia for 30 years.

@ikiruyamamoto1050 Why would Europe need to spend more? it already spent 5 times more than Russia for the past 30 years and maintains both a larger and more capable military.

@HappyDuude The 500 nukes France and Britain has wouldn't give Russia a pause before going to war with them? Are you good?

Been fun saying the same for the past 2-3 years and seeing everyone else agree that Ukraine would be forced to immediately surrender if Trump took office. Nice to see people who understand that it is not something Trump can do if he would and that Trump also probably doesn't actually want to do.

Ukraine gets a say in that, USA offered Afghanistan to itself as well, too bad the taliban didn't consider what USA had said they should do. Europe will continue to support Ukraine and Ukraine will continue to fight in this war regardless what Trump or USA think about it.

Europe is the second largest exporter of weapons in the world after USA, yes, of course it can supply itself. Not that switching quickly is necessary, Europe has a larger military than Russia and a far larger civilian pool to mobilize in the case of war, Russia wouldn't be a conventional threat to Europe, notice when people talk about Russian attacks on Europe they talk about Russia attacking the baltics and the rest of Europe potentially choosing not to intervene, also notice that the "Europe must spend more" crowd always compare European spending to US spending, not to the actual potential enemy of Europe, which is by the way because if you compare Europe to Russia it becomes very difficult to maintain the story that Europe doesn't pay for its own defence, it obviously does spend more than enough to deal with Russia.

Have fun with China America, while Europe continues to outspend and maintain a much larger and more capable military than Russia and chills at home.

You think this war is ending anytime soon? That is impressively delusional.

Given that Europe has been by far the quickest to ramp up production for this war? Given that Europe has been investing far more in continued production increases? Europe has made far more long term plans for support than anyone else, Europe had a slow start but it has made far more long term plans than anyone else and its military industry is expanding much faster than anyone else.

@qZbGmYjS4QusYqv5 Damn, moving the time now? You actually willing to put some money on the war ending on January 20th?

The large majority of aid promised to Ukraine this year by USA has not been delivered but has been ordered from industry for delivery as soon as possible. USA also didn't have an amazing military industry at the start of this war, in artillery shells for example Europe produced more than USA in 2021. Much of the US industry is dedicated to systems that it doesn't want to give, which is why USA also has mostly delivered from stockpiles, USA just has much deeper stockpiles than Europe but that isn't because it produced a lot in the last few years, it is because it produced a lot in the 90's and 2000's.

Trump calls everyone a friend until they are in direct opposition, that doesn't mean he is actually going to help or sacrifice anything for them. Trump also called Zelensky a friend and intelligent man when they met...

Then why are you still feeling the need to stay around convincing everyone Ukraine lost?

@maritaschweizer1117 You are totally wrong, NATO without USA maintains a significantly larger and more capable military than Russia, it also spends far more than Russia and control access to most of Russian ports through the chokepoints in the Arctic, Baltic and Black seas. Germany would of course fight Russia, polls that ask if you would fight for your country lets people assume the question is if they would fight in an offensive war, turnout for the military once you're the one being attacked is always far higher. You're a fucking clown if you think nobody would come to Finnlands aid, a Russian attack on them would 100% certainly result in a full war with all of NATO.

Not exactly a hard thing to understand but i'll help you. The purpose of the video is to make clear to everyone that the media talking about how Trump is the end of Ukraine has no idea what they are talking about.

Trump would set a record for shortest presidential term in US history if he suggested selling US weapons to Russia.

@JELmusic yes yes, Ukraine is not in NATO, what is that relevant to? certainly isn't relevant to whether it is in NATO's interest for it to win this war and join NATO.

Damn, you describe the entire point of the analysis yet didn't understand it, very impressive. The whole idea is that nobody does Einstein.
