Dobbiamo smettere di definire resilienti gli ucraini

Ive seen this pattern of complacency in Europe where they feel they are doing a lot. 

But the obvious gap is in equipment to protect infrastructure and ground forces at the front.

If Ukraine was lost it would be a calamity and all the people will say “why didnt we help more”.

Instead its reactive and the minimum. In the recent aid package, I think it was 90 billion Euros, and nearly 20 billion of that, IIRC was to repair bombed infrastructure. If they spent half that over the last 2 years on scaling up air defense manufacturing against various threats, such as the Iris T, they would now have saved money overall.

This will cost Europe more than investing more now, because of the aid needed to rebuild, but also if Ukraine loses, the EU will have a bigger problem and hence will have to scale up more its defenses. 

Theres no better value all round than drastically stepping up manufacturing of artillery and air defenses and donating it to Ukraine. 

On a lighter thought..how about “absolute bad-asses”?
