EU needs to build really good defense against Russia. Please look at our Ukrainian example… you can’t really have too much ammo.
Right now, I’m more worried Russia will take us over without firing a shot. Just help far-right stooges take over and “Orbanise” their power. Then dissolve the EU. And we may be dumb enough to allow it
We should setup an offensive budget
ESSI – European Sky Shield Initiative – takes all 500 b€ alone. I guess 1 t€ is needed to cover most projects.
Europe must fight as one or they will fall one by one.
How much of this is new spending? The issue for Europe, and lets include the UK as guilty of underspending too, is 2% of GDP is a bare minimum, not an ambitious target.
For my opinion, 2.5% should be the short term, 2-4 year target and 3% planned for early 2030’s.
income taxes should be brought up to 90%. 50% for pensions and welfare, 30% for healthcare, 10% for defence. the rich have to start paying their fair share
500bn is not enough

“Welfare? No, we don’t have any money. Social spending? No, we don’t have any money. Pension funds? No, we don’t have any money. Automotive and green transition? No, we don’t have no any money. Common debt to increase living standard? NO, that’s irresponsible. More war? YES PLEASE, here are 500 billions!”.
And people keep blaming TikTok and so on because anti-war “pro-Putin” candidates are surging…. People don’t need any “Russian propaganda” for that: a single Von Der Leyen or Metsola apparition is enough.
France just issued a no-confidence vote in their parliament over €40 billion in austerity cuts. It’s gonna be really interesting seeing Europe come up with €500 billion for military spending.
