Tusk della Polonia: “Abbastanza a parlare, è tempo di agire!”

At that point it has been repeated so many times, it sounds like an inside joke.

Just do it.

lol another rinse and repeat call from Europe to do something. Let it fester in the online echo chamber though. Nothing will change meaningfully. Drastic actions are required on a European level they’re not ready to do.

Yes, it’s time to replace tusk with Zandberg.

The problem with Europe is that we’re too used to being comfortable. Facing Russian aggression on our own will mean increased government spending on defense meaning other things (such as social welfare for example) will have to be cut/not increased. Which is politically unpopular. It will also mean personal sacrifice in terms of reduced incomes and luxuries, this in my opinion will be a real kicker for people. Most people I know are all for facing up to Russia but don’t want to give up the two-week holiday or face further increased prices in stores. This inability to face up to the harsh reality that the era of relative peace since WW2 is over and what it will cost just leads to these endless meaningless summits, meetings and bullshit pie in the sky statements.

TLDR: No one in Europe wants to get off their arse and actually do anything that might be an unpopular choice.

>First, he suggests, Europe should “finance our aid for Ukraine from the Russian frozen assets”.

>Secondly, the Polish leader says air policing should be strengthened, as well as “EU borders with Russia”.

>And, Tusk finishes, Europe should “swiftly adopt new fiscal rules to finance the EU security and defence. Now!”

We need much more action than that. He doesn’t seem to realize that the US is switching from being an ally to a potential adversary. We have to redesign the whole European security structure. We need to replace US nukes with French and UK ones. We need a bunch of joint weapons development programmes, e.g. for rocket artillery (HMARS equivalent), reconnaissance satellites, an EU nuclear deterrence and what not.

YES.

Does it mean troops on the battlefield with our soldiers, or yet another way to say “we’re preserving ammunition for war in Poland”?
I’m a bit clinical after so many “surprises” from our ‘allies’.

Lisan al Ghaib! The good Donald!

So, what would Poland do (and anyone else in the EU, actually) if Trump sides with Putin, as it seems? Do you guys know what the population in Eastern Europe thinks about the US troops and installations in their countries? A lot of them, especially the right wing, want them out. They say the troops don’t belong there and put a target on them. So, Mr. Tusk, how do you actually do something and stop just talking? You need to convince the people that what you want to do is the right thing. That’s a tough one, I can tell you.

 This is still more talking isn’t it?

And after he said that, nothing happened:D

Well, it’s better than Romania’s PM’s motto “It’s time to go from actions to words” (as he misquoted on TV)

Here’s an easy way to get started today. Get some unarmed Polish military intelligence officers embedded with front-line Ukrainian troops. Record the shit out of everything that happens for one week. Cycle those officers out and analyze the data. The week after you hold all-hands with all Polish troops and train them on the tactics of the Russians and Ukrainians. Do that weekly. Rinse and repeat.

Your troops won’t have first-hand battle experience but they’ll have the second best thing. They’ll be able to feel out how things may operate in a later war. They’ll be able to integrate the enemies tactics at their core. Intelligence will be able strategize counter-measures and know where to invest time and money to prepare for war.

We need a unified European military that can rival the us and China in strength.
