Putin has woken a giant. He has yet no idea of how costly this is going to be for him. We, the EU, are a 19 trillion dolar economy. Together with Canada, since President Trump first came to power, we’ve doubled our defence spending (1/2).
Now we will double it again and spend it better than in the past. Russia is a 2 trillion dollar economy. As Europe we are spending 2,5 times more than Russia on a peace footing than Russia is spending on a war footing. All it takes is to spend the money better (2/2).

Russia alone out produces the entirety of NATO by a factor of 4 to 1. It will take literally decades to reach any kind of parity. Also, please don't mention the industrial capacity of Russias allies, like China, North Korea and Iran.
Why don't you stop asking Anne to write your posts and talk Peace.
Spend the money on your citizens. And stop doing the bidding of the Eurofuhrer Von Der liar.
