Russia-Ukraine War

[SB Shock]

I will say that most NATO members, if not all, need to spend more on defense and stop using us as the de-facto military and defense for their countries.

And they have.

Good job SB! Thanks for keeping it real.

JUST IN: Ukrainian President Zelensky says Ukraine only received around $75 billion of the $177 billion in aid sent by the United States. "I don't know where all this money is."

That only left $102 billion for Biden to divide out to his friends and family.

Trump's fault that $100B is missing, I'm sure.

From watching mainly DW news (German news in English) there is still the sense that European NATO is well behind the ball in defense spending...graphs look impressive but probably and indication of just how weak defense spending was prior to 2023. No doubt at this point Trump is rattling alot of them so there will be a continued increase in defense spending as long as the Ukraine war lasts and maybe beyond.

Spending and allocating money is one thing but is it translating into timely weapons production? DW thinks not. Here in the West our weapons production is so inflated and costly. Russia on the other hand is on a war footing with weapons development and production considerably less costly.
