“Just struck a deal with the European Union—this time they’ll pay 100% for all U.S. military equipment we send. They’ll receive it, redistribute it, and the bulk will go to Ukraine. It’s been a while since you’ve heard words like that,” Trump said.

So we are buying useless weapons? (useless bc they will arrive too late)

All he done is a short term gain, behind the scenes everyone is moving away and developing joint weapons programs within the EU and UK

Wasn't it NATO? Maybe he is confounding the two? And in NATO the USA contribute, too, not just t he European countries; and there are countries in NATO which are not part of the EU (Canada, Turkey, e.g.)

He cares only about fees from this deal from US companies. Anyway, it will kill US economy faster in long term.

That’s not called a deal, that’s just selling equipment with no discount.

Selling old storage items ( needing extensive restoration) as new to ‘friends’ so they can give as presents. Who would trust the US in future?

Don't worry, he's going to illegally replace the Fed and set the interest rate to 1, or even 0 or something. And then we'll see a crisis akin to Turkey, when they pulled the exact same shit, and had massive growth but also extreme inflation that made that "growth" worthless lol.

Except for some key areas (aircrafts, patriots) EU has a huge military complex that is starved for money.

Europe combined probably spends an amount on defence comparable to the USA. There is an economies of scale problem where European countries are spending money on the same thing as others. The main deficiency Europe has is intelligence, comms and GPS. All space based, and expensive.

I read that the biggest pain for Europe is intelligence and logistic around the Europe - it fully depends on US now.

No, the biggest pain for the EU is internal borders/obstacles. It needs much stronger unification to fully embrace its potential.
jul 24, 2025, 12:27 pm • 1 0 • view
The biggest pain points are intelligence and logistics, but that is caused by internal boarders. Europe needs to find a way to collaborate on technology and compatability. I.e. we need to use the same planes and standard pallet systems for logistics

We come from a time where USA wass actively trying to undermine every attempt at building a working Europe. And having a common EU military was exactly the kind of thing USA was trying to avoid.

I read it too, a few times. US has / had a fear from strong Europe because it would be a competition in the international world. I guess that Trump blew this up for sure.

It started long before Trump. It was Obama that shifted the focus away from Europe, toward Asia... the idea was: "Europe is at peace, Berlin wall has fallen, URSS is no more, so we should focus on China". It didn't work.

Europe has plans to decouple there too. The Galileo system for example... ...it takes time, but if EU is forced to bite the bullet we'll bite.

Yup, was reassured to see how quickly Europe moved to close that gap. Hopefully in 10 years Europe will not need to rely on the USA for defence in any way.

UK and Canada are joining Europe on some of these. I never thought it could happen until the USA chose to self-harm.

As a child I learned never to trust a Russian. Now I add the American administration to it. The Budapest memorandum although not legally binding but where is the honour? Europe needs independence from American big tech and arms full stop.

Wait, what? Was there ever a time when EU was not allowed to buy US military equippment at full price? So whats new? US is still not supporting Ukraine at all, and is still not increasing scanctions on Russia. So Krasnov is still making Russia great again. No news here

We will remember that the US has stopped to defend the free world. This country has become a pure merchant country and not an ally. EU will build its own defense industry. Do not be surprise when will stop to buy US products. America people are no more welcome in France.
