@reuters: NATO leaders are meeting in Ankara, Turkey, at a summit that's expected to see some big defense deals. Last year, member countries agreed to spend 5% of their GDP on defense. But as Elena Casas explains, Europe isn't yet ready to replace U.S. capabilities any time soon. #europe #nato #usa #defense #ankara

The United States doesn't have to fight wars for Europe. The United States couldn't even use any NATO bases during the Iran war. Russia is gaining territories and NATO's drones have zero impact on the battlefield

No, no European country is "years away" from drone production lines. It takes 3-6 mos. to construct a facility and start hiring and training workers. Low production rates take 12-14 mos. from facility groundbreaking.

What forces would Russia use to invade a NATO country? Most of their massive armor force has already been destroyed in their misadventure in Ukraine, and what’s left is pinned down there. They’re running out of fuel and lubricants all over the country. They can’t even replace their battle casualties through incentivized recruitment. Their air defense has been shredded, with the few remnants dedicated to protecting Putin and Moscow. They’ve literally squandered what was one of the largest conventional forces on Earth.

Europe is developing a very large arms industry. America is supporting that. Don’t pump your false narrative that this is about America jobs. It’s about Europe standing on its own feet against Russia

Maybe the EU should stop giving money to Russia if they’re so worried.
