@secretsqrl123 Agreed. European countries in NATO expect collective defense but they run on different systems requiring different logistics and cannot effectively take advantage of economies of scale
@VVoxie@secretsqrl123 You just outsmarted the entire state of Poland 🤣🤣 Poland relies heavily on US and SK for it's army. Should've consulted with you first 😅
@jeromeportier@secretsqrl123 I think you would agree it's better to pool resources together rather than each petty country invest in it's own expertise. Look at Eurofighter
@secretsqrl123 You see @AndrewPerpetua why "Europe" can't do shit? Europe is on the continent where all these petty little countries can't work together.
@AndrewPerpetua European Union does not have an army to buy this shit for. The EU just started SAFE program, which guess what? Gives cheap loans to individual countries to built capabilities.
@AndrewPerpetua@DanielPrikryl@IAmArcIvanov Yes. It starts with the United States of Europe. Than you have your federal army so you can build a military industrial complex
@AndrewPerpetua We should acknowledge putin's disinformation war going on for decades as the reason for EU not becoming a federation like the USA. Then yes, you could have had a federal army and centralized procurement.
@AndrewPerpetua There is no Europe as a whole entity, this is what you don't understand. Yes, countries can work together, under an umbrella called NATO and partner up for joint project eg Eurofighter. To expect 'Europe to place an order' just sounds silly.
