    Europe should create series of factories producing 1000-2000 long range strike drones a day and let Ukraine use them.

    That would be the fastest way to end this war.

      I think that’s a fantastic plan, but it appears to me that the EU would rather not lose their gas source, they are still buying Russian gas last time I checked. This would lead to at least a major price increase, which is bad for our too-big-to-fail international business interests.

      On the other hand, Ukraine was given many F-16s, why would they allow F-16s but not long range strike drones? I don’t know enough to figure it out.

          Guess its time for my ass to wait for death then because our leaders will 100% sell their countries for a nice villa somewhere.

          I disagree, I think they will not invade the EU without Chinese agreement and a lot more of their support. But, I’m not a general or anything, just my opinion.

            Few days before the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 China and Russia announced “no limits” partnership. We even learned that the invasion was postponed for a week because Xi didn’t want attention greeting away from the Winter Olympics.

            Had the invasion of Ukraine went go as smoothly as putin was expecting, we likely would see much more open cooperation of China.
