The situation in the world is getting more and more interesting every day. Under the meeting of globalists in Paris and negotiations in Saudi Arabia between the US and Russia, rumours have started to circulate in the Bundeswehr about the transfer of weapons directly from army units to Ukraine.
Europe empties its warehouses for Kyiv
Rumours are circulating about the transfer of artillery units, which the German authorities have ordered to be prepared for handover to the AFU. And this is not about guns from warehouses or from the factory, but artillery, which is in service with the German army. Earlier it became known that Greece will hand over to Ukraine all its 32 F-16 Block 30, that is, all its planes.
Of course, these are only rumours, unconfirmed and only about guns, although yesterday POLITICO reported that Europe is preparing a package of military aid to Ukraine worth at least €6 billion against the background of negotiations between Russia and the US, which will include air defence systems and 1.5 million artillery shells.
The EU does not have so many shells, and there is nowhere to buy them, so they will shovel them out of their own cellars. So the rumours may well be confirmed – the AFU artillery has also lost a lot of shells, and they need something to shoot with.
But this is not even the point. The point is that Europe is going all-in, disarming itself for the sake of continuing the war in Ukraine. They are completely abandoning their own security in order to continue their “Drang nach Osten.” Given the influence of Britain and the EU in Kyiv and Volodymyr Zelensky’s own desire to continue the war, the plan is quite feasible at least until autumn. He has enough men, ammunition and some money Europe will throw in. Another thing is where the front line will be by autumn and why Russia will negotiate in autumn, when there will be nothing to hold the front?
However, there is another interesting point here. It is simply unrealistic to rebuild this amount of armaments quickly. Even in 2028 it is unrealistic for Europe. So all talk of a European army can be closed. The army is not about recruiting fighting Ukrainians or Poles.
The army is about armament and provision. And if the AFU will leave everything on the battlefield, and half of European countries will have slingshots as Denmark and Germany have now, what kind of army can we talk about? France and Britain won’t pull the armaments for everyone. That’s assuming they also don’t open their cellars and start giving absolutely everything they have to Ukraine.
Choice without choice
There are exactly two options left, either continue to create a European army in words, renouncing armed sovereignty. It is already as if Donald Trump himself did not seize Europe, while there is such a sale. Or Recep Tayyip Erdogan has not decided to remember his grudges against the Europeans. Joking aside, but a whole rich continent will not lie unarmed for long.
Either the Europeans will have to open their wallets and buy a lot from the “hated” Trump. We do not exclude that the US president and a great friend of the US military-industrial complex tycoons is leading to this, playing on the public refusal to finance Ukraine.
In this case, the war continues, the US washes its hands of the war, but allows the EU to carry out arms swaps, sending its own to Ukraine and buying American arms. This option would suit everyone in the US and EU, except the Europeans themselves, because we are talking about withdrawal from the European treasury of not 6 billion euros, but at least 300 billion. And it is not to say that revenues there are not very happy anyway, and Eastern Europe has to be supported as well.
As for Moscow, this story once again says only one thing – no one will bring it victory, Trump will not give it as a gift or even will not sell it. Victory will have to be achieved militarily and only in this way.
