Have you seen Rutte kissing Trump's ass? The EU isn't getting independent from US, it's precisely Trump, through NATO, who's pushing for the 5% number.

Sure buddy, this time the EU military budget will be used to "defend itself" and not to bomb brown children like the past 30 years.

It's always going to be used to bomb brown children.

But at least we can fund local manufacturers.

How can you say that with a straight face? "At least it's our bombs that will murder brown children". If you agree that the west will always bomb brown children, you surely support the dismantling of western governments as we know them?

Yes.

I dream of that every night.

But you know what they say, don't let 'perfect' be the enemy of 'good'.

The "good" is bombing children with OUR bombs? Fuck no, the good is stopping the bombings

The 'better' is not giving US more money.

OK, so let's not invest European money into bombing children at all, and invest it into social safety nets?
