Summary

European officials are preparing a multibillion-dollar defense package to bolster regional security and support Ukraine, announced by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock at the Munich Security Conference.

The package, potentially valued up to 700 billion euros, will fund military training, arms deliveries, and security guarantees amid concerns over Russian aggression and diminishing U.S. contributions to NATO.

The move follows calls for Europe to boost its own defense spending while U.S.-Russian talks, which exclude Ukraine and Europe, on ending the Ukraine conflict continue.

    You’re changing the subject. I was talking about how sovereignty is useful.

    And I’d say it’s pretty fucking useful when a dictator is threatening to take over where you live.

      In my country the only one threatening to take over is the fascist pm who backed public billions in war. Meanwhile public services are crumbling and people are literally dying because of it

        You’re trying to change the subject again. No one said anything about your country. I don’t know where you live, nor do I care.

        However, I imagine you would care if some other country you didn’t like was threatening to take yours over and run it their way. I’m guessing you wouldn’t suddenly talk about invisible lines.
