”Ukraine is indirectly helping bring down dictators all over the globe by tying up their main patron, Russia. There’s a reason dissidents from Iran and Venezuela feel such affinity with Ukrainians. They share a common enemy and a common fight.”

“After we win this war… we will make sure that Ukraine wins as well… Russia will pay for what it did…” https://x.com/heroiam_slava/status/2028217217901383960?s=46

Europe must finally equip itself with real strength, real ability to defend its skies, its land, and its sea against any type of attack. In particular, this means building sufficient air defense production capacity — both against drones and against ballistic missiles.

”Even in the Gulf countries, which have more advanced air defense systems than those provided to us so far by our partners and have them in larger quantities, not all ballistic missiles are intercepted. There were also “shaheds” that air defense in the region has not stopped.”

The situation in the Middle East shows how difficult it is to provide one hundred percent protection against missiles and “shahed” drones. Even in the Gulf countries, which have more advanced air defense systems than those provided to us so far by our partners and have them in larger quantities, not all ballistic missiles are intercepted. There were also “shaheds” that air defense in the region has not stopped.

Everyone can now see that Ukraine’s experience in defense is, in many respects, irreplaceable. We are ready to share this experience and help those nations that helped Ukraine this winter and throughout this war. We are ready to work on developing Europe’s shared defensive capabilities. Europe must have enough air defense missiles, enough experience in shooting down drones, and sufficient production of modern interceptor drones. Together, we can make this happen.

Thank you to everyone working to strengthen the power of a united Europe.

It was a rare straight and honest comment from a politician. That's exactly how it is.

In reply to Jan W. Nja. He is a Eurocrat. An administrator and manager. That's how I see him.

Merz goes further, not even collectively does Europe possess the ability to perform what our allied USA does, and what we actually see as important goals:

Merz on some European leaders criticizing the U.S. airstrikes against Iran:

“Now isn’t the moment to lecture our partners and allies.

Despite all doubts, we share many of their objectives, even if we ourselves aren’t capable of actually achieving them”
