As first reported by Joshua Posaner and Laura Kayali at Politico, EU Internal Market Commissioner, Thierry Breton, has stressed the importance of Europe bolstering its defence.
His propositions include the creation of an aircraft carrier and a missile defense shield.

During his speech at the European Defence and Security Conference, Breton accentuated the European Commission’s need to launch an “ambitious European defence investment program”.


Amid anticipation for an imminent European defence industrial strategy, set to be unveiled on November 8, Breton advanced the conversation on the building of an aircraft carrier, a “Eurodome air defense system”, and a space-focused “European threat detection and identification capability”.


Breton was quoted as saying, “With the return of high-intensity conflict on the European continent, we have no other choice,” while addressing defence industry magnates in Brussels.






This will never work.

Italian mechanics, a French Captain that will surrender after leaving the harbour, a Brit in Charge of the kitchen, German engineering, logistics from Poland and built with Albanian workers.

lol, I found it amusing, but in the report he's also calling for a missile defense shield.  Perhaps the carrier was a bargaining chip for him to throw away in favor of getting the missile defense stuff up.

Once again, I argue for Ukraine to receive decommissioned USN frigates. Putting down a Russian "survey ship" in the Baltic or the Atlantic would seem like a net good for everyone.

Of course, Russia would make finding and killing those vessels a top priority, so probably a dumb idea, but what the heck, a guy can dream.

Yeah, I think it's an atgm or rpg that hits one of the vehicles.  Certainly deserves cluster munitions.

Well today was the forest assault range. Hidden trenches and bunkers, fallen trees, and lots of pop up targets to engage. This group has two more range days. Tomorrow is an assault on a trench system which leads into an open field, and the following day defense of a trench. Then they head off to the front for the real thing.

The range:

It's funny. I'm listening to him just a little bit ago rattle off a list of atrocities that Hamas committed during their invasion and thinking, "You dolt. These are the exact same things the Russian army has been doing the last almost two years! Tying up civilians and executing them, raping children, ad nauseam. Where was your indignation and outrage then?"

Fucking pathetic.

I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy that even though it has been proven a dozen times there are no red lines the Biden administration keeps stalling claiming the various weapons would escalate, because Putin said so. But outside Ukraine we are happy to double dare Russia or anyone else.

And the “we can’t spare any” is equally false as we obviously have plenty we could fly, or we have over 120 in surplus.

Why Biden stalls and withholds has zero to do with reality of “escalation” nor with availability of aircraft’s whether our pilots or theirs.

Russian legionnaires for a bunker dwarf (for his birthday).

You, stumpy devil of Valdai, and the damned devil’s brother and comrade, Lucifer’s own secretary. What the hell kind of president are you when you can’t kill a hedgehog with your bare ass. Damn you, your face is fucked. You, you son of a bitch, will not have the sons of Russia under you, we are not afraid of your army, we will fight you with land and water.

You are a Lubyansky face, an Olginsky troll, a Kremlin grandfather, a Valdai coward, a Chinese puppet, a bunker dwarf, a Luzhnitsky liar, an Udmurt double, a fool of all the world and illumination. You are a pig's muzzle, a mare's ass, a butcher's dog, an unbaptized forehead.
This is how the legionnaires answered you, bald.

You won’t even graze pigs in the Moscow region.

Signed by: Caesar, deputy commander of the Legion “Freedom of Russia” and our entire friendly team.

PS. We do not claim the glory of the Ukrainian-Zaporozhye Cossacks. We wanted to get creative in “congratulating” the bald man.

For Russia! For freedom!

I'm surprised they didn't add something like "and may the devil's grandmother always be in your shoe" as a closing remark.

Pay attention to this: Russia is attacking European energy infrastructure, in particular the Baltic states that they have repeatedly said belong to them.
It only started operating in 2020, so it shouldn't be a huge deal. But it is an attack.

You forgot to add "Russia would never attack NATO #87.8"

Pay attention to this: Russia is attacking European energy infrastructure, in particular the Baltic states that they have repeatedly said belong to them.
The pipeline is bi-directional, transferring natural gas between Finland and Estonia depending on demand and supply. Most of the gas that was flowing in the pipeline early Sunday before closure was going from Finland to Estonia from where it was forwarded to Latvia, Elering said.
It only started operating in 2020, so it shouldn't be a huge deal. But it is an attack.


😂 I was going to claim it as an EXHIBIT but they didn’t know if it was a leak or not at that time. But now they know for sure I petition to retroactively claim it as the newest exhibit 😁

Just like we are finding out with HAMAS these are not point incidences. RUSSIA IS ATTACKING THE WEST like it always has on a global “front” in as many places as they can stir up shit.

This is basic sociopath/psychopath behavior (from a layman ‘s perspective. I am not a biologist 😁). They love to invest a small amount of their own effort to launch hot button issues for others that entangle them in a massive effort.

At some point we need to recognize 50%-70% of international conflict is probably instigated and fed by Russia. It’s their chosen job!  We can continue to wait for fires to be lit and run around in a Chinese fire drill to Observe, Report, Confer, Prepare, Confer, Act, Confer. Or we might want to grab a golden opportunity and help Ukraine to totally and completely solve the source of these forever problems.

That is exactly the mission Putin claimed in 2007 in his remarkable speech at the Munich security conference. Russia positions itself as a polar opposite to the US-led liberal order, and seeks to erode and break US international power by fomenting conflicts, indirectly attacking the US and its interests, driving the US to squander its economic, political, and military power in largely tangential crises. Ukraine is the largest example; many in GD have said this conflict is tangential to US interests and they are not entirely wrong. This is exactly the context for viewing Putin, his ideological goals, and his international actions both large and small. He's setting up a new world order based on a diminished US and ascendant authoritarians around the world in opposition. For all Russia is killing itself on  the fields of Ukraine by wasting its economy, military, and men, it is succeeding at this larger effort.

The current US government is not merely weak, it is feckless and shallow, and is only reacting to the actions of Putin and his agents and clients. This is not a strategic or thoughtful approach to international affairs. It does not help to create a larger vision to guide and shape US actions on the international stage. Putin is playing Biden as surely as he's played every US President for the last 20 years, and US Presidents have not at all stood up to the challenge of Putin. Putin told GW Bush in 2007 that Ukraine was "not a real country" and Bush failed to make any adjustments to Ukraine policy for himself or going forward with the State Dept to guide future administrations.

I don't know why people think it won't work.

In the Austro-Hungarian navy, most everyone spoke German, Croat, Czech, Hungarian. Look at the austro-hungarian currency and it was in 7 languages.

It functioned and it sounds disruptive but it worked.

Have you noticed a bunch of bot accounts pusing "Nuke Meca"

They went from a very negative/passive "All we are saying... is give peace a chance!" to "Nuke the place into a glow in the dark, glass covered, parking lot."

Weird. It's like someone wanted a distraction

I think it had mostly to do with the cooks being British............
I think I'd rather have French or Italian cooks.

Heaven is where the police are British,
the cooks are French,
the mechanics German,
the lovers Italian
and it’s all organised by the Swiss.
Hell is where the chefs are British,
the mechanics French,
the lover’s Swiss,
the police German
and it’s all organised by the Italians.

Who makes roast beef better than the British though? Not to mention London Broil.

GF watches that British baking contest show. Some of that stuff looks pretty good to this American.
