How Europe is creating its own military-industrial complex

Europe is working on its biggest #military overhaul since the end of the Cold War. The #EU wants to upend the way it finances and sells arms. In effect, it is a military-industrial complex all but in name.

Helping Ukraine didn't cause European shortage of weapons, it merely exposed it.

"The only industry that creates products designed to be destroyed"... Well, I don't reuse toilet paper.

"should step up or start learning russian" I honestly thought this was going to be a DuoLingo ad.

Denmark has no heavy artillery or air defense systems because we've literally sent all of it to Ukraine. Soon we'll have no F-16s any longer either, because we'll give all of the remaining ones to Ukraine too...despite not having received even a third of the ordered F-35s. We've been a member of the F-35 program since its inception btw.
I don't mind all of those weapons being in Ukraine where it's needed at all, but you could at least mention that instead of just saying things out of context.

Europe needs to have its own military organisation like nato WITHOUT USA.

A huge problem with producing weapons across multiple countries is that then every one of those countries gets a veto on the re-export of those weapons to allies who are being invaded. Germany has discovered that some of their weapons are useless because the ammunition is made in Switzerland, and the Swiss can use their veto to prevent Germany from sending the ammunition to Ukraine. Nobody will buy European weapons if they need approval from ten different countries every time the weapons are needed.

"America takes care of its friends, or at least it's customers.." How does that Kissinger quote about American allies go again?

And to think, that we, Baltic states, were called alarmists and delusional when we warned about russian threat. Better late than never, but even better early than late.

Denmark has no artillery.... Because it's all in Ukraine actually being put to use. Maybe you should mention that?

There's a distinct difference between being peaceful and being harmless.

Well, Denmark had one submarine, but they decided to destroy it and throw the captain in jail...

I hate wars, i dislike military spending but Ukraine woke me up. I'm happy to spend 5% minimum up to 10% of the annual budget now.
Relying on USA to defend us has gotten old and they're also tired of it which i completely understand when we don't even pay the minimum set out in the nato rules.

You're the first person ever to call the American military industrial lobby as a win-win for all parties. Lobbying comes down to legal ways of bribing politicians, subverting democracy.

Hello, I noticed that map shown at 11:07 has Latvian capital shown as Aloja. I think this is not the first time I've noticed it, I hope you can change it to actual capital Riga.

Refering the American 's allies as "loyal customer" is cool as hell 😂
