L’enjeu crucial, ce n’est pas le plan de #Trump, ce sont les garanties de sécurité, l’alliance 🇪🇺🇺🇦. Seule une présence 🇪🇺 en 🇺🇦 peut dissuader 🇷🇺 d’attaquer à nouveau 🇺🇦; seule 🇺🇦 peut permettre à 🇪🇺 d’être réellement militairement autonome et crédible.

It is crucial for 🇪🇺 not to hesitate when it comes to strengthening European defence.
That's why we are proposing the #ReArm Europe package & finalising the White Paper, that will give the EU guidance on how to ramp up production in 🇪🇺 & increase our defence readiness.

En parité de pouvoir d’achat, la Russie dépense désormais plus dans sa défense que tous les pays européens combinés. Et c’est sans compter sur la baisse d’efficacité liée à la multiplicité de pays (redondances, etc).

Global defence spending soars to new high
In response to rising threat perceptions, global defence spending rose to USD2.46 trillion in 2024. Countries in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, and Europe saw major budget increases, although President Trump’s recent call for a minimum spend of 5% of GDP among NATO members remains unfeasible for most countries.

On the 100 000 drones - is the number arbitrary? Sure, but which wouldn’t be?
What is more important in my view than buying drones now however (which risk to become obsolete fast) is to put in place drone production capabilities to manufacture large numbers when needed.

Sure, I can criticise the exact numbers and whether “a drone army” really is the right approach, but overall, these proposals are going in the right direction.
