Ukrainian by blood, Swedish by birth, French by military service.
Despise authoritarians, dictators, bullies and such.
Hate Russia as much as the next Ukrainian and yes I include most Russians. Trump is my target to ridicule, that's how you handle a bully!
1/2 .. European defense industry has been cuckold by American industry for decades, this goes hand in hand with the U.S. made Europe dependent on their nuclear umbrella and security interest in Europe. That has shifted now and at the moment it's a game of "catch up".

1/ Well "less" was a bit ironic. Pretty sure that there are components that are waived for American veto.
This is deeper then my knowledge or what I have researched but it might be something I might look further into.
Europe for sure have the knowledge but...

You are 200% correct, that is the way to go and I think that is the trajectory for the future. Like you say it will take time to adjust but since America elected this moron twice it shows that nothing is sure for the future.

Trump is great at isolating the U.S. and it will be a lesson for them.

Yes there is a problem with Taurus, it uses some American components. The U.S. actually stopped Germany from delivering Taurus to Ukraine previous, it has surprisingly not been mention in media.
However, there is a new model being made and I assume it will have less U.S. components.

Well, America has shown its colours and that they are not reliable. I think Sweden will avoid buying "bulk" of American equipment or quantity because "you never know". Sure they might buy smaller samples to keep them somewhat happy but Swedish defense industry is ramping up and work with Ukraine.

Soon on OnlyFans "Rutte and Stepdad".... Two weaklings.

Swedish Minister of Defense made clear the other week that Sweden will not include Ukrainian support in the Swedish defense budget, it's a separate budget. As for the other countries, well I guess we'll see.
June 29, 2025 at 3:11 PM
Not in other ways then that Sweden already got a few Taurus delivered and that they have probably started production again.
Also since Germany held on to their Taurus like a wallet in a pick pocket convention they probably have a descent stock. With SAAB involved I think they will be in action soon
June 29, 2025 at 3:07 PM
They are buying Taurus and not American. In fact the Taurus was co developed with Sweden ( SAAB ) so it's a natural choice. Sweden have also put in an order for IRIS-T SLM medium range air defense.

Sounds like 100% capitulation after a full obliteration.
June 26, 2025 at 2:08 PM
Good piece of reading.

I've said this for a little while now, I think France will be the major NATO leader in Europe and I think that's great. No matter what we think about USA but at the moment we need them. Pretty sure we are working towards independence from U.S. in the future, Trump or not.

Yakovleff, a very competent officer. He was a Captain in 1REC/ French Foreign Legion when I served there 1988-1993. A very good and experienced officer!

So Trump, what more can you do to support Russia, send them some weapons maybe...f-ing cnut!
June 25, 2025 at 1:06 PM
I will tell you in "Two weeks".

On a serious note, it's possible that he will allow bombings and if Iran close the Hormuz straight, then he will probably use his Navy/ Air Force as well.
Troops on the ground, not a chance.

Sweden.

Trump whining about other peoples voice is just hilarious... "Two Week Taco" need a can of reality.
June 21, 2025 at 11:36 AM
The only prize "Two Week Taco" should get is the "Noble Piss Prize"
June 21, 2025 at 11:35 AM
The only prize I can guarantee him is "The Noble Piss Prize" and it will be delivered on a Taco Tuesday...so in about two weeks.
June 20, 2025 at 9:33 PM
The only prize that fucker will win is the "Noble Piss Prize" Modi of India has already rebuked that Trump has anything with the seize fire to do..But I guess they have learned from other weaklings that sucking up to Taco is the way to go.

Pathetic!

Sadly when people compare this with the Chinese in the Pakistani India skirmish they forget a lot of factors.
The training, the surrounding equipment, the integration, the environment etc etc.
Is China really known for quality?

The Rafael is not a bad plane so even if the mockery is funny it's misguiding.
But 2 Formula 1 cars on the street, one with a regular driver and one with a trained F1 driver. Who do you think will perform the best?
Just a little thought worth including.

Rocket model was a Karma 25
June 19, 2025 at 9:29 PM
Trump gave the standard answer, he will decide in two weeks.
June 19, 2025 at 9:19 PM
Guess he was out of tea or maybe sat in the basement without any windows.
