Yeah, it seems they also didn't mention that it's a European defense company, not a US defense company.
Europe is investing a lot into defense now and it's actually a good thing that they're moving away from dependence on the US defense industrial complex.
Spotify sucks tho. But that's a separate thing.
Clickbait article.
I empathize with the sentiment and agree with the argument that Europe should invest in its own defense infrastructure, particularly if Putin is gearing up to make a move.
That being said, Im increasingly wary of Europe's willingness to appease Trump, and find it probable that, if right-wing parties continue making political gains, this same infrastructure will be turned against marginalized communities in these same countries; in a similar vein to the U.S regime's attacks against immigrants and dissenters.
Again, I'm not opposed to re-armament, but I hope EU citizens exercise more vigilance and skepticism in this era of resurging nationalism and protectionism.
Everyone knows what Trump is. Trump is demanding an increase in military spending with the expectation that the money will go to the US. He's basically demanding tribute.
Saying "sure we'll spend more on defense" while spending on our own defense industry is calling his bluff while also getting ready for if and when he starts using the US military to bully allies.
Nobody else in the world needs to be lectured about the problems with the US military industrial complex. We know.
Sharing my thoughts isnt lecturing. Sit down and stop being condescending.
"Sit down and stop being condescending." -- someone that doesn't lecture people
A lot of money being invested in Euro defense right now.
