The ancient rule that men love war and women love warriors so that after each war an abundance of children easily exceeded war losses, while damaged cities were rebuilt and expanded in dynamic post-war reconstructions, seems to have been forgotten

What is this supposed to mean? War is OK because after it people can rebuild and reproduce?

Europe is a continent of pacificts

I'm sorry, did I fall into some parallel reality?

It's really fun to read a weapon dealer ghoul seethe about how European's military complex is a monopolistic inefficient pile of garbage

Why fix NATO when you can use NATO's fiscal policies to plunge Europe further into austerity, deindustrialise them and push down labour costs

pacifists

did the meaning of the word change? Europe is not what I would consider as pacifists

Good, may it go down in flames. NATO has contributed nothing to humanity but death and destruction.

They say this like it's a bad thing.

Scroll a bit down and you see what it's about:

Europe’s welfare state grows as defence spending falls

This comes from one of the wealthiest nations in the world which let 5 thousand people freeze to death last winter cause they couldn't afford the rising heating costs.

Which also happens to be ruled by a monarch who's main job is gun trade.

Europe would actually save money by disbanding NATO....

That's because NATO is rotten to the core

What an utterly deranged article. From complaining about social spending, buying from national arms industry to even calling them pacifists for not wanting to deploy their armies to Ukraine. Guess everything would be gucci if they were buying American I guess?

Okay this has to be one of the most ridiculous statements ive ever read. Europeans being pacifists 😂

As if this wasn't intentional, nato has turned into a big hole for public expenses
