▲Europe Must Choose Between Power and Dependence (slavoj.substack.com)
1293816 8 hours ago [-]
The only thing I agree with is that the EU should get stronger militarily.

The rest of this article is neocon/industry hogwash. Hegseth instructed the EU in 2025 to get stronger and finance the US proxy war in Ukraine.

The article also panders to big business by promoting AI. It mentions none of the issues that populations face in the EU (housing, immigration. inflation).

One wonders who buys his Substack subscriptions ...

There is a clip from either the Daily Show or Last Week Tonight of US presidents going back to the 90s telling EU leaders to get their shit together when it comes to defense and sovereignty.

Also what do you mean US proxy war? I don't get that part of your post

By which they meant "buy more US made weapons". And got stroppy if they tried to buy and build locally instead.

Europe needs to ensure its defence spending is in Europe, not buying stuff from other countries. Yes it as an opportunity to re industrialise.

In the beginning of the war, the US was the biggest sponsor and it took quite sometime to convince France then Germany to join with the same commitment.

1.) Hegseth can not "instruct" EU.

2.) The Ukraine war is not US proxy war, after all US is not supporting Russian invasion. That war was started by Russia because Russia wants to expand and steal other countries.

Why do you create separate account for each comment?.. Some glitch in automatic tool?

I've been seeing a crap load of comments from new accounts like this on politically charged threads. Must be some botnet campaign.

A lot of Polish politicians also challenged Europe to step up. Is it then a Polish proxy war?
