Building an actual military capable of fielding troops? The EU just gave up on trying to fund Ukraine without the USA, the entire alliance is a joke. It's just the USA.
No. He spends it on our greatest ally.
Quit playing possum Sam.

The EU couldn't spend it on Israel if they wanted to, they have nothing. They completely mooch off the USA, which is why they are histrionic about the USA pulling out of Ukraine or NATO. The leaders are terrified since even Turkey could steamroll Europe.

Most Americans don't know if Canada is north or south of them, do you expect them to know Europe's GDP or accurately assess Turkey's military potential?Who is feeding this shit to americans?

This guy wrote yesterday that Ukraine has an army of 7-8 million men and that it is a more formidable force than Napoleon's Grande Armée and Hitler's Wehrmacht.![]()
You are truly being misguided by jew media. Which is surprising.
UK + EU has 25T GDP
US 27T GDP
Uk + EU has 29T (GDP PPP)
US 26T (GDP PPP)
And this is just EU+UK. Not Europe as a whole.
Europe is richer than US by GDP PPP. And it was also in GDP until recently.
You don't remember?Why are you lying? Quote that, you can't, because you're lying. Very sad of you.
And I after I corrected you on the laughable 7-8 million figure:Russia held back a bemouth.
Operation Barbarossa was, what, 4 million strong? Here the USA/Europe purchased a country of roughly 14-15 million people, and drafted the 7-8 million men. It's basically a bottomless pit of cannon fodder. The country of Ukraine doesn't need to worry about anything else except war, since it is entirely funded by foreign powers. Thus Russia has held back probably the largest invasion force in it's history, and actually took land.
That's a win for Russia, there is no sugarcoating this. Probably any other country except China would have gotten steamrolled.
In Samseau's mind, Ukraine has a population of 15 million people, has drafted half of its population (so basically the entire male population, including babies and elders), and has created the largest and most dangerous invasion force in Russia's history.So they beat a much larger army with far superior funding.
An army with more tanks a stronger, better army than what Hitler used. Barbarossa's army was also just a one and done deal.
Meanwhile Ukraine has been able to sustain a perma 750K-1M men at the front for years since they have unlimited funding. They can just gang-press their entire population to the frontline, and always maintain their numbers.
This is a far more dangerous, competent, and funded army than Hitler or Napoleon's.

We are now waiting for Turkey to invade the whole of Europe with its mighty army.
This is an interesting question. Napoleon brought 600,000 troops at the beginning of his march on Russia. Hitler brought 3.5 million initially, and many more over time. Hitler attacked across a front stretching from the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea, which is much longer than the current front.A sustained invasion of 750-1M men is more than anything Russia has faced in its past. Both Hitler and Napoleon's invasions were just 1-year surges with far less logistical power than the current NATO assault. This is objectively the strongest and largest force Russia has had to beat back over such a length of time. Largest = as in sum total, not just one lump number in an assault force. That's what I was trying to explain to you, but the point did not register.
There has probably been already at least 4 million men that have seen the frontlines in Ukraine, rotated in and out of service, at this point. Then add in mercs, another 100K or more. Then add tanks, planes, equipment, and funding. Even if it's not the largest in terms of manpower, it certainly is the largest in terms of raw power.

This current effort has lasted just over three years. Napoleon's attempt was primarily from June-December 1812, although some of his army continued dying the winter during early 1813. Hitler attacked Russia in June 1941, and Russia only finished destroying Berlin in May 1945, with Germany fighting fiercely to the end. Of course, Germany was kicked out of Russia long before Berlin was defeated. Russia continued pushing Germany back long after they passed Russia's borders.
Germany lost 4.5 million killed or missing while fighting Russia in WW2, which is far greater than Ukraine's losses. My guess is that Ukraine's killed and missing are between 400-800 thousand, although there's no way to really know.
Overall I'd say Germany's effort against Russia in WW2 was substantially greater than the effort Ukraine and NATO have brought in the current effort. Nevertheless, the numbers for the current effort have grown very large.
These are crazy numbers but what is even more crazy is the fact that I can't seem to find a way to keep my physical address off the internet (though I do by not telling anyone including the DMV my real address, and so my fake address shows up in google searches instead), they can read a tire track in the desert from space and tell you the model number, a sniper can almost get to Trump, and Big Brother has cameras on every corner in every city in the world yet no one knows if its 400K or 800K Ukranian men killed in Ukraine (a huge margin of error), and not one reporter can find out? I don't believe that for one second.My guess is that Ukraine's killed and missing are between 400-800 thousand, although there's no way to really know.

Somebody surely knows, but there are so many claims out there. I disbelieve the official Ukrainian claims, but there are some high estimates that seem unlikely as well. There's no way for me to tell for sure who has the true information.These are crazy numbers but what is even more crazy is the fact that I can't seem to find a way to keep my physical address off the internet (though I do by not telling anyone including the DMV my real address, and so my fake address shows up in google searches instead), they can read a tire track in the desert from space and tell you the model number, a sniper can almost get to Trump, and Big Brother has cameras on every corner in every city in the world yet no one knows if its 400K or 800K Ukranian men killed in Ukraine (a huge margin of error), and not one reporter can find out?
