They are super aggressive and have been increasingly toying with the rest of Europe with drones. They just shot one down in Romania.

Are you telling me the pants on heads Russian army that can't take Ukraine is going to charge through Nato countries into France? Do you really think they'd fight Nato. If they tried to add even Poland they'd grind to a halt. And by then they're fighting Germany, France, UK, Italy Spain, Greece, Canada, and possibly fucking America

France needs to start pulling their weight in nato and stop letting the US decide everything because they're the only ones spending

For Europe to be independent of the USA it must have its own military

100% but increased military spending when you can't afford to not piss off your people around education, pensions, taxes etc. It is a slippery slope. Can't fault it as a stand alone statement though
