Europe is capable of sustaining Ukraine’s resistance against Russia, even if the United States were to decide to completely halt its military support to Kyiv, the senior military official in charge of coordinating Germany’s arms supplies told Reuters.

Major General Christian Freuding said NATO’s European members plus Canada had already exceeded the estimated $20 billion worth of U.S. military aid provided last year to Kyiv.

They accounted for around 60% of the total costs borne by the Western allies, he said.

“The war against Ukraine is raging on our continent, it is also being waged against the European security order. If the political will is there, then the means will also be there to largely compensate for the American support,” Freuding said in an interview.

    Yeah I’m very worried about the future of Europe. With trump & MAGA the US may be going crazy but they’re still a military super power and they’re at the forefront of tech, especially AI & crypto, so they’re gonna be fine.

    We on the other hand boast about our culture and history and Blabla but what does that help us if we become economically irrelevant because there’s kinda 0 innovation coming from us. We don’t really have any answers and we’re drifting deeper into fascism ourselves in light speed.
