Instead of military spending, we should get our education and politics act together. We should be at least ready to pivot to self sufficiency.

We depend on Putin's mercy for energy, because a lot of us skipped game theory in kindergarden apparently. Someone mentioned cell phones. Yes that'd be good, to have a full end to end electronics pipeline around here. And so on.

We have very little military spending. The ukraine invasion was a very successfull testrun for Putin. We in Europe we keep ourselve weak and defenseless. Why?

[skrause]

We're not defenseless. The Ukraine just isn't part of either the NATO or the EU and not really close to the rest of Europe. If Russia was about to invade part of Finland the reaction would be quite different.

The parent comment advocated for more military spending. I tried to offer better places for money.
