The source added that the UK’s weapons stockpiles are so diminished that the UK had “nothing” left and it was better for them to lobby the Germans.
We are starting now? This late? To “aim to” ramp up?
Bit late I’d say.
Don’t let this fool you. Europe has been supporting Ukraine since the start of the war. They also are giving them more now than what US is.
Still better than never.
This is great and all, but …the times? Aren’t they a total trash/rag paper?
In my mildly educated opinion, I wouldn’t say so. The Sun, The Daily
HeilMail, and The Daily Mirror are rags. The Times has its issues, as any paper does, but I wouldn’t call it a rag. It’s a center right paper with high factual reporting.

Pretty hilarious that the imbeciles running Europe think they can just create a whole military industrial complex out of whole cloth. These are the same kind of clowns who think that food just magically appears in the supermarket. They have no concept of logistics, supply chains, energy production, or a skilled work force required for such an endeavour. This is what happens when a bunch of media people start running countries. They just think everything is like a movie, and that they can just print weapons the way they print money. 🤣

Anyone who aims to ramp up weapons is a thread for humanity
I’m sure Putin and his oligarchs are deeply concerned and would like to disarm any nazi you know of, especially if they reside in a Baltic or Slavic nation and hold state office.
Jokes aside, the fact remains: if Russia wins, you can expect weapons manufacturing to increase even more and that those supposed immovable borders promised with modernity start shifting again like “in the good old days”.
Nobody wants a return to old Europe, especially Europeans.

That’s stupid logic, if you don’t want weapons manufacturing to increase you stop increasing it. The thread is about european leaders wanting to ramp up weapons not decreasing them
So not manufacturing weapons will somehow stop Russia?
Sure it will as there’s a global race at arms. Russia has X weapons so we must have X+1, this degenerates to the point where you are spending all your money on destructive weapons and you have rockets in your garden waiting to be used. There are a thousand ways to fight off russia that don’t involve manufacturing more explosive such as for example not closing an eye on countries like turkey and emirates providing a workaround to russia sanction but guess what? Producing more weapons is a much greater deal for european leaders
You’re assuming that Russia doesn’t have any imperialist aims and will simply magically turn peaceful once the evil, evil west stops manufacturing weapons
I assume every nation with an army have imperialist aims
That’s certainly a take. So eg. Finland is an imperialist country because we have a military, which is definitely not meant to just keep the Russians from rolling over the border and doing a Ukraine / Georgia / Chechnya to us. I take it your view is that if we or the Georgians or Ukrainians didn’t have a military, we wouldn’t be in any danger?
