Not becoming part of Russia sounds like a decent return.
Over and above that, if the defence spending could put people in Europe to work at decent wages and serve as a Keynesian stimulus, that would be good. If we can get some dual-use goods (like upgrades to infrastructure of use for defence), that would also be useful.
European taxpayers would want to see a return in the form of job creation and defence industry development on European soil.
Include me as well, if we’re spending all that money on us tech I am not going to be happy about that.
“Our technology is working great, we don’t need an IT department, fire them.”
This stuff all falls under the umbrella of “you can’t prove a negative.” If your military defense is doing a good job then you won’t see much of anything at all.
Like what, more land taken by invasion? I’m also a European taxpayer and I would love a EU defense force, which would be the only other “return” that comes to mind.
More likely they would overthrow governments that refuse to let them extract natural resources, as they have done in the past.
Well, i’m a Europian tax payer, and i just want my country to be safe. And i’ll happily spend some extra tax dollars for that.
DOLLARS?!
YANK DETECTED!
