Absolutely. This is so annoying when our (European) politicians say they won’t compromise our own defense capabilities.
A lot of those capabilities are to protect against Russia, so we could easily give Ukraine more, because Russia is already weakened by the war, giving Ukraine more and better weapons would weaken Russia even more.
As a Finn I have to disagree with this. I’m glad that our military has prepared and keep doing so and not just throw anything out of the door towards Ukraine as it’s still a possibility we’ll need those toys. Estonia and Poland seem to have the same strategy more or less. But anything directly west from Ukraine (Germany and France mainly) could just empty their warehouses and it’d give the best value out of their hardware they’ll ever get. Stop the threat from the east and not spend a drop of domestic blood while doing it.
The military capabilities of specially EU countries is a poor joke right now. Not even the whole union can produce enough ammunition for a single (long and shattered) battlefield. If the Soviet Union in its former glory was still a thing they’d wipe the whole Europe and there’s nothing we could do about it without USA and even with them it would be difficult due to logistics. Of course in that case I suppose Europe would be better prepared as well, but right now it doesn’t look good. Hopefully this improves in the very near future.
