Somebody posted a photo meme. The first photo was the defense ministers of Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. All young, attractive women. They look like fashion models. Below was the photo of a serious, dangerous looking older man. It was labeled “The Russian Defense Minister.”
In thirty plus years, I have run across a handful of young, attractive women who were also extremely competent in their job. There were other women who were competent, forceful, good employees, but they were not fashion plates. I could accept that one of those women defense ministers was worth her weight and also that good looking. But all of them? It makes me wonder if Europe is serious about defense.
Meanwhile the ChiComs continue on their merry way expanding their reach and expanding their military....

The US is re-activating the Second Fleet. Which is interesting.
If we spend so much more on the military than Russia how come some are always talking about how much of a danger Putin is? Maybe an easing of tensions and an effort to work the Russians on easing Middle East problems are in order.
“The return to great power competition and a resurgent Russia demands that Nato refocus on the Atlantic to ensure dedicated reinforcement of the continent and demonstrate a capable and credible deterrence effect,”
It makes me wonder if Europe is serious about defense.

Some of their planes and ships are good on paper, but their land forces pretty much suck - the much vaulted German Leopard II turned out to be a dud in use.
It makes me wonder if Europe is serious about defense.
Yeh, a good way to demonstrate their seriousness would be to start paying their fair share of 2% GDP as they agreed to.....
A dud in use where?
In one of the conflicts currently raging. I forget which there are so many. perhaps the Turks, can’t remember.
Here's the Austrian Leopard 2A4 tank that ended up taking gold.
Do we have enough ships for the Second Fleet?
"Happy" doesn't mean squat on a battlefield...something most euroweenies today wouldn't know about.
Deep.
Except for that whole happy to survive the battlefield thing.
Btw I am an American living in Europe and I detect a slight smile in the photo you posted so thanks for adding.
