Honestly, it’s wild to see Europe scrambling to buy so many U.S. weapons instead of investing in a stronger, more coordinated European defense policy. I get that supporting Ukraine is absolutely necessary, but tying our security to the whims of U.S. politics feels risky, especially with Trump’s unpredictable stance. Social democracy is all about international solidarity, but also about autonomy and spending public money wisely—massive arms deals shouldn’t come at the expense of social programs or diplomacy. I just hope this rush to militarize doesn’t overshadow the need for peace efforts and a more independent European security strategy in the long run.
