  • European countries are not a monolith, there are conservatives, progressives, and neo-nazis just like the US. Europe benefits from having more stable checks and balances and better general education compared to the US, as well as the benefits of hindsight to see what is happening/happened in the US, UK, Hungary, Turkey, Russia, and Ukraine.

    For what it’s worth, a majority of European countries are in favor of sanctioning Israeli settlers. However, there is a lot of anxiety about defending Europe from Russia, and the Israel, the US, and Turkey are some if the biggest contributors to European security. But things are changing. NATO is rearming, and Ukraine is shaping up to be the world’s most desirable security partner.
















  • I think you don’t understand the Gripen. Seeing an airplane on radar doesn’t mean that airplane is useless.

    Gripens cost 1/10 of the cost to run per flight hour than an F-35, and have all the same capabilities, aside from its radar cross section. For drone defense and stand-off munitions, the Gripen is a better weapon.

    Russia never gained air superiority over Ukraine. Even with air superiority, the US military cannot destroy all of Iran’s weapons. Hundreds of gripens hiding in the high north is a nightmare for any would-be Canada invader.
