Pekka Toveri (EPP) delivers a powerful reminder: Europe cannot afford to ignore the Russian threat. Drawing on the painful history of countries like Finland, Estonia, and Poland, he rejects the notion that diplomacy alone can stop aggression. Toveri stresses the need for continued defence investments to ensure Europe’s security and protect future generations. Highlighting the real power behind Russia’s defence budget, he urges Europe to stay on course. Watch to understand why he believes defence readiness is not optional—it’s essential.

    According to the former Italian President Francesco Cossiga, Italy’s role in a planned retaliation consisted in striking with those nuclear weapons Czechoslovakia and Hungary had the Warsaw Pact waged nuclear war against NATO. He acknowledged the presence of U.S. nuclear weapons in Italy, and speculated about the possible presence of British and French nuclear weapons."

    The former Czechoslovakia has emerged in two countries (Czech Republic and Slovakia, just in case you don’t know), the Warsaw Pact dissolved more than 30 years ago. Francesco Cossiga was Italian President in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

    And these are just three of your many weird statements that are completly irrelevant regarding Russia’s illegal and unprovoked aggression against Ukraine that started in 2014. Your false and obviously misleading statements discredit you.

      You sound like you are acting in total bad faith. This thread is about europe defence too and i’m highlighting that europe countries already spend billions in war. Combined they spend even more than russia in total usd and slightly less adjusted to the PPP you brought up.

      I’m also pointing out that european countries defence is not weak and they have big scales war plans that aren’t even made official to the public such as nukes staked illegally. You probably don’t know but in italy this is illegal and it has never been made official for this reason but it’s so common knowledge that wikipedia even has an estimate of the amount of nukes staked.

      I encourage you to do the same.
