What happens when we give Europe first dibs on US missiles for war

Expert: We are selling more defensive missiles to NATO allies for Ukraine, but our own stockpiles are taking a back seat. Is this why no Iran attack?

    Great time for someone to invade the US. Please, the people of Minnesota yearn for freedom from this authoritarian regime

      Yup, I think this is why they’ve been so desperate to negotiate with Russia and find some off ramp I’m Ukraine.

        it’s had to discern what’s happening because people like sachs say the military industrial complex is try to keep the war going, but others agree w your statement.

          I’d argue both of these things are true. The people making profit off the war want to keep making money, and people who want to consolidate resources for strategic purposes like destroying Iran want to end it. You have to keep in mind that the US is not a hivemind with a common purpose. There are many different groups all pulling things in different directions based on their own interests.

            the latest batch of epstein files confirms that there are other groups out there and we can infer that they don’t always align.

            you’re ahead of the curve. lol

        The US wants to go to war in Iran on behalf of Israel. Everything is secondary to that.

          That seems to be the dominant faction in the US right now for sure.

              True, they’ve dreamt of invading Iran since their regime there was overthrown.

    Well they’re moving a lot of Ukraine weapons making to Europe. Denmark for example. The metropoly may be struggling, but it’s still an empire

          There’s no single report summing this up, but here are a few article discussing European dependence on US arms exports

          • https://www.vaticannews.va/en/world/news/2025-03/arms-imports-soaring-in-europe-sipri-think-tank-says.html

          • https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/europes-dependence-on-us-arms-rose-in-last-five-years-says-report/article69311997.ece

          The problem that Europe has is lack of access to cheap energy. They’re now pretty entirely reliant on expensive LNG from the US, and industries things steel production, essential to the military, are incredibly expensive as a result.

          No “tankie” thinks Putin is a communist, far more liberals think Putin is secretly a communist than communists think so, both by ratio and total.
