Rus Lavrov's reaction to Macron's threat to send French troops to Ukraine;
Macron's new defence budget to ramp up spending to $400 billion over 4 years. 60% to go towards nuclear deterrent. New aircraft carriers but not more men or tanks. Many of the plans have decades long completion dates so not much use right now.
Same as all European countries over recent decades defence spending as a percentage of GDP down from 5.4% in 1960 to just 1.8% today.
This is why Europe's constant escalations in the conflict have all been just a bluff. The UK is currently not able to provide a force of much more than 10,000 able to go right now which at Russia's current kill rate would last about 10 days.
Re: WW3 Countdown
2641Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain.
Behold, we account them blessed who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
