So basically NATO is we defend you for free and you tell us to eat shit every time we need help? Oh right you sent some troops that never left the wire to Iraq so all debts are paid forever, past and future. Fuck this noise.

Gehört für mich einfach nicht in eine kompetitiven Umgebungen, wie den @dachcs Masters (egal, welche Spielklasse) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯






Since the Bundeswehr isn't an expeditionary military and its main focus should be the Russian conventional military threat, I would want to see the justification to spend $8.5B on 60 Chinook heavy-lift helicopters Building several drone brigades would IMO be a better investment







Not bad from 10 yards

BIG: Dutch Defence Minister Gijs Tuinman hints that software independence is possible for F-35 jets. He literally said you can “jailbreak” an F-35. When asked if Europe can modify it without US approval: “That’s not the point… we’ll see whether the Americans will show their true colors.” And then he dropped this: “I'm going to say something I should never say, but I'll do it anyway. Just like your iPhone, you can jailbreak an F-35. I won't say more about it.” Source: BNR Nieuwsradio Podcast

🇩🇪🇬🇧🇫🇷 L'Allemagne a entamé des discussions avec ses alliés européens, notamment la France et le Royaume-Uni, sur un partage de la défense nucléaire, a annoncé le chancelier Friedrich Merz le 29 janvier 2026. 🇺🇸 Cette initiative intervient dans un contexte d'incertitude croissante concernant le parapluie nucléaire américain sous l'administration Trump, qui exhorte les Européens à être plus autonomes dans leur sécurité. ⛔️ Bien que l'Allemagne ne puisse pas posséder l'arme nucléaire en raison du traité de non-prolifération de 1969 et du traité de Moscou de 1990, elle dispose de capacités techniques significatives qui pourraient contribuer à une initiative européenne commune. 🤔 Emmanuel Macron avait déjà exprimé son soutien à cette idée en octobre 2024, annonçant travailler à l'actualisation de la doctrine nucléaire française. lefigaro.fr/international/…
