The European Union’s top foreign policy guy Josep Borrell is openly admitting that they’ve depleted their weapons.
RT:
EU members must pour more resources into boosting their military capabilities to ensure the flow of weapons will continue “until Ukraine prevails” over Russia, the bloc’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, has said. He acknowledged that insufficient preparation has led to member states’ stockpiles becoming depleted.
“We have given weapons to Ukraine, but in so doing, we realized that our military stockpiles have been depleted,” he wrote in a blog post on Sunday. “And we should be able to do this as long as necessary, until Ukraine prevails.”
The situation “has been a wake-up call for all of us about our military capabilities,” he said, reiterating his assessment from the previous week that the EU is “lacking critical defense capabilities.”
While acknowledging that “you do not fight wars with bank notes,” and that “there is a long way between allocating money and developing physical and human operational capabilities,” Borrell praised the fact that the EU’s spending on defense surpassed the €200 billion-level in 2021 for the first time.
So he’s admitting that they don’t have adequate weapons supplies but saying that the insane war effort in the Ukraine must continue.
It’s insane enough that their weapons supplies have been depleted over this, but to make public statements about it is even crazier. Why would you tell your enemies that you have no more weapons?
These people obviously have no idea what they are doing. These weapons can’t be made out of the ether. They take time, effort and energy to produce. Plus, how many of these weapons now rely on materials and components made in China?
The West is going to lose this conflict and destroy itself in the process of fighting it. There is no coherent plan with what they are doing.
