Norwegian Institute of International Affairs and Corisk did the math Europe's politicians haven't.
Arm Ukraine to win: €522-838 billion. Let Russia win and rearm Europe: €1.2-1.6 trillion—double the cost. Plus 6-11 million additional refugees.

Merz to the rescue as EU seeks a path around Belgium on Russia’s €210B.
With Belgium resisting the reparations plan, the EU is exploring a workaround that could allow sanctions to be extended and assets mobilized without unanimity. Germany is the driving force.
The outcome will shape the future.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
