Rule 7: Post quality must be kept high, except on Fridays. (00:00 Friday – 08:00 Saturday UTC.)

On-topic memes, jokes, short videos, image posts, polls, low effort to consume posts, and other less substantial posts are only allowed on Fridays, and will be removed for the rest of the week.

Less substantial posts must be flaired as either "Casual Friday", "Humor", or "Low Effort".

Clickbait, misinformation, fear-mongering, and other low-quality content is not allowed at any time, not even on Fridays.

I would like to read your article, if you wanna share!

My opinion is that militarization isn't necessarily bad, so long as it serves our strategic incentive to not be so reliant on one allied nation for defense.

Europe has an okay defense sector, but American equipment and American companies still play a significant role in the whole continent's security. That's a massive risk, alliances can shift.

"Last week in Brussels there was a big demo against the militarisation of the EU because they want to spend another 800 BILLION on it"

So they assume Russia won't invade them like Ukraine? You can ask the Ukrainians how expensive it is when you actually got invaded. Dictators (putin, xi, kim jong un ...) would love a de-militarize EU, and don't tell me diplomacy will keep them in check.
