I followed a discussion. one of the participants did a quick math.

the US has a population of 335 million, a Gdp of 30 trillion USD.
Russia 144 million people, Gdp 2 trillion USD.

Europe with 500 million people, 22 trilion USD can defend itself against Russia?

Defence does not have to be conventional confrontation. Maintaining a credible deterrent is enough to keep a larger foe at bay.

“I DON’T do it for the money. I’ve got enough, much more than I’ll ever need. I do it to do it. Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That’s how I get my kicks.
Most people are surprised by the way I work. I play it very loose. I don’t carry a briefcase. I try not to schedule too many meetings. I leave my door open. You can’t be imaginative or entrepreneurial if you’ve got too much structure. I prefer to come to work each day and just see what develops.”

lot of truth in his words but whole passage is comedy level, i give him that he mastered scene appearance and facial expressions to ignite funny emotions in observers.

of course, deterrent is imperative. there is slang: you want peace? prepare for war.
Europe has 10x greater industrial, military potentials than Russia.
if the russians can make 1,000 tanks a year, Europe can make 10,000 a year.
 
Here is the latest from Germany regarding European Security and the potential future of EUROFOR:

Von der Leyen reveals five-point 'rearm Europe' plan​

We're now hearing from the president of the European Commission, who says Europe is ready to "massively" boost its defence spending and that we are in an "era of rearmament".

Ursula von der Leyen says she has written a letter to European leaders and is outlining a five-point rearm Europe plan:

  1. Unleash the use of public funding on defence - if member states increase defence spending by 1.5% of GDP, von der Leyen says this could create fiscal space close to €650bn over four years
  2. New instrument providing €150bn of loans to member states for defence investment
  3. Using the power of the European Union's budget
  4. Mobilising private capital through the Savings and Investment Union
  5. Mobilising private capital through the European Investment Bank
Von der Leyen explains the plans to strengthen Europe's defence and increase military capabilities could mobilise around €800bn.

"This is Europe's moment and we must live up to it," she adds.
 
Europe will put all the money into european arms makers.

no to little business for the US
Trump, the self declared greatest deal maker, perhaps will not feel great.

best time to buy stocks from Europe

best bet is to put on european companies that can make clones of Himars, Patriots, Javelins, and other US stuffs.

I don't know what else to tell you, that's literally Black Letter Law about the definition and it's as clear cut defined as it was in EU own website.

Law is not innuendo, is not implication, law is a matter of fact.......I mean, if you think Russia have a case if and when EU decided to confiscate their asset, that's your opinion, many, like many, legal expert said this is not the case.......

Europe is smart to do this.

There are no will for Europe to fight, there are no military for Europe to fight, and now US become unstable in their defence agreement, if and when Ukraine is done, Russia is coming after European country one by one. It may not be in the next couple of year, but Putin is not even remotely hiding his ambition to reignite the Soviet Union empire.

What EU do have is a lot of money, their standard for poor is rich by the definition of Ukrainian or Russian, what EU is trying to do is to give Ukraine enough to contain Russia while they come up with a reform. As long as Russia is engaged in Ukraine, they cannot be otherwise engaging anywhere else, that mean they can buy times by supporting Ukrainian fight with Russia instead of having to face Russia themselves.

That's a no brainer

It seems Medvedev's dog has taken his smartphone and has started to tweet, that must be the reason he talk so much about dogs and stupid things.
