Summary
European officials are preparing a multibillion-dollar defense package to bolster regional security and support Ukraine, announced by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock at the Munich Security Conference.
The package, potentially valued up to 700 billion euros, will fund military training, arms deliveries, and security guarantees amid concerns over Russian aggression and diminishing U.S. contributions to NATO.
The move follows calls for Europe to boost its own defense spending while U.S.-Russian talks, which exclude Ukraine and Europe, on ending the Ukraine conflict continue.
Is your point that Russia should be allowed to steam roll through Ukraine? Europe shouldn’t help their allies and neighbors defend themselves? Standing up to bullies is worse than being a bully?
Genuinely curious if you even have a point to make at all. I hope I’m just interpreting you wrong.
Nobody should help authoritarian governments and nobody should sell weapons to them. Ukranian people and the ukranian government are two different things, same goes for every country.
Nobody is standing up to shit, russians are chilling in saudi arabia docked next to americans yachts bought with money from the military industry.
Stand up against useless wars and military spending

Meanwhile, read about Ukrainian anarchists building drones and sending supplies for their comrades in army.
They know: if you get Putin’s regime deployed on yourself, your chances for peaceful activism tumble down to nothing - you can’t even hold a blank sheet of paper.

World governments don’t care about ukrainians the same way they don’t care about children in gaza getting murdered. They don’t care about democracy either as they are in bed with saudi arabia and other dictatorships.
Watch out when you ear about “anarchists” fighting along side authoritarian governments because that’s something anarchists don’t do by definition.
