While it sucks, Europe has to do it. It's not threatened just by Russia anymore, but by US itself these days

Drumpf is literally every other day threatening to invade Denmark, an EU member for no reason whatsoever. It's quite insane

Also, you never know who Americans could elect next time, or time after that. Maybe someone even more unhinged.

Europe must be able to defend itself

But the latest data shows vaccination rates across the country have fallen below recommended levels.

Data from the UK Health Security Agency shows that 76% of girls in England were vaccinated by the age of 15 in 2024-25, well below the 90% that the World Health Organization (WHO) says is needed to eliminate cervical cancer.

"It's essential that the UK Government and health systems urgently address this with targeted action to reach communities where uptake is the lowest," says Michelle Mitchell at Cancer Research UK.

Wait, it's not mandatory? It should be for eligible groups of people, there is no reason people should be dying from preventable diseases

Why would they spend enormous amount of money that they don't have developing their own jets, when they could just invest heavily into drone industry that they already have and it's quite advanced, cheaper and gives better results...

Like, Iran won the war just by using dirt-cheap drones and missiles of questionable quality, against much more advanced US-Israeli airforce and navy.. Those are still relevant, but in modern warfare drones seem to be kings of the battlefield

I'll probably be downvoted for this—and it is pretty provocative to be fair—but I'd rather have a (potential) rapist than a liberal

So basically you don't want to win, right? It's much more important to 'own the libs' than to win and govern? Progressive rapist will never win.

How about progressives start vetting their candidates first before handing them their full support?

This guy has seemed fishy to me since the beginning, but one has to wonder - how is it possible that Democrats didn't do background check on their candidate? Or they did and let this happen to hurt the left?

Too many red flags floating above his head, too many coincidences, that I find it hard to believe nobody knew about this.

Could be wrong obviously, but this is quite a bad look for Dems and especially progressive wing
