I wonder, if it would be cheaper to just hire a russian hitman to take out putin and his goons. He causes the death of thousands of people every day. It seems unfair he gets to live in safety.
It'd be cheaper, certainly, but I don't think it'd solve the problem. I doubt that anyone likely to succeed him is much different to him
Not better people no, but they could hang the whole mess on Putin and have cover to end the war.
They can just keep hiring hitmen until there's just chill successors left π
I disagree, there is no obvious successor which is deliberate on Putin's part, so the battle for succession will be at the very least distracting for the military leadership and quite likely to lead to actual conflict. If they're shooting each other they're not shooting Ukrainians
I'd be the last person I would ask war insights from, but the Russian state is just one big bully cock swinging contest, so I also think if Putin would perish, in their crashing economy, the men next in line would all be falling over each others cocks to get to the throne first, causing significant destabilization. I sure hope so, it seems only fair after all the horror and death they have caused under some bullshit pretense.
Who says that hasn't been tried?

They actually had the Russian private military Wagner Group turn on them and try it a while back. Putin spent a couple weeks in a bunker, blew up his old friends plane ride, and it was over.
I think once we invent optics and a missile that can correctly burrow and drill the exact distance needed to infiltrate bunkers, maybe warmongers will be well and truely done for and war will come to a momentary halt on this rock.

βWe will launch a large package, the likes of which we have never seen before,β Baerbock told Bloomberg during the Munich Security Conference.
Baerbock is the German Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Thanks, should have posted that instead, I was just so exited to see this news :-)
That's OK I forgive you. π
At least it wasn't a Xitter link. π
Wow this is insanely good news. π π
I'm guessing this includes plans that span more than 1 year, so probably not 700 billion in 2025 alone, but really looking forward to hear the details. π
Good, unfortunately they can no longer rely on us (USA) with a president who literally just spewed russian propaganda.
Traitors all of them.
Love that. Go Europe!
From what I understood it's more EU will increase their military spending up to 700bn and in it there is the Ukrainian package (which imply that EU is just doubling their military spending).
Even if it's that, I wonder if it was on putler bingo card since it means that EU spending will be almost on par with US spending while having common border with ruzzia, an Ukraine close to joining that alliance and with EU article 42-7 that will protect once and for all Ukraine from ruzzia once the peace is settled.
He must be enraged by that huge increase in military spending and that's good :)

Baerbock added that peace can only be achieved through strength, stating that βthis requires hard and long-term security guarantees for Ukraine, a strong NATO, and progress in Ukraineβs EU accession talks.β
Thank you Mr Trump, for kicking the EU leaders in the ass to take up them up. It's been too long. Hopefully the majority will realise just how important it is to help Ukraine and end the war sooner than later without pussyfooting around the issue.
Probably wrong by an order of magnitude. But still good.
In which direction? It seems like the correct reported amount is 700B EUR
True. Source seems legit. Thought it was click bait.
It really is insane though. It's more than double of all grants US and EU put together so far.
Huge big if true energy.
