The war in Ukraine has shifted thinking — both among politicians and the public — on the need to spend more on defense.

The European public and politicians are in agreement that EU countries should do more to increase weapons production.

That’s according to the results of the latest Eurobarometer poll, obtained in advance by POLITICO Playbook, and a draft of the EU’s Strategic Agenda seen by POLITICO.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine more than two years ago has dramatically shifted the rhetoric around defense spending, pushing it up the agenda across the bloc — often at the expense of other policy areas like tackling climate change.

    Where is the war?

    Are you really this obtuse in real life, or do you just play idiot on the internet?

      The war is in Ukraine. The guy you’re talking about liking war isn’t.

      That you can’t express yourself clearly doesn’t make ME an obtuse idiot. That you don’t understand it when I explain your mistake to you makes SOMEONE an idiot, though…

      Anyways, it’s clear that you aren’t arguing in good faith and aren’t going to either, so I’m gonna stop wasting any more of my time on you. Have the day you deserve.

        You’re obtuse because of the way you elected to read my comment, and to focus on your own interpretation of it, rather than own your own mistake: Claiming everyone hates war.

        See that’s what a good idiot does, learns to call attention elsewhere instead of letting the light shine on his own mistakes. It’s a defense mechanism to make you feel “right”.

        Keep on then. Obtuse user blocked.
