nah man, I can't really follow your train of thought on any issue. I'm saying Europe's defence is nonexistent by being tied to an insufficient industrial base in both EU and US by virtue of NATO. The rare-earth minerals exist in the ground in both areas evidently, but neither have the industrial capacity to acquire or refine them to supply their defence industries in any meaningful amount, as China controls most of the global supply of these. I'd support my country (after a communist revolution, of course) as it tried to distance itself from the US, NATO and EU, as these all serve only to make our lives worse; I'd also support it in an endeavour to close its ties to China, as having a functional military would be needed to defend itself from the genocidal empire that is the US/EU and NATO. As it stands, though, I am opposed to any and all increases in military spending, as it will only serve the ruling class to kill more innocents, and will eventually provide nothing of worth for me, nor will it increase the quality of life any outside the ruling class.
