CNN has become very hawkish.

The funniest thing about the 'pathetic Europe' bit 'leaked' out is that EVERYONE, including Europeans KNOW it's true.
Just look at the amount of people volunteering to join, to the point that conscription keeps being brought up and the lack of internal security due to barbarian invasion like we're having a repeat of the fall of Rome.
The only thing they can do is go 'we're re arming so suck it US!' like how a kid starts cleaning their room finally after tripping on all the trash surrounding them.
They've been intentionally destroying their militaries because the Leftists recognize military service as inherently right-wing. As a result they conduct massive defunding efforts, reduce training and equipment, and then conduct purges via political oversight (which all the same shit they tried to do with the Abolish The Police movement).
The most dangerous military in Europe right now is actually France, which is fucking comical.
Yep and that plan ONLY worked if the US kept footing the bill.
Now that it looks like they're not as much and openly mocking and belittling them for it, they're trapped in a tomb of their own making as they're losing the far left they courted looking like Trump's bitch, they need to increase military despite it's need to be weak to not provide a 'right wing space' at the same time they can't find the recruits because NO ONE trusts them with their lives that way.
I don't think it's intentional, but it's actually a good move to help support the Populist-Nationalist Right internationally. Some of the things Trump has done has not helped, but this will.
Poland has a larger and probably more formidable military. Having been attacked by both their east and west for centuries they understand how to prepare. All men must take training now.
It would not surprise me if Poland has to liberate Europe from Muslim incursion again.
Poland does not have a larger military, and not a more formidable one. France's Navy and Air Force is unquestionably superior. While Poland's Army is larger, the quality of their troops is probably not significantly better than France's, nor better equipped. They have more artillery, tanks, and batteries; but don't forget that France has some of the best Special Forces and Irregular Warfare units in the world.
Poland has a military designed to stall Russia, and that's about it.
Obligatory "history of French warfare" from the old days of the internet:

Every 4 years or so the German military purges right wingers
Slight correction, the most dangerous military in Europe right now is the French Foreign Legion, they rely on foreigners to protect them.
The French Foreign Legion are too small to be a real sized Army, and the French Navy is still very good (for non-US countries)
European governments hate their past, are ashamed by their heritage, they discriminate against their own people. This are not real countries anymore so why would US care about past alliances with entities without past. If European countries are just economical entities then they need to be treated as such. Either it is profitable or they can go fuck a cactus.
The Left was never anti-war.
The entire 10/7 thing showed that they were only ever anti-war because they associated "war" with "bombing brown countries" like it meant during the Bush era most Lefties grew up in.
Once they could openly lust for war against whites like Russia and, to them, Israel they were all for it.
"There are no good Russians" was a quote from a Democratic congressman in the furor of the early war hysteria. The fact that Facebook and Instagram explicitly allowed violent speech against ethnic Russians, not simply just soldiers spoke fucking volumes.
As for 10/7, I consider it proof positive that my "Buy A Galil" mantra was right, and a jew-hating wing of the Left was going to rear it's head back into the fray. I just didn't think they'd do it so suddenly. "There are no civilians in Israel" and "Yes, the children who are settlers are combatants" threw me off. There was no more bleeding heart. The Islamist Left were proud of atrocities, and the Communists just rolled with it. No apologies, and only the smallest denialsim. I didn't expect "Killing civilians is a moral necessity" with such little prompting, on such a wide scale, and I think it caused a lot of jewish Leftists to shit their pants. And, as I said at the time, I think that in the long-term, unwavering American support of Israel is fucking dead, and Israel just saw why. I fully expect Leftists to start screaming "Hitler was right about jews" within the next 10-20 years.
I get why the Ayatolah just killed all of the Leftist revolutionaries as soon as he got into power (and frankly I think that's where the real animosity with Iran comes from). Leftists are quite fickle allies.
"what did you think decolonization meant?"
"has become"? All the networks have always been bloodthirsty. During Trump's first term he shot a bunch of missiles somewhere in the middle east, and for the next 24 hours or so every single network was going on about how he was finally being presidential before they jumped back to default "orange man bad" programming.
How is not liking an obvious negative thing a phobia?
It’s not such a bad thing to borrow a few shekels now and than. You borrow some now, pay me back later with just a little more. You get what you need now and I get a small investment fee, everybody wins.
