The EU is setting up a high-level group of political and military leaders from member states, Ukraine and the UK to speed up efforts to close Europe’s defence capability gaps amid rising Russian threats.

    I’m somewhat skeptical about this and it might mean they are looking for people that can inspire millions of others to throw themselves into the meat grinder and be a meat shield against Russia and anyone else they deem a threat.

      Thats a really strange conclusion to draw from this. Throwing people into a meat grinder has been a outdated long term strategy since at least the Napoleonic wars, maybe even before that. And recently russia has confirmed this to be case.

      “The idea is to give ideas to member states but also EU institutions of what we should do better and faster — to really have tangible results so that we cover the capability gaps we have identified, considering the geopolitical situation”

      what we should do better and faster” they are looking for improvements, not how to convince people to run into machine gun fire. I don’t know where you got the idea that they are trying to find ways to convince people to do that.

      You say that as if it’s up to the EU whether Russia attacks or not. Then again I suppose it is, insofar as si vis pacem, para bellum.
