wait, so the reason eurofags can get away with hardcore socialism is because they spend practically nothing on military defense?

Lok'Tar, friend
>americans believe that russia would simply sweep across europe if it wasnt for their freedoms, not because it has an economy smaller than italy and a rusted military that couldn't fight georgia properly

>britbongs don't actually believe a much more militarized nation could easily take any piece of land they want(even small south american islands), even if its more than 12000 km
oh wait, its entirely possible
I just wish we had hardcore socialism

>amerifag doesn't know that europe has nukes and a war between 2 nations that have nukes is mutual destruction and the russians arent crazy like in command and conquer red alert

>wasting nuclear arsenal to defend modest encroachments into sovereign territory
holy fuck you guys really are strategy noobs
>>60478644
do you think countries in europe will go down without a bang? if they see nothing but defeat infront of them they would just fire the nukes at each other
plus even with their current military budget the EU can easily beat Russia without US help
it'd be a world war naturally tho
The reason is because it's far away some socialism and Europe became rich through capitalism.
We're already seeing signs of decline thanks to socialist policies and it's not going to become any better in the future.

If you hear Putinbots talk, you'd swear their army is still as strong as it was in 1975.
Military spending in the first world probably isn't as much as you think it is, even in your own country.

Excuse me? By some measures we spend more than Russia on defence.
Also

>hardcore socialism
Not quite. Only France, Finland and a few assorted meme countries have a particularly large State. The British State will be as small as the USA's before long

Here's UK defence spending in the context of total government spending.
It's around 5% of the budget and 2% of GDP. In comparison defence is closer to 20% of the USA's budget.
So not only do we ALREADY spend a considerable amount, but the British government can increase defence spending as a proportion of the budget quite a lot before it becomes unreasonable.
E.g., in Russia, they spend almost 50% of the total budget on military. Increasing that would put insane pressure of the remaining budget. In contrast, the UK could double military spending from today's amount and it would still only be 10% of the budget. Reasonable enough.

In Sweden or Europe as a whole?
