The EU's strategy for dealing with the purchase, supply and distribution of COVID vaccines - approved by each of the EU member states - suggests that they will be quite capable of co-ordinating the stockpiling of emergency supplies if approved and necessary. 

 

There appear to be €88 billions worth of counter examples to your suggestion that the EU isn't helping Ukraine in the conflict with Russia.

 

Maybe the EU learnt something after its uselessness was displayed during 2020?

Based on a report by Newsweek 2024-11-02


Newsweek, essentially a right wing shill today. Perhaps a presidential candidate can negotiate and with a bit of give and take to defuse the crisis, that Newsweek claims exists, but doesn't. Perhaps giving Ukraine to Prince Vlad Putin. Dismantling NATO, then proclaiming 'Peace in our Time" :biggrin:

What will right wing shills will come up with next. Giving Taiwan to Celestial Ruler Xi?!

This article refers to the initial response to the COVID outbreak. As clearly stated, I was referring to the deployment of the vaccines.

 

Btw: Did you notice that the title of the piece is, 'How Europe failed the Corona virus test'? That's Europe as a whole - including the UK under Boris Johnson's watch - and not just the EU. Indeed the article states that the EU (Commission) had little authority over health matters at the time.

 

A paragraph from the link is more explicit than the title:

 

EU nations, despite their pledge to an ever-closer union, reacted selfishly and chaotically once the threat became evident. Health ministers — four of whom quit or were fired during the crisis — bickered. Governments misled Brussels about their preparedness, then hoarded essential equipment and haphazardly shut their borders, disrupting commerce and stranding citizens.

It's time for the EU to wake up to the new reality, and the dangers arising both from the East (Russia, China), and the West (Trump and the electorate supporting him).

But together the EU countries can and will fend off any aggression to its territorial integrity and independence.

 

What danger is the EU facing from China? I guess the case can be made with regards to job losses and de-industrialisation and weakening economies.

The Eu is insane, they started this proxy war spending billions of dollars on innocent tax payers money , NATO and the USA ,Britain, and all who support this madness caused by these facist neo Nazi Ukrainian maniacs only want a slice of the Ukraine as it is a bread basket and rich in minerals etc..

 

If they think that they can push Russia away and plant missiles along its border and control Ukraine they are mad.

Russia will never permit this ,its obvious no matter how much money they poor into Ukraine,(syphoned off by thugs selling on the weapons and stealing the money) they are even more insane.

We now are now in a proxy third world war, that could get very nasty, we never asked for this , but every country that is involved is paying exorbitant food prices and petrol and gas prices.

In NZ its pushing pensioners out of their homes as they can not afford to live on pensions anymore as food (with the help of greedy price gougers) keeps rising through the roof and fertilizer has more than doubled.

 

Russia is now making huge advances into Ukraine everyday, destroying the weapons' sent to them, they have no replacement troops, they are loosing big time, what do the mad idiots from NATO do now , send in euro troops, thats the final thing that will start all out war, people dont want this, its the last thing ordinary people want, if they to are also mad and think Russia ,which now has Korean troops helping will back down think again .

Russia never backed down in the second world war and saved Europe from defeat from the Nazis.

Now mad lunatic neo Nazis are being backed by Europe to fight Russia.

 

All the documentaries that show the slaughter of Russian people in Ukraine Russian territories and anyone who spoke Russian have been taken from social media. Rt has been banned but you can still watch it .

This mass murder went on for years, Putin finally has had enough, NATO and the EU are destroying the world, not to mention the fascist maniacs in Israel.

America has had its nose stuck into every conflict in the middle east for years causing mayhem, who gave ISIS all the weapons and Toyota trucks to create terrorism throughout the world, most of ISIS was made up of mercenaries.

 

I hope Trump if elected will stop sending money and weapons' To Ukraine and stop this madness before WW3 breaks into full swing.,

A new report has advised citizens of the European Union to stockpile emergency supplies in anticipation of potential conflict or other severe crises.

Trying to boost sales, get the autumn stock off the shelves in readiness for Christmas

I understand your position, the logic conclusion of an otherwise deranged mind. Stop sending money and weapons to Ukraine it's the only chance the Kremlin has to win this war, given how antiquate its weaponry is, and defective the weapons it receives from the DPKR are.

 

On one thing however you are wrong. This is not Russia's war against Ukraine or the West. Russians simply refuse to take part in it (this was not the case of the fight against Nazi-Fascism).

This is Putin's war against Ukraine. The proof is that those who are fighting are, handsomely rewarded and paid, prisoners sentenced to life without parole, rapists, murderous criminals, Tatars, Chechens, Bashkirs, Chuvash, Avars, Dargins, Kazakhs and, now that Putin is running out of them, North Koreans.

This is spelling out loud and clear how unjust and criminal this war is, even in the minds of the majority of the Russian people, at least of those who don't still live in caves.

When the Western World would finally understand how much taxes ( wage, company profit, dividend) and contributions to social welfare they export by purchasing Chinese goods , everybody would immediately sstart to think about the prsoparity of themselves and their (grand) children, and would buy only "local" goods. Unfortunartely all think ONLY of the here and now, so continue to transfer their "make" industry abroad.

And the following paragraph states the following, "“I think it is only honest to admit that nobody expected that the dimensions of this outbreak would be such here in Europe ...", so why single out the EU for criticism?

 

In any event, it's unclear how any of this relates to the current topic?
