WOW we bought weapons! It’s almost like we have a gigantic threat looming over us! We, unlike Russians, don’t start wars anymore. We live in democracies where war is extremely unpopular. It’s insane to say that we would start a war just to use the weapons we bought for safety.
EU countries bought a ton of weapons already, it’d be a waste not to use them.
Also just the rule of capital loving war - we’re currently in a profit rate crisis, and war is really good to prop up the economy.
Also, having millions of working class soldiers and conscripts get put in the meaningless meat grinder is a sport for many nation-states.
