European Parliament blocks decision on EU Council budget due to Patriot for Ukraine

1. This is big

   no budget until 6-8 new batteries have been delivered

2. That would have been nice before all the large power generating stations were hit. Just saying

3. Good 😀

   but like keep it coming. Giving little, arguing whether more should be given or not, and expecting big results didn’t really work so far.

4. Ukrainians have been waiting for help for too long, defending the Helm’s Deep alone – it’s about time for riders of Rohan to come to the rescue – dawn is coming.

5. >The call by the European parliamentarian was supported by 515 lawmakers, with 62 voting “against.”

   And with a huge margin too. That is basically al the groups in the parliament minus some on the far right and far left. That is a good sign. More pressure is needed as Ukraine is in dire need of support.

6. Question: i know there is a shortage of systems but are there eneogh missles to supply these systems?

7. Ukrainians are dying to protect their country and shield Europe from Russia agression, it is the least we can do.

8. Is there a fucking reliable source? Because I searched google and could only find ukrainian sources.

   Since I hope press in Ukraine doesn’t know what happens in UE before ourselves and our own press, I can only think that is fake news, right now.

9. Question: Would the delivery still require unanimity in the Council? Because if yes then we-know-who will veto it

10. This is the EU’s war too. Better start fighting it now rather than doing the usual EU thing and waiting until it’s too late. The US isn’t going to help us with this.

11. Wtf send those goddamn missiles already! What the hell are we waiting for?

12. We should all help that country. Thank you Europe.

13. If this is Guy Verhofstadt’s last major move before he retires from politics, it might be one of his best ones yet.

14. Bravo!

15. Countries that have sent Patriot systems to Ukraine:

    – Germany: 2 batteries + 2 extra launchers

    – US: 1 battery

    – Netherlands: 2 launchers

    EU members that have Patriot systems that so far refuse:

    – Greece

    – Poland

    – Romania

    – Spain

    – Sweden

16. Feels like far left and far right parties are the problems. These groups are damaging the world and are hater by rational people.
