      This has made us all weaker. But to quote one EU diplomat angrily speaking to the Financial Times, the figure demanded from the UK was ‘completely and utterly ridiculous’.

      *(edit)* to clarify because people seemingly keep misreading this, it was the number the EU Commission demanded that the UK pay to the EU which was ridiculous.

      Can’t we just sign up for a free 30 day trial before a war, then cancel at the end?

      Although disappointing, the situation makes sense. The fund covers both procurement activities and the development of internal defense capabilities. And UK decided to be out not in.

      So EU countries have two pots of money, X which is their regular military budget that they can spend however they want, and Y which is borrowing from this scheme that has strings attached. They were going to do a certain amount of spending from X anyway which would qualify for pot Y. Is there anything to stop them allocating from X to Y any spending which qualifies for Y and increasing spending with British companies that’s only possible because of the new pot Y but allocating it to X?

      >The lack of agreement limits the total value of any weapons or parts that UK-based firms will be able to contribute to projects.

      You would think that EU nations would be allowed to just buy the best available? It is bizarre that with a conflict on their doorstep, they are still putting a cash-grab and bureaucracy above defence. Have they learned nothing from the past few years?

      Call their bluff? Say UK will defend its own shores and nothing more. Yes the Irish Republic would have to monitor its own airspace finally.

      Honestly, the EU fucking sucks. Still buying russian oil and gas while moaning about US uselessness.

      The whole EU system is a bunch of broken diplomats looking to fuck each other over.
