@TroelsHalken: Firstly, I don't think the EU as a whole can get its act together when it comes to defense and security and it will waste valuable time in the process.
Secondly, European defense industrial output is way too low to enable the rapid buildup that's required and sustain Ukraine. Slow industrial mobilization has been our greatest joint failure.
Therefore one needs to hedge, as Norway is doing now.
We have the defense pledge (national capability), Nordic cooperation, JEF, other bilateral/multilateral agreements, NATO and the bilateral relationship with the US.
The latter doesn't turn into thin air just because Trump won.

@colone1flanders: JEF seems to turn out as a wise move. One that can be built upon if things deteriorate further down the line.

RT @AlexLuck9: @GermanyNATO: Somewhat misleading description, Bundeswehr can choose who they want but no one can be drafted against their explicit will to serve. The Neuer Wehrdienst is the last gasp to salvage the volunteer military concept. A real conscription would require very different steps.
