I understand your feeling but keep in mind that many people live in Venice. Some of them are organizing against the event, it's not fair to wish for a natural disaster.

And why is it important?

Venice's major and italian authorities are using the argument that this event will bring a lot of money in the country to justify it. News like this are evidence of the damage these people are actually creating. 90 private jets for 250 guests is one of the most ridiculous rich people stunt i've ever seen, i think it's important to share to let people aware of this shit happening.

read the article

"Over the past hours, at least 20 tankers took off from various bases across Europe—including Prestwick (UK), Morón (Spain), and Ramstein (Germany)—to support what can now be confirmed as a large-scale redeployment of U.S. fighter jets to the Middle East."

This is not part of that, these tankers are escorting fighters to the middle east

WW3 is any ruler biggest dream because it would grant them the highest amount of power they can get. WW3 won't happen as long as people refuse to go to war because rulers never fight their wars and they need pawns who do die for them. You will get a world war once enough people get brainwashed to fought one. Watch out for government and war propaganda.

If your job is to support a government that murders children you are a criminal and a coward

What got us here is the same two parties cycling in power for a century. If you believe war is red fault alone and that voting blue will change anything, you are part of the problem.

This is really big and scary

There are other countries too that unofficially have nukes

Looks like something that could have been avoided with a longer runaway

Doubling the already over the top european military budget isn't going to fix any of the things in your first list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_highest_military_expenditures

If european countries are concerned with USA instead of doubling their military budget they can simply cut and close the thousands USA military facilities all over europe.

If you cannot discern which regime uses which rhetoric

Since the dawn of man no regime is good.

You are replying in a thread about 34% of Russian strategic Russian bombers being wiped by a "poor" ukraine drone attack.

Same power dynamics since the dawn of man.

Same power dynamics since the dawn of man, rulers use fear to seize power.

And what about US aggression towards parts of the EU like Greenland? You sure you want to decrease military spending against an increasingly facist super power right on your doorstep that has already openly stated to be very much interested in forcefully attaining your overseas territory? I don’t think so.

The US has more than a thousand military facilities all over europe, if they are your concern the best way to defend against them is indeed cuts.

Pacifism, unfortunately, is dead in this new age of multilaterlism and worldwide resurging authoritarianism.

Don't say nonsense please, if you are concerned with authoritarianism you want to cut the military budget to 0 so that no authoritarian ruler can use it.

but not as expensive as Russia invading.

Given ukraine managed to wipe 34% of their strategic missile bombers with a drone operation it sounds like there's room for cuts

The threats used as a leverage to increase the already high military budget of the european union countries are about a widespread invasion of europe and attack to nato.

It's really good news that a military state lost their war assets used to wage war (they should have never been built to begin with) but i'm gonna use this thread to highlight something else:

If 34% of russian strategic missile bombers got destroyed in a ukrainian drone operation, EU governments are simply lying when they say russia is going to invade europe and that we must stack more billions on the ones we already spend in war.
