Reply to comment by jimsmoments89 in Russia fires 100 missiles from air and sea - Ukraine by RandomForks

Depleting Russia might be part of the reason but a bigger one probably are internal politics of various NATO countries. Militarized Ukraine is no threat to EU, where did you get that idea? After the war or after they kick the Russians out they will need substantial forces and high-tech weapons to prevent any further conflicts and loss of life.

Any country that is more militarized than their neighbours is a potential to threat to those neighbours unless there is a balance. Nothing against Ukraine per se.

Ukraine only needs to reclaim their territory and join NATO. They don't need to have the 3rd largest military in the world after that

Because surely Russia won't attack a third time

Right, but with NATO involved in Ukraines defense as a de factor member, what Ukraine has in military material matters not as much.

Safe to say it will still be the largest in Europe.

To join NATO you have to have a percentage of gdp to war funds and all their equipment has to match nato the all nato countries have to agree which means even politics matter as if you angered another country in the past the can deny you so there is a lot to it
