Of the eight demonstrators who showed up in Amsterdam, five were Dutch and two were Russian. The identity of one remains unverified by the Kyiv Independent.

"Ukraine is evil for dutch taxpayers"

Ukraine might be the most efficient user of taxpayer money considering we spent 2 million euros renaming the "ministry of safety and justice" into "ministry of justice and safety"

Saying this as a dutch taxpayers im happy when it gets spend on helping Ukraine.

(Also propagandists like to think that when x amout of money is being send to Ukraine its train cars full of cash, when in fact its military equipment)

Fair enough, it really depends on how you count. I grouped all variants under a single tank, if you count each variant differently then the number will be far greater indeed.

From what i can find T-80 is not in active service with any EU country and im really quite surprised M48's are still used in active service.

What countries are included in "Europe"?

As far as i know there are currently 6 tanks in the EU in active service.

Leopard 2 (Germany) Leclerc (France) M1 Abrams (United States) K2 Black Panther (South Korea) T-72 (Soviet Union) C1 Ariete (Italy)

Good stuff, reaming by buying foreign equipment is only kicking the can down the line.

Investing into defense industry that can build new weapons is far stronger then temporarily buying weapons.

I don't use mint so this might be blatantly incorrect but after a bit of searching on mint's release schedule I would assume gimp 3.0 will arrive with the 22.2 or 22.3 version. With 22.2 expected at middle 2025 and 22.3 at start 2026.

Well a pro-trump anti-eu politician probably sees little reason to change to european/foss

Not very surprising tbh, Israel also realizes that nobody is going to stop them.

Agreements like this are only worth the paper they are signed on if there is no international community to enforce them.

How about Polish nukes on Polish soil? Trump is sooner going to launch a nuke at Warsaw then his buddy Putin in Moscow.
