      He’s a боль in the ass.

      From a stateist perspective with the broadly know state of the Polish army rejecting any source of finance for it is borderline treason. And his sode basically claims the problem is that we have to necesarly buy american equipment. Which they did when in goverment underminding long term programs and getting less for more, so now we have unarmed helicopters and tanks we cant roll through half of the local land features.

    People seem to be confused. This is not Poland blocking EU defense funding. This is Polish president blocking access to EU money for Poland. It’s a internal thing affecting only Poland. There’s more money in the defense fund and other countries will access it without issues. The 40B was assigned to Poland which was supposed to be the biggest recipient but because of this veto they will most probably receive less. And it’s not a gift. EU is borrowing money and lending it to individual countries on preferential terms.
