Raw LLM Responses

> the EU should win. Sure the EU could win but what would be the cost of winning versus the cost of deterring? Ukraine has largely halted the Russian advances but they've suffered 400,000 casualties, seen numerous cities leveled, had millions of Ukrainians flee into exile and have seen much of their land ruined. It's easier and cheaper to deter an enemy from invading than it is to stop an actual invasion. It's also easier and cheaper to prevent land from falling in a war rather than losing and retaking it after you've rearmed. Modern militaries also take years to scale up and so the sensible thing for Europe to do now is to scale up so that they can be ready in 2026 and 2027 for whatever comes. In 2008 Russia invaded Georgia and began rearming extensively. In 2008 European/Canadian NATO spending was cut and then it continued to be cut every year for the next six years. It didn't reach back to 08 levels until 2018 (adjusted for inflation). Europe needs to rearm and fast.
