Pretending like the EU is working for the interests of EU members: What exactly is the argument for giving them 500 milliard euro in aid, and agreeing to buy their inferior products for super critical uses?

How can von der Leyen and co. expect us to believe they could go any higher and still afford to buy any European products?

China is selling higher quality energy equipment for a fraction of the price, and Russia is selling competitive military equipment for a fraction of the price. Not to mention the inherit security risk of buying foreign military equipment to begin with.
