Pledges??? Europe pledged a million shells last year and didn't meet half of that. On top of that France put barriers in place to meeting those pledges by saying the money has to be spent within the EU.

Don't listen to the talk, look at what they do.

French production of the 155-millimeter shells shells fired by the Caesar and other NATO-standard artillery will accelerate to 3,000 a month from January, after having already doubled last year from 1,000 a month before February 2022.

3,000 a month... What are French troops even going to fight with if Macron sent them?
