The Europeans have been training them too, and they're also competent. If you're suggesting that's a replacement for actually spending anything, the "paid in gumption" idea was lame when we were selling it to the US and is definitely lame when we're selling it to people who might have to rescue us from the US.

The article suggests oil and space for European air training exercises in our hinterland. Critical minerals have been brought up before. I just don't know if that will be enough, given that they're still thinking to some degree that they can avoid the whole situation on our continent.
