Germany’s defence chief says the level to which Russia is building up its military, which he categorized as an “imminent threat,” is deeply concerning to him.
Once the war is over and Russia doesn’t do that, what will European leaders do? How will they justify everything they’ve done?
Easy. Say slashing social benefits and increasing defense spending as well as supporting Ukraine worked. That Ukraine weakened Russia enough and NATO increased their defense enough that they’ve successfully dissuaded them from attacking …for now. Which is why even more money must be given to the war machine and suspicion and hatred of Russians must continue because it’s only a momentary reprieve.
How many people believe this at the end when all is said and done is a big question mark but that’s how they’d spin it and there are a kind of liberal who will nod along and absolutely believe this.
This is exactly what’s gonna happen. That’s what scares ME. This is why we (communists) need to organise and mobilize all over Europe. Funnily enough, Trump’s tariffs are actually playing in our favour and will help us FINALLY distance ourselves from the US (hopefully forever)
