I don't know what atmosphere there is in the south of the Bidasoa, but at least in the north is the word "war." In the orders of December 31, 2023, President Macron could seven times correct the word "rearmament." They say that we need to channel the ‘war economy’, and that is what they dealt with at the European summit on 21 and 22 March. By definition, the war economy is the decision and political planning to devote the economy and industry primarily to armaments. "If we want peace, we have to prepare for war." These are the words of the President of the European Council. A strange logic, the truth -- but in that we're doing a dangerous halt to the couple, namely Vladimir Putini, the idea of going into war. Since the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, the fact that the finances and production of war, as well as the number of soldiers, leads us to think, perhaps unequivocally, that peace is due to not wanting to prepare for war… But, step by step. The debate has no place: we must banish, strengthen and arm defence at European level, or yes, by a decision of 27 authorities who would never feel the smell of trench. These are some of the decisions taken at the Brussels summit: some of the assets of frozen Russia will be allocated to the armory; the financing of the European Investment Bank will be extended to the armory; the common debt is assumed and Europe refers to a loan of EUR 100 billion.
Everything is geopolitics and economics. In the US, Trump is also a threat to return to power after the need for autonomy for Brussels weaponry. Because 78 percent of gun purchases have been made outside Europe, mainly to the United States, since Europe began the war in Ukraine. Brussels needs Made in Europe weapons for Kiev and then for him. Since the beginning of the war, the EU, the Member States and the financial institutions have allocated EUR 85 billion to Kiev, either as financial, military or human support, and Brussels has chosen to allocate another EUR 50 billion on 1 February. On 13 March it also decided to allocate another EUR 5 billion to arms in Kiev. It's a fortune. Don’t worry: investment funds and private companies will be there, ready to receive these public funding and demands. Because war is an opportunity to make fortune (economy).
