>>510603709 (OP)They arenโt. The expansion of the military sector, the rearmament, the new war time and surveillance powers are not to keep the Russians in check.
They are preparing for their own to rise up. France is cutting deep into social security, abolishing to holidays, wants to cut pensions and raise taxes on electricity to keep going.
The same is true for Germany. The country is bankrupt, millions of tax paying boomers are transitioning into tax taking pensioners.
The EU just announced another trillion in debt, more taxes, more in depth surveillance, more regulation.
The system will come down. Not a single EU soldier will march against Russia. They will march against their own when it does.
