Failing to seize Russian assets, Brussels has pushed member states into underwriting a massive loan to keep the war going: Ukrainians will continue to die while European taxpayers will foot the bill
"....If there is a silver lining to this grim trajectory, it is that the recklessness of these choices will only exacerbate the contradictions of a project that is pushing the continent to the brink, ultimately forcing a reckoning — within member states and among Europe’s citizens alike..."
I find this to be overly optimistic. It's the opposite IMO.
This supposed loan to UKraine is a direct transfer from the pockets of EU citizens, to a tiny financial elite that own US and European weapons makers.
The it is not going to produce a backlash against authoritarianism but quite the opposite; an embrace of warfare and a suspension of democracy. And the psycopaths in charge have designed it this way.
The mecahanism is that, later, in unison, they will remove Zelensky, declare a collapse in Ukraine, say that Ukraine cant pay and spring on Europeans massive synchronised cuts in social services plus tax rises on ordinary income. And point at " Russia" as the culprit.
They then offer a "solution": send your children to attack Russia, and accept bombs raining upon your own heads - in best case - and in worst and most likely case nuclear anhilation. Because clearly a mass European attack on Russia, which would be outmanbed, could only prroduce that result.
Meanwhile the American will count their money and accept they are on a burning radioactive planet - they dont care anyway.
EU neocons aka 'pro-war lobby' know well what they are doing: setting up a 50 years war, so they'll be continuing to scam Europe's (failing) resources.
I have written this yesterday, have a look and I believe the conclusion is basically the same. https://open.substack.com/pub/sovereigntylens/p/quo-vadis-europe?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&shareImageVariant=overlay&r=2qsm7e
Well, crap. Now I have to side with Vicky Nuland's proclamation: "Fuck the EU!"
