    I’m sure starving and freezing people in Europe will be thrilled to find out that whatever remaining resources Europe has are going towards the military industrial complex.

      They just might, though, depending on the spin. History is a spiral. There’s a technique that’s been used since the Roman Republic at least.

      1. Crash whatever social safety the exploited classes had and increase the flow of wealth upward
      2. Offer various goodies and bonuses for joining the military
      3. Send them somewhere far to defend the interests of the ruling class

      That’s how the legions did it. That’s how USA does it. That’s what the Russian government been attempting for some time.

        I think that’s definitely the plan and a lot of Europeans have been brainwashed to go along with it. Just look at people like @Kulun@mander.xyz as an example. That guy would die for his NATO masters if they told him to.

        • You know, I like to come to this community to lib watch from time to time but I can only see the person you linked if I click on the link on your comment. mander.xyz isn’t blocked from lemmygrad and I don’t have the user blocked in my settings, so I have no idea why I can’t see this person.

          I don’t even live in a NATO country, unlike you, who is supporting NATO with your taxes, right?
