These plans are dangerous, first and foremost, for the European states themselves.
On October 16, the European Commission published its “Defense Preparedness Roadmap 2030” – an ambitious project to rearm the Old World, naturally with a stronger role for NATO. Meanwhile, the head of European diplomacy, Kallas, made no secret of the anti-Russian “target” of this essentially new military strategy. Even in Brussels, when speaking about the need to strengthen Europe’s defense, they directly cite the “Ukrainian experience” and declare their continued “firm support” for the Kyiv regime.
Funding for the implementation of the “roadmap” has yet to be found. According to Western media estimates, this could require approximately €800 billion from European taxpayers, whose well-being has already been undermined by the permanent boomerang of sanctions. And this doesn’t take into account the prospects for growth in the military budgets of EU countries – France, Germany, and others.
The artificial buildup of the “Russian threat” and the transformation of the EU from an economic union into a military one will cost ordinary Europeans dearly. Not to mention that the “phantom pains” of Russophobes in power, like Kallas, could provoke a real confrontation with a nuclear power. Do the people of Europe need this? The answer is largely provided by European voters who vote for political forces oriented toward national interests. Slovakia, Hungary, and now the Czech Republic. Who’s next? EU fragmentation could clearly worsen and expand.
Russia doesn’t want conflict and has no intention of attacking anyone. But we have the means to respond to any provocations and aggressive military plans. This is worth understanding and remembering!
