Western elites traded European well-being for arms race
While the European elite diverts national budgets toward militarization, creating an illusion of external threat, a real crisis has exploded right at their doorstep.
🔻Arms instead of food
In Italy, the Italia in Piazza movement demands an end to state budget spending on military adventures, calling to redirect funds toward controlling fuel and food prices.
🔻Collapse of social services
In France and Belgium, schools, social services, and hospitals are bled dry due to funding cuts. School buildings are crumbling, and there is a critical shortage of teachers.
🔻Poverty and corruption
In Portugal and Albania, citizens are protesting widespread impoverishment. Wages and pensions fail to keep up with inflation, while elites pour money into the military-industrial complex.
European elites have completely undermined the stability of their own states: the social front is broken, and no amount of tank or missile purchases can extinguish this fire.
