European leadership, including European mainstream media is decrepit. The people are distracted and cowed for the moment, but hopefully this will not last too long.

"European leadership, including European mainstream media is decrepit."

This is true for the entirety of the West.

"The people are distracted and cowed for the moment, but hopefully this will not last too long."

I am not as sanguine as you.

I understand. Though it appears unrealistic, I believe change is possible, even if unlikely. Hope is all we are left with, the alternative is despair which for me is unacceptable.

Things will not change without concerted effort.

War is the destruction of wealth. Funds dedicated to the production of destructive tools/equipment/vehicles/weapons have an exponentially negative impact on the growth of a nation. Any Euro directed toward military has negative impact on the standard of living.

Not for the elite.

Yes, for the proles — not those in control.

The EU is doing nothing but bankrupting itself. Government spending, at best, a temporary stimulus. This also means other priorities will be either shortchanged or debt will soar, which is most likely. The larger the government, the more wasteful the spending.

Those in control are benefiting immensely; the proles not so much.

Excellent video. Thanks Lena!

"Europe is no longer treating war solely as a security issue. It is treating military expenditures as economic strategy and that represents one of the defining geoeconomic transformations of the 21st century. The question is no longer whether Europe's economy is changing; the real question is how permanent this transformation will ultimately become? "
