    You are afraid because politicians told you to be afraid. They don’t want you to notice that you’re getting robbed at home to benefit the weapons industry.

    The reality is that Russia is weaker than everyone expected and they can’t even take on Ukraine. The idea that they would simultaneously start a war with NATO is simply laughable. Even without the US, NATO already spends significantly more on defense than Russia’s full-blown war economy. On top of that, NATO has nuclear weapons.

    Cutting healthcare spending will cost lives. Not your hypothetical lives, but real people who die from curable illnesses while waiting for care. Those deaths are guaranteed.

        This is not a military budget problem, the thing is Spain, or France, Germany… have already powerful enough militaries to have ended the war twenty times over. But wars, as Ukraine has showed, aren’t fought or won with money, but with lads being killed and killing the other side lads. The members of the European militaries live pretty comfortably, a pretty good wage just to play boyscouts, try telling them they have to go to die bleeding in the cold Russian steppe…
