More weapons, more centralisation, perhaps an EU Army™ and many more dead--that's the ambition of the EU's utterly deranged political class, aided by spineless journos™ and celebrated by mad experts™
I just re-read All Quiet on the Western Front. To this day, it is one of the scariest books I have ever read - it makes my physically ill to read it is that graphic. I am at a total loss for words regarding the people who are advocating warfare.
Every European nation has a large contingent of foreign invaders inside its borders.
But handling them requires re-arranging the internal political compass, which can't be done since some points of that compass have been hard-coded "nazi" and the population and politicos conditioned to think "deporting criminals equals nazi".
All that subconsciously registered anger, fear and frustration over being invaded and under occupation must find outlet however sublimated or projected.
Enter Russia.
And thus, pouring resources we cannot do without and have great difficulty in replacing becomes not only possible but a duty.
Wouldn't it be relatively easier to actually do something about the immigrant-invaders than to antagonise Russia?
I'd also throw in that the EU and its nefarious scheming is a taboo at this point. I suppose everyone understands that it has positive and negative aspects, as well as is able to connect the dots…
About as easy as it would be for US politicians to stop supporting Israel with financial "aid": physically possible and sensible, but politically - and "ontologically" - impossible.
Try this, as I have:
"How many Russians have committed arson, bombings, rapes, murders in Sweden since 1990? I can tell you the sum total isn't even 100. Now, how many Arabs have done any or all of those?"
You can literally see the fuses blowing in the mind of the NPC you're talking to.

Have you read Barbara Tuchman's The March of Folly?
No I haven't.
Unsure if you’d want to, but it’s a good read about precisely these things.

Interesting theory.

EU needs to learn to fight its own wars and defend itself. https://tinyurl.com/3j2swude
We'll have peace. With everyone will be dead. And great EU thinking, btw.
