nah man, that hawkish noise isn't for regular europeans - it's performative fearmongering for arms dealers, defense contractors, and the euro-military brass who need ever-expanding budgets. they're not talking to some factory worker in naples or a barista in berlin, they're talking to the Raytheon lobbyists and think-tank war-pigs who profit from chaos.
think about it - if they actually wanted to win hearts and minds, they'd be running "peace in our time" campaigns and talking about diplomacy. instead it's "we're all gonna die unless we stockpile 500% more tanks, check out these juicy contracts..."
also love how they always invoke "your grandparents" - homie, my grandparents got conscripted at 18 to die in someone's muddy trench because politicians like this couldn't stop escalating. nobody wants round 3 of that 🤦♂️
