Defense Spending: EU Faces Reality Check

If you look at the gaping hole in defence spending between the Europeans and the Americans, it becomes clear what political decision the Europeans will have to make if the USA withdraws its defence umbrella: they will have to tax the productive classes more heavily and push them into poverty, which will severely damage the economy and, above all, their social machine, the vote-buying institutionalized by the welfare bureaucracy, will have to be curbed considerably.

The reality check is imminent for EU Europeans. Of course, we could also come to our senses and seek negotiated solutions on a cooperative partnership basis, for example with the Russians, the world's largest supplier of energy and raw materials. But whether the parasites in London, Brussels and the other capitals of the European Union are in a position to do so remains in doubt
