The EU monarchy (non elected EVER leader) is about to conduct global crime by illegally confiscating funds trusted to its centralized banking system, to finance a war, by conditionally asking the borrower to spend it nearly all in a handful of arms industries (primarily German, secondarily French) in the name of all EU residents/taxpayers. They are even seeking legal grounds to violate a veto vote against it. IOW Hungarians will be billed and charged even when their government vetoed against the decision.

When in the end the beneficiary will be unable to pay for loans, same multinationals will receive resources and infrastructure as exchange for the "assistance". They are doing precisely what the US has done till now with the exception the US didn't confiscate Russian funds to do it, they had their taxpayers charged so their multinationals (oil, grain, coal) will receive a big chunk of Ukraine's resources.

The facilitator for all this is a slimy used car salesman failed actor named Zelensky.

On the other hand, the evil enemy they are up against, in its state and other propaganda media outfits still retains Google (media/gstatic) scripts running in the background.
strategic-culture.su rt.com ...

My imagination to provide a rational explanation for why that is has been exhausted. But before your country asks you or your children to go fight a war, just think on who the beneficiaries of that war will be, win or lose. Those dirtballs have all bases covered.

Even 16th century British pirates were more moral than these thugs have been.

So EU residents will pay more for needed goods from China because the Chinese market couldn't possibly have any interest of products coming from France.

The same jokers who appeared as proponents of "competitiveness" and "free market" a few years ago while trying to bust unions, are now threatening with tariffs.

Such pathetic losers some world leaders appear to be. Every time they get to lose in their own game they change the rules to fit them. How else can you describe the puppets running EU states?
