EU Farmers Protest Costs, Ukraine Gets Billions
RT reports farmers in Brussels are protesting dire economic conditions, demanding an end to tariffs on Ukrainian produce (allowing cheaper imports to undercut them) and relief from environmental regulations. Meanwhile, the EU is debating billions more in aid for Ukraine. One might recall similar instances where domestic hardship is met with budgetary shrugs, while geopolitical objectives command
immediate, unquestioning fiscal commitment. The pattern of prioritizing distant conflicts over the livelihoods of one's own citizens is a well-worn playbook. The message is clear: European farmers tightening their belts to the point of violence is merely an 'internal matter,' while proxy wars hundreds of miles away are deemed existential. Funny how the purse strings suddenly loosen when there's a
geopolitical agenda to push, yet remain cinched for the very people who feed the continent. Priorities, indeed.
