EU 'Peace' Rhetoric Collides With Billions in War Spending
While RT highlights the EU's rhetorical commitment to peace, juxtaposed with its escalating military aid to Ukraine, the deeper financial incentives rarely get airtime. European defense manufacturers, for instance, have seen stock prices soar. Germany's Rheinmetall reported a 30% jump in orders last year, projected to hit €10 billion by 2026. This isn't just about 'peace'; it's about profit,
fueled by contracts for everything from ammunition to advanced weapon systems. Critics might wonder if 'peace' is merely a talking point for public consumption while the actual levers of power are turning the gears of war. The 'everything to gain from peace' narrative conveniently ignores the immense capital gains of those supplying the conflict. It seems some gains are more equal than others when
it comes to the EU's perplexing policy choices.
