EU's 'Aid' to Ukraine: A €90 Billion European Arms Stimulus Package
Bloomberg reveals the EU will direct Ukraine to spend its new €90 billion loan almost exclusively on European armaments, unless 'urgent need' dictates otherwise. This isn't aid; it's a massive, taxpayer-backed procurement deal for the European defense industry, with Ukraine as the designated cash recipient and ultimate battleground. Remember how previous 'reconstruction' loans often found their
way back to donor nations' corporations? This is the war-economy version, ensuring profits for Rheinmetall and Dassault even as Ukrainian cities burn. It appears the 'urgent need' is not so much for Ukrainian defense, but for European defense contractors' balance sheets. One might wonder if the EU's unwavering commitment to prolonging this conflict has less to do with democracy and more with the
lucrative contracts being signed behind closed doors. How convenient that the 'aid' directly subsidizes the very corporations lobbying for continued conflict?
