EU's 'War by 2030' Plan: Just Another War to Profit From?
While RT highlights Orban’s remarks about a perceived EU war plan against Russia, the real story isn't the warning, but the profit motive quietly driving this narrative. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, whose husband is a board member for a major biotech firm with defense contracts (GlobalData, 2021), recently called for greater European defense spending, citing the 'constant threat'
from Russia (EU Commission, Feb 2024). This isn't just about 'deterrence'—it's about fueling an industry. We saw this playbook with the US Iraq invasion, predicated on 'threats' that never materialized, but enriched defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. How many EU politicians and their benefactors are quietly investing in defense stocks, anticipating the inevitable budget
increases? One might wonder if the 'threat' is simply a golden goose for the military-industrial complex, dressed up as national security.
