Europe's War Machine Stymied by Pesky 'Pacifists' Who Prefer Peace
The Financial Times, ever the champion of industrial output, expresses concern that 'Italian pacifists' are 'stymying' Europe’s vital plan to ramp up ammunition production. The audacity of citizens wanting diplomacy over armaments. This 'stymying' involves anti-establishment politicians opposing the expansion of a Rheinmetall plant in Sardinia. Apparently, not everyone is thrilled about making it
easier to send more shells flying, a sentiment the mainstream media finds rather unhelpful. One might wonder if these 'pacifists' are simply recalling the last century, when Europe's zeal for 'boosting production' led to such widespread peace and prosperity. The article frames this as an unfortunate obstacle, rather than a sane pushback against escalating military-industrial complex profits.
Perhaps if the munitions were labeled 'humanitarian aid,' there'd be less resistance?
