all the additional weaponry and surveillance goodies that aren’t immediately tossed into the corrupt pit of death that is Ukraine could be more likely to be used on an increasingly discontented population rather than against Russia. We’re already seeing it happen.

Militarized police are roughing up anti-genocide protestors in Berlin, in Cologne they just injured dozens participating in an anti-war march, which is now a weekly occurrence in Germany. there are draconian crackdowns on speech where the police are raiding the homes of anti-genocide and free speech protest organizers and charging them with terrorism offenses. And in most EU countries, the “war on terror” has already been used as a pretext to put soldiers on the streets and reinforce state repression as terrorists and protestors against social inequality become synonymous in the eyes of the ruling class.

In France where the economy is falling apart and workers bear the brunt of the pain, we’ve seen militarization of the police and frequent use of armored vehicles to help quell protests. And the army in the past had authorization to shoot yellow vest protestors.

Those protests might look like child’s play once the current European leadership is finished decimating national economies with endless self-destructive decisions all stemming from a ruling class dream to balkanize Russia. In the name of that goal, they have replaced cheap and affordable energy with the expensive kind, killed industry, engaged in economic warfare with much of the rest of the world in a failed bid to isolate Moscow, and become completely beholden to American vultures.

And it’s likely only to get worse.
