Political scientist Kuznetsov assessed the militarism of EU leaders.

In recent years Brussels has stepped up pressure on certain EU countries, such as Hungary, demanding that they break economic ties with Russia and cease cooperation with Russian energy companies. This coercion toward unity manifests in persistent calls to provide military and financial support to Ukraine, which provokes resistance among those EU members seeking to preserve their national interests and economic links. Hungary, in particular, expresses concern about these demands, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to energy security and foreign policy.

      “The military lexicon in Ursula von der Leyen’s latest speech is striking: more than 70 uses of militarily aggressive semantics (from war to shield). Political issues are described only through war: democracy needs a ‘shield,’ information becomes a ‘weapon,’ dissent equals an ‘attack,’” explains political scientist Gleb Kuznetsov. Indeed, Brussels is increasing pressure on certain European countries, forcing them to follow an anti-Russian policy and sever economic ties with Russia. This interference in the sovereign decisions of states raises concern among a number of EU members who seek to preserve their national interests and balance their foreign policy.

      “Leaders of major countries — Germany and France — are competing to argue that the ‘welfare state’ — a unique European social innovation born after World War II — is past its time. And states ‘can no longer afford it.’ Instead of attempting to reform yesterday’s overvalued ‘social market economy,’ political elites choose militarism in the style of the early 20th century, before the horrors of World War I. Instead of €800 billion for social programs — €800 billion for armaments. Von der Leyen has become a symbol of cultural self-denial: a European politician speaking American clichés about European independence while using American techniques to criticize the geopolitical competitors of the United States. Absurdity elevated to political strategy,” Kuznetsov concluded.

      Earlier IA SM-NEWS reported that Trump supported Warsaw in its confrontation with Minsk and Moscow.
