I saw something briefly on that and think it’s foolish to the core. Collectively the EU and NATO aren’t even that strong if we are being honest. A serious threat like China could walk all over the armed forces of those two groups in a couple days lol it’s really just virtue signaling and trying to coax more tax money out of the plebs of the countries sadly.
Fear is one hell of a control mechanism they have learned quite well from the psychological experiments of the mid 1900’s and each time they start this shit they ramp the fear up to a maximum and see how people respond. I think it annoys them that 25-35% of the population doesn’t go along with their bullshit fear. I wish it was more than that but I think that’s better than 10%!
Yeah, it is more of a social move than anything - and as you say, a way to extract more from the people.
The populations globally are starting to break apart because of these cycles and while some wake up, it creates new conflicts that get leveraged to drive fear and division further.
