They are talking the way they are because, in order to increase their military spending, they are going to have to cut social services. If they scare everyone it will make it easier.

I think there's a lot of truth in what you wrote.

I think you are largely right. Europe will cut social services, raise taxes and largely pocket the savings in Swiss bank accounts. There will be some military spending and armaments parades. The People will feel relieved.

The strongest argument for peace is, paradoxically, preparing to go to war, exhibiting the posture that it will be far more costly to actually engage in war.

Vigilance is the price of liberty. If the EU finally gets the message that preparation for defense is the best social program that any nation may engage in, perhaps they will then do the right thing.
