He argued that European countries are currently unable to quickly provide the necessary weapons for their own defense or for Ukraine.
2/4
While the European Parliament does not have the power to initiate laws, its President, von der Leyen, may be interested in the idea, particularly because French President Macron also called for a "war economy" in June 2022.
3/4
The move towards a war economy could be seen as part of a larger trend towards censorship, war, and control in the EU and NATO.

🇩🇪🇷🇺⚡️ Providing weapons & financial aid to Ukraine, makes Scholz's statement that Germany is not participating in the war technically (i.e. legally) correct but de facto completely consistent. Is hiding behind legal fictions a long-term solution?
1/9
 #ukrainewar #ukraine #scholz Image
Russia has generally better weapons than Ukraine and is fighting an existential #war. Providing increasingly lethal #weapons to Ukraine would not be consistent with Scholz's stated goal of not escalating the situation.
2/9
It should be seen as a futile effort to change the military balance in favor of Ukraine and could ultimately lead to a more violent and destructive conflict with #Russia.
