A day after the United States and allied NATO nations such as Germany announced fresh tanks and weapons to be sent to Ukraine, Manfred Weber, the President of the European People’s Party (PPP), says that the European Union needs to accept a “war economy.”
In an interview with German paper Berliner Morgenpost, Weber expressed his feelings in regards to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and what Germany has done for the Ukrainians, and what more it should be doing, and how Germany and rest of the EU should adapt.
Weber told the outlet that he while he is glad Germany finally decided to give tanks to Ukraine, he wishes the nation hadn’t be so slow to the call and done so much more much sooner.
For me it is clear: the Ukraine must win the war. It fights for our freedom. We have to go on a spring offensive [so] Vladimir Putin [can’t] adjust.
Weber said
The press asked him about a recent survey that displayed some discontent and worry from young Germans about sending all these heavy weapons to Ukraine. Weber simply said that “a leading politician has to take responsibility and make decisions that he thinks are right,” and that type of leadership is “necessary.”
When asked if Germany may decide to supply Ukraine with fighter jets, Weber went even further said that the EU as a whole needs to just adopt a “war economy” to immensely ramp-up production. The paper questioned and appeared to be perhaps taken back by that answer, asking what Weber meant by that.
Weber said,
You will have to make a new decision – also with regard to Russian capacities and activities. If Ukraine is strong enough, territories in Donbass to recapture, we have the best chance of ending the war quickly.
And when we look at the need for weapons and ammunition, it becomes clear: even if the term is not an easy one, we need a kind of war economy in the EU, to ensure stability and security.
European countries are currently unable to provide the necessary armaments quickly enough, neither for our own defense nor for Ukraine. We have to break new ground. Complicated award structures do not help. The EU countries must increase the production capacity for weapons and ammunition as quickly as possible.
We see the problem in Germany: We have 100 billion from the special fund on the table – and hardly anything happens because the bureaucracy is paralyzing. The armaments companies have so far hardly received any orders, one year after the start of the war. We have to put structures to the test – in the European dimension.
[…] For example, it is now important to create a European single market for military goods. I call on the EU Commission to develop common standards for the production and export of weapons and ammunition. On this basis, we can build real military capacities – from cyber defense to the missile defense system. Adenauer and de Gaulle, Kohl and Mitterand have given answers to historical challenges.Unfortunately, Scholz and Macron have not been able to do this so far. Both are caught in the management of everyday life. Macron wrestles with one Pension reform, Scholz with his Traffic light coalition. It is a failure that weakens Europe sustainably.
[…] We now have to make a new start to a European defense community.

Weber’s sentiment is identical to that of German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who openly says that Germany and the EU “are fighting a war with Russia.” Baerbock had said last year that she would readily supply and aid Ukraine over her own people first, even if the German people are forced to lose their jobs and unable to pay their bills.

Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
Psalm 68:30
World War III is here, and this war will continue to be funded and milked for everything that it’s worth. This is another example of that. War is a great economy generator, and since the West’s economies are finished, they must continue to prop-up this war.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Don’t buy the east-west dialectic of their fake counterfeit antichrist war of ‘good’ & ‘evil’, with the two blended in Eastern mysticism, the way & ‘wisdom’ of the serpent, that old dragon with his leading, seductive ‘secrets’, covert cloaking, the occult: they all connect to the same body & the same ‘councils’ deepest in, highest up deceived & deluded whether ‘consciously evolving’ or not, & just going limp in compromise with the flow into the sewer, the ditch. MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. They & their spirit are evil, wicked, cunning…..but, all in all, soooooooooooo predictable.
USA & UE HAS FALLEN: The once-free nations is now under UN occupation and globalist control, with no mechanism remaining for peaceful return to democracy and freedom. This is the end of USA & UE as we know it.!!! The entire Washington and UE establishment is a criminal organization run by criminals. Biden, Macron, Scholz, Putin etc etc … all of them narcissistic psychopaths whose power rests entirely on the rest of us affirming their delusions that they have the right instruct the rest of us how to live our lives or determine what we do, say, wear, or think. It all comes down to fear. The next revolution we need for human societies to thrive is to peaceably depose of these grandiose incumbents. They represent a parasite class. STOP THE WAR !!!
