    Also, wonder how people are gonna feel about a huge increase in military spending when they’re freezing their asses off and the economy is tanking. You’d think they’d prioritize stabilizing the economy instead of sabre rattling.

      I’m from Germany, and quite a lot of people are in an intense state of delusion. They still think this is all fine. However, there are also rising protests, but it’s hard to judge the numbers when the German media landscape has troubles with portraying reality in a neutral way.

        The media has been very effective at keeping the narrative going so far, it will be interesting to see what the breaking point will be where most people start realizing that the narrative is divergent from reality. When that does happen, one important outcome from will be that trust in the media will be completely destroyed going forward.

        If it becomes clear that the media created a false narrative that it’s been peddling for the past nine months about such a monumental issue, it surely calls into question the quality of reporting on any other issue.

      Of course, the well-being of the population itself is more important, but for this reason such news about warlike intentions by a country that lacks the means to do so is absurd, no matter how much Mordor USA demands it from its subordinated NATO allied.
