The European Green Cult Is Suicidal

I believe in preserving the environment, but the way Europe is going about things looks insane to me. Green rules ‘stop Europe preparing for Russian invasion’

European countries have blamed EU environmental regulations for hindering their preparations for defending against a possible Russian invasion.

In a leaked letter obtained by The Telegraph, the nations’ defence ministers argued that the rules had stopped the expansion of military bases and prevented fighter jet pilots from training.

The United Kingdom is upping its defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027. The continent is dragging its collective feet.

They said this was “mainly (but not exclusively) in the areas of procurement legislation, nature conservation and environmental protection, and more generally the administrative burden on defence organisations deriving from various EU legal acts”.

The letter was signed by the Dutch, Swedish, German, Belgian, Czech, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Finnish, Estonian and Danish governments.

I'm old enough to remember how the Europeans laughed at President Trump, during his first term, for insisting that they increase defense spending in the face of Russian aggression. I don't think their laughing so much now.

The commission had promised to ease regulations that could hinder the rearmament efforts, but has yet to do so in any significant way.

It would seem that they would rather live under Putin, than give up the control they've siezed of life in Europe. Bureaucracies NEVER yield power.

And yes, Putin is acting like he wants to take on NATO. Putin is building new force to take on Nato

Russia is building bases and expanding its military footprint near the Finnish border, in a sign of where its swollen army could be moved after a ceasefire in Ukraine.

Eco-zealotry is damning Europe. Putin might have an easier time rolling over the EU than Ukraine.
