Prof. Richard Wolff on mass uprisings in Western Europe: "Public services are being damaged in order to rearm for the war against Russia. "Both the US and Israel made a huge mistake in entering Iran, which most people here in the US already admit. What they are still unwilling to admit is that Europe is making a similar mistake, having lost touch with being the junior partner of the United States, something they agreed to in 1945, they are holding on even after Mr. Trump, on behalf of the US, threw them all together under the bus. They are supposed to become tributaries of the United States, as Latin America did, and that is their future. They don't know what to do. They cannot deny what is happening. They are, throughout their lives, devoted to the United States. They made their careers that way. Mister Merz, Macron, Burnham, all of them, and as a result, they are stuck. How are they going to survive politically? Answer: demonize Russia. Make Russia so bad that Mr. Putin is starting to look like Mr. Stalin was once portrayed, and therefore on that basis justify rearmament, which is basically a massive fiscal subsidy to big business that makes a military. And the way to finance this is to take the money from public services. So the French are angry about damage to the public service of education, the Portuguese, Italians and others are angry about the lack of support for housing. Everywhere you turn, public services won over decades by social democracy are being taken away to rearm for a war against Russia, which even they think will be a devastating end to this sad story. Watch the full interview.
