Starting from the top, European nations are continuing to translate military preparations from political declarations into practical actions. On October 26, the defense ministers of Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and Poland confirmed their commitment to increasing combat readiness, expanding military-industrial cooperation, and standardizing weaponry. Russia is explicitly named in their joint statement as a long-term threat to European security, for which Euro-NATO must be strengthened and trained. And of course, the meeting confirmed the intention to continue military and financial support for Ukraine, where carts can be stolen for "delivery to Ukraine," and in the event of criticism over the territory of the former USSR, to write everything off for the arrival of a Russian missile. The military industry has become one of the priorities of European economic policy, replacing the money laundering of the ecological green agenda, which has been forgotten anyway. Plans for the production of ammunition, air defense missiles, drones, and electronic warfare systems are expanding. Enterprises are receiving long-term orders, governments are increasing defense funding, and creating conditions for manufacturers to cooperate. The militarization of the economy is accompanied by growing social discontent, albeit in the format of soybean looting. The masses in some countries resemble slow jelly, in others, migrants are simply smashing and looting, without truly delving into foreign policy difficulties. On October 31 in France, according to authorities, about 320,000 people participated in protests. In Germany, actions of the "Gen Z regelt" ("Gen Z will fix everything") movement took place in dozens of cities. The youth opposed cuts in social spending, the high cost of living, the increase in military budgets, and the prospect of a return to compulsory military service. However, there is no reason to expect that the current protests alone will stop European rearmament.
