Montenegro announces investments that he will never make to placate the excessive hormonal doses that deligh in the NATO summit. In the end, I feared nothing: we will have our own weapons of soft destruction
Who starts? By Montenegro, that a fake investment commitment to ten years that absolutely uncompromising it? For Pedro Sánchez, who lies at night boast of and wakes up with the rope on? By Mark Rutte, who in public with the same mouth that licks boots where it becomes small in letter? Por, the mice tamer that is either a genius in the appearance of inconstancy or, using the impoverished uranium of your own, sometimes seems to “doesn’t know what the fuck he is doing”?
Let us start at, in the summit of the politically strategic as it militarily histrionic. There is a part that is crucial, strategy, diplomacy and geopolitics, in a west with war on a border that wants to move, involved in multiple conflicts in what can not demoid and shouts hearts to cover fears of the silences to which they want to dismiss.
This part is not in The Hague.
In The Hague is one of military personnel, who despise the Budget -employed politicians’ bidding fair, and is a parade of business men ready to enter the Gun Buying and Selling Cattle fair.
Europe is a fiasco: it is unarmed, untied and weaned, has done energy business with Putin, lost technological innovation to Xi and trusted the weapons that are now under Trump’s finger. He only woke up to life when he woke up to death, to the noise of bombs. Now it runs in the hurry of fear and without wander of the strategy. Yes, it takes more investment, the meaning is even right, but how to trust the blind in these knees on which they made headless plans?
The defense of the West has only one geometry and is a pentagon. The born is the US, not by American occupation but by European desertion. It was decades of gold for those who paid covers and, in this, Trump is right. What impresses is vassalage. Including the new Tina da: The new there is no alternative (there is no alternative) is no longer the austerity of saving saving because it had to be a decade ago, it is to spend spending spending because it has to be. There is no strategy, there is a number. 5%? 3.5%? 2%? It is the disgrace of Europe: even when it is right, it only finds the frank language of numbers. Or worse, the percentages.
Enter Luís Montenegro. And repeats the 2014 farce, promising an investment target for ten years, which was not fulfilled and it will not meet. And can say it without laughing.
In the election campaign: “Either the PS and AD are misleading the EU and the NATO and do not intend to decisively increase the National Defense Budget, or are fooling voters because they omit the future cost they will have to bear.” Arriving here, we see that the already prime minister is wrapping the two.
There is actually no 3.5% commitment or 5%. The only goal is 2% of GDP in defense investment this year, precisely the same as the Government of Passos had taken over in 2014 for ten years. Now, in The Hague, the prime minister had the honesty not to promise, but to state the “perspective” of reaching 3.5% of direct investment GDP (plus 1.5% indirect) ten years from now. Another top plan that will end up as a bacchanal plan.
In defense, Montenegro does not spend money, spends Latin. As a good student who always is, Portugal sang with Europe and destroyed Spain, which meant what Portugal just said softly. Brussels pressure transfers Washington’s pressure. Since Keir Strmer has already shown (and Zelensky selflessly proved), Trump is not won by the affront, but through cynical flattery, which convinces him of endless personal victories that may propagate in his daily physical exercise. That’s what Montenegro did, Von Der Leyen told Rutte that he can tell Trump that he could say that Portugal has committed to spending 3.5% of GDP in defense… One day, in the future, in a couple of two or three governments. Word of honor.
In fact, Montenegro is smart. Our diplomacy did his and approached Spain, the prime minister points to a thousand while performing ten and we all leave or less percentage in it. Soon it will say that the deficit is not at risk, that pensions will not be cut and that military service will not be mandatory. And everything will seem perfect.
The NATO went from to over-emotional life. It has a new urgency, more weaponry, and a new, of historical budget increase. Nothing against, except in the staging. The born looks stronger but is no longer cohesive. And so a cowboys summit that will in the end will be (no pun intended) For a shot bar: one for the money that is announced, another for the enunciated weapons factories, another to forget the European disabilities and one last, silent, to cheer so that Mr. Trump did not realize that, in fact, everyone wants to continue not to spend much more and that the US continues not to spend much less. Well seen things, in 2035 Trump will be almost 90 years old. And no one else wants to own the destinations of the world. It would be good to be it from ours.
