Al Carns has warned of a "shadow of war" at Europe's door, as hostile intelligence activity against the UK has jumped by more than 50% over the past year.
Ukraine managed to mobilize a massive army and keeps it functional. Of course, it comes at a price of inevitable demographic and economic collapse, but it will be the problem for some other government.
Eh. Desertion rates have skyrocketed, and the entire Ukrainian army + conscripts + weapons from all the imperial west can’t even properly defend themselves against Russia alone using mostly volunteers without forceful conscription. EU won’t have war on its own soil because nobody wants to invade Europe, good luck sending western conscripts to fight to other countries.
Regardless: isn’t the economic collapse of Europe something to cheer for? I say this as a European.
The war is going for 4 years already, almost like WWI. The level of mobilization is still much lower than in WWI, but it is anyway an impressive achievement.
TBH, I think that the economic collapse in Europe will just bring open fascism. Left-wing parties are either weak and disorganized or shameless sellouts, while fascists are on the rise.

That’s how it’s always been, there’s no example of a socialist revolution in any industrialized country. There will undoubtedly first be fascism in Europe, socialism may come later.
We all are seeing how well this wonderful tactic is working for Ukraine.
