Hey, never say never. Cost of living in Western Europe is getting so dramatic, volunteering in the army might be an option for many soon! And coincidentally some things might happen after that.
Good call! It makes sense from the cannibalistic POV the ruling class has.
use speculation and stock bubble to crank up cost of living
eviscerate whatever measly remains of social safety there was
create a massive sinkhole of a war
sell said war in the media as “fighting for our values” and other shit
throw some crumbs at the troops to make volunteering seem like a good option
laugh as the proletariat gets butchered en masse with the weapons you’ve profited from
The capitalists get: profits from weapons sales, profits from rising cost of living (i.e. rent), profits from speculation on grain and other foods, and the much desired Malthusian slashing of the population. Ya know, the one various bourgeoisie “green activists” keep babbling about. Oh and it will also disorganize and demoralise the working class. Who’s saying the bastards don’t know what they are doing?
We’ve already seen large numbers of Columbians going to fight for the Ukrainians, and Russia has employed foreigners as well. It’s scary to think modern war is waged in such a hyper capitalist way, you can just import low wage soldiers to fight it for you.
There’s always the option of dirty bomb or sending NATO troops proper
