      It’s completely unrealistic in my opinion. There will be riots before that happens.

        Probably the plan. Euro countries were flexing their police states during Palestine protests and such.

      Yeah, it’s going to be a justification for mass austerity, and the money will not be spent productively without fundamental restructuring of western economies. There have been countless examples of what actually happens when you just throw money at the problem over the past three years. A famous example was when EU created a slush fund to procure 1.5 million shells, the price of shells immediately surged from €2,000 to €8,000.

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
