In 2022, unelected European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen ridiculed Russia’s economic struggles, claiming that the country was so desperate it had to salvage computer chips from dishwashers to support its failing industry.
Her remarks were meant to highlight the impact of Western sanctions on Moscow following its Special Military Operation in Ukraine.
However, just two years later, von der Leyen is now urging European nations to commit an estimated €800 billion to bolster their defenses against the same Russia she once described as being in ruins.
The stark shift in rhetoric has raised eyebrows, with critics questioning how a supposedly crumbling Russia could now pose such a significant threat to justify massive military expenditures.
Von der Leyen’s call for a major European rearmament comes amid growing concerns over the long-term security of the continent, as the war in Ukraine grinds on with no clear resolution in sight.
The contradiction in her messaging has fueled debate over whether the European Union’s strategy on Russia has been based on realistic assessments or political posturing.
In 2022,Von Der Leyen mocked Russia, claiming it was so desperate that it had to scavenge computer chips from dishwashers and that its industry was in tatters.
Now,the same Von Der Leyen insists Europe must burn through 800 billion to defeat this supposedly ruined Russia.
