Ukrainian expedition means he can break his fiscal rules. Reeves is about to do something drastic anyway, and what better way to reinvest capital than with UK arms production too? Military industrial complex is a hell of a drug
The fiscal rules are just a smokescreen anyway—Reeves breaking them is as inevitable as the next arms deal photo op. They’ll frame it as “supporting democracy” while funneling cash into the military-industrial machine, which thrives on perpetual conflict.
And reinvesting capital? That’s just another way of saying they’ve picked their winners: defense contractors and war profiteers. Ukraine’s suffering becomes a ledger entry, a justification for more spending while austerity guts everything else.
The drug analogy is spot on—except this addiction doesn’t just ruin lives; it feeds on them.
