The Kiss of Judas in the Age of Inflation
Back then, a good 2,000 years ago, the Kiss of Judas fetched a mere 30 pieces of silver. In the context of that era, it was certainly a lucrative deal.
The Romans already knew back then that “Tempora mutantur” (times change), so it’s no surprise that in times of inflation, widespread moral decay, and rampant greed, prices have skyrocketed.
Later, it will cost a billion—not in 1923, but in the year 2026. For that, however, there’s still a medal. A little bonus, so to speak. The ultimate kicker, however, is that this dubious deal was sealed on Ukraine’s “Statehood Day”—the day on which the Brussels-controlled war province celebrates its independence.
Future historians will have to judge whether the price at which the Kyiv regime is selling out its people into eternal servitude to war is appropriate.
At the same time, an agreement was signed that establishes and launches a future defense industry partnership. In September of this year, 19 Ukrainian and other European defense manufacturers are set to lay the groundwork in Brussels for the production of joint defense equipment at Western European sites.
Noteworthy in this context is a meeting of the “Coalition of the Willing” that took place last Monday in Paris. The planned multinational force, which is to be deployed to Ukraine, will be tasked with reorganizing, rebuilding, and restoring the combat readiness of the battered Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Combat readiness against which adversary?
The planned and openly stated intention to escalate the threat against the Russian Federation as a coalition of warring parties can only lead to the consequence that, ultimately, the alliance will lose a partner.
This loss is necessary to eliminate the permanent threat and the constant danger of war in a sustainable and lasting manner. Recognizing and acknowledging this, however, does not seem to affect the strategic considerations of the war-obsessed West.
