... and what if you're in Europe, and the continent is rearming with German tanks, shells and bullets, paid by EU member states ... that can't pay for that? And what if you're in Europe, but outside of the EU?<p>In many member countries, ever more people will face an ever bleaker future (because repaying the re-armament debt will mean less social security, less medical care, less housing, less ... and less education). On top of that they will find themselves well-armed with plenty of neighbor countries they could conquer, able to vote in a government that can use those weapons if they want to, all in an EU that's falling apart, because the EU will be the organization extracting debt from everyone's living money, and will quickly find itself hated and despised.<p>You may think "but don't worry, AI + robots + tech" will save us. That may or may not become possible, but even if it does there's a slight issue: do you mean Chinese robots, American AI and tech that needs education subsidies to be developed in the first place? And are you going to buy that tech with fresh debt while you're already underwater just on the repayment of your current debt?<p>Even that is ignoring a horrible truth that nobody is yet ready to face: Trump will do the damage to trade and the EU that he will do ... and afterwards the democrats will not reverse it.<p>In a LOT of EU countries, the current batch of kids will find themselves uneducated, forced to pay back more debt than any 1st world country has ever seen, with lots of weapons, and about half of them with a neighbor country that's weaker than themselves.<p>These kids will find themselves uneducated, unable to leave, and faced with political parties presenting the "choice" between war and poverty. That will be an easy choice, of course.<p>And then, after a few rounds of kill-the-neighbor, they will find themselves facing superpowers that have AI robot armies and no use for uneducated human employees.
