Fellow EU tankies, is the war drum being beaten in your country as well? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've noticed that in both Belgium and The Netherlands there has been an increase in war talk lately, saying how we need more military personnel and that we need to be wary of Russia. I've seen some British articles about it too.

Now, I hope it is purely coincidental otherwise I'd have to get worried about EU+UK being complete idiots and preparing for war.

Chega is more concerned with appealing to cops rather than military, they're not so much about "defense" as they are about "security". As you said historically the country is not equipped for war but the fascists loved their state police and they wouldn't mind having it again

Hm that makes sense. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think I heard something about Salazar being “admired” by CHEGA, if thats the case it makes sense why they wouldn’t be interested n the military considering they were the ones (including the non-military communists) that overthrew the Salazar regime.

I think I remember seeing police officer protests in Portugal too, though I may be misremembering due to the language barrier (I just remember a few guys protesting Costa and I think they were cops).

Anyway I’m hoping for the best in Portugal ❤️
