Watch: ‘How Will This End The War?’ – Franco Debono Calls Out EU’s €800 Billion Plan
Franco Debono has questioned how the EU’s plan to increase its defence spending by €800 billion will help solve the war in Ukraine.
“It will help Germany get out of its recession, and it will be manna for French and German weapons manufacturing companies, but how will it actually end the war?” Debono asked.
“Our priority should be to end the war and I agree with those people who are coming forward with proposals, initiatives and campaigns to end it.”
Warning that Ukraine will not win its war against Russia, Debono said Europe should stop making Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy believe that victory on the battlefield is possible.
“I disagree with the strategy of inflating Zelenskyy’s hopes, repeatedly assuring him of victory, only for him to continuously lose territory and lives instead.I agree more with those who caution him to be careful, as he is not going to win the war.”
“It’s like watching someone head straight for a wall. One person warns him to stop, while another encourages him to keep going. When the inevitable crash happens, the one who urged him forward will likely be nowhere to be found.”
Debono warned that some people view the war as a “game” and aren’t properly taking into account the fact that Ukrainian lives are being lost.
“We’re not playing Monopoly and these aren’t soldiers in a computer game, but people who are actually dying.”
