“Green” investments in defence firms have surged in recent years, topping €50 billion in 2025. The trend is driven by concerted pressure from the arms industry backed by the European Commission. Both seem determined to convince banks that weaponry can be made “sustainable”.
We would not have needed to cut so many “peacetime” programs in recent years if the european defence industry was capable of keeping the peace in the east from the beginning, and not only after massive investments to resuscitate it.
Our producers could have been more innovative and efficient if we did not have cheap russian gas and oil;
our renewables could have advanced further.
And it’s cheaper, too, in the long run.
