There can be no theory of any account unless it corroborate with the theory of the earth.

The latest figures on EU unemployment are out, and it's a bit of a mixed bag
Europe's Future: Weapons, Sustainability, and Full Employment
The world has changed. The post-Cold War fantasy of eternal peace is over, and Europe stands at a crossroads.
The Swiss government, citing "changed geopolitical conditions," is rearming, reopening military airfields, and reconsidering Cold War-era fortress strategies.
This isn't a Swiss issue—it’s a European imperative. The harsh reality of global conflict is back, and we must face it head-on.
But let’s not stop at a half-hearted military revival. Let’s make this the most radical, transformative shift in European history: an economic model where no one is unemployed, where every person has a role in securing our future—either through the defense industry or the green transition.
If war is coming, we prepare. If peace is the goal, we sustain it through absolute self-sufficiency.
The time for naive pacifism is over. The age of action begins now.
The Cold War Was a Lesson We Ignored—No More
The Swiss had a strategy: permanent explosive charges embedded in infrastructure, hidden fortresses, and an ironclad national defense.
Then came decades of complacency, disarmament, and wishful thinking. Now, faced with the ongoing war in Ukraine and the global rise of authoritarian aggression, Switzerland and the whole of Europe must wake up.
While NATO countries scramble to meet their defense spending targets, Switzerland still dithers, promising to hit 1% of GDP by 2032.
Insanity. The war is now. Europe’s greatest failing is always its lethargy—waiting until the crisis is at the doorstep instead of preparing in advance.
An Economy Without Unemployment: Military-Industrial and Green Revolutions Hand-in-Hand
Europe's unemployment problem is a disgrace.
We have millions of educated, skilled, and willing people wasting away in bureaucracy or meaningless jobs.
The solution?
Every able-bodied and able-minded person should work for the European war effort or the sustainable economy.
The Defense Industry:We need factories producing tanks, drones, missiles, ammunition, cyber-warfare systems, and satellite defense.
Let’s build new facilities, re-open old ones, and establish military manufacturing hubs across Europe.
If Denmark can reactivate an old ammunition factory, so can the rest of us.
Europe cannot be dependent on imported energy.
Every unemployed person not working in the arms industry should be deployed in sustainable infrastructure—wind farms, nuclear power plants, solar mega-projects, and battery production.
The world’s next major war will be fought over resources. Europe needs to be energy-independent and climate-secure.
The Swiss Blueprint: A Model for the Whole Continent
Switzerland is an example of what happens when a nation lets its guard down.
It once had an army of 800,000; today, it barely scrapes together 147,000 soldiers with outdated equipment. The Swiss are trying to claw their way back to military relevance, but it’s not enough.
Europe must think bigger. We need a military revolution.
Reopen bases, bring back fortress networks, train millions in civil defense, and make military service mandatory for both men and women.
Meanwhile, industry must mobilize for both security and sustainability.
No More Excuses, No More Passivity
The world has entered a new era. The 21st century will belong to those who prepare, who act, and who refuse to be weak.
Europe must lead in both war preparedness and sustainability. This is not a contradiction. This is survival.
There should be no unemployed person left in Europe.
Half should work for the military-industrial complex, ensuring our security.
The other half should drive the green revolution, ensuring our sustainability. This is the only path forward. The only question left is:
Will Europe finally wake up, or will we wait for the next crisis to force our hand?
I know, How about a referendum?
Sincerely,
Adaptation-Guide
ADAPT OR DIE!
WE ARE READY! ARE YOU?
