RE: What does von der Leyen mean with turning private savings into much needed investment? Red alert for private savings?

I think it's a legitimate fear, though I think there's also a lot of alarmism of the "they'll take all your stuff" kind that's been circulating for years. For me, it just feeds more into existing skepticism and mistrust of centralized banking.

However, there's the first part of the tweet that no one seems to take into account. Is she insane? What "everything" does EU have to take any kind of lead, or even enjoy a moderate advantage in the face of Russia and US? They keep pretending we're equal players at the table (our leaders, I mean), and that seems a very dangerous notion to bandy around to the masses, and an insane one to actually hold going forward politically.

What does the future look like? A Europe going it alone, robbing its people to fund a perpetual war (inviting internal insurgency) doesn't take a historian to figure out as no bueno.
