(ZEROHEDGE) – With much of Europe facing a cold winter thanks to the war in Ukraine, various leaders have been sounding the alarm over the ‘sacrifices’ people are going to have to make in order to maintain opposition to Vladimir Putin – who’s betting on fracturing the EU due to Russia’s immense leverage over energy.
On Wednesday we reported that that both EU policy Chief Josep Borrell warned that “wary” EU populations would have to endure deep economic pain and a severe energy crunch – while calling on the citizenry to “bear the consequences” with continued resolve.
And in yet another ominous warning in what must have been coordinated messaging, French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday went even further – warning at his first cabinet meeting after the summer holidays that the French should expect to make deep sacrifices in what he called the “end of abundance.”
