This is achievable if we tax the rich and companies fairly. Of course every single major political party is against this as they are all in the pockets of the upper class and corporations to varying degrees.

Sorry, but this is a fantasy.

The mega rich should be taxed, but war is expensive and hard, and that alone isn't enough. Europeans are going to have to want to resist Russia with money out of their pockets/a little hardship, otherwise they are going to be pissed when taxes go up. Then they run to AfD and such, like they already are.

Or debt could balloon, I guess, but fortunately the EU is smart enough to be wary of this (unlike the US).

I dunno how to give Europeans existential reasons to support Ukraine, but clamping down on Twitter/Facebook is definitely a start.
