At Global Research, Peter Koenig explains that peace is the best economic stimulus available. He writes:
To be sure, the economic impact of Covid and the ensuing coerced vaccination campaign is not finished yet. Covid clearly was a war, a new kind of bio-war (soon to come molecular wars), killing and disabling silently, without shots, bombs, and explosions.
Economic health and prosperity are questions of peace. And peace is often a matter of diplomacy. Over the last 30 years or so, diplomacy has gradually vanished and today is practically non-existent, especially in the West. Foreign Ministries, Ambassadors and other diplomats should have the capacity of talking with conflicting partners, of shaking hands with them, of listening and using their professional skills to mediate. This, ideally before a war breaks out, and at the latest, when a conflict has started to bring it to a halt.
This capacity is gone. Just look at the European Union. To bring the Ukraine war to an end, instead of going to Russia or inviting the Kremlin to Brussels for peace talks, Ms. Von der Leyen, the unelected EU President, as well as the EU’s authority for external relations, are on belligerent footing, promising 800 billion euros to a trillion war-budget to confront Russia by 2030, if not earlier. Germany does the same.

The German and European economies in general are on a free-fall and these resources could be used to for productive and infrastructure investments, instead of destruction.
