Christine Lagarde just admitted what Brussels won’t: Europe is running out of fuel, food, and time.
“Jet fuel prices have roughly doubled – rationing has already been imposed at some airports.”
“A third of all fertilisers transit the Strait of Hormuz – that is now at risk.”

Translation: planes will stop flying. Crops will fail. Supermarket shelves will empty.
The ECB president is warning of “prolonged disruption” and “shortages of key inputs.”

The political bill is already coming due.
Bulgaria’s pro‑EU government collapsed. Romania is in chaos. Germany’s Merz has 84% dissatisfaction. France is on the brink.
These governments enforced Brussels’ sanctions and swallowed the Green Deal. Now voters are throwing them out.

Meanwhile, the Commission keeps writing cheques: €90bn to Ukraine, €71bn for Gaza, €800bn for “ReArm Europe.”

Do you know that there is a saint invoked against procrastination? He's a saint for those who need things done right now, not tomorrow!

He is often called upon for help in overcoming delays and taking decisive action, stemming from the legend where he rejected the devil’s urging to postpone his conversion to Christianity.
In that story, depicted with him crushing a crow symbolizing "tomorrow" (cras in Latin) while holding a cross marked "today" (hodie),

You who are the Saint of urgent causes,
