Europe is once more at war. What we see now in Ukraine is merely the beginning. Once Europe is sufficiently militarily strong it will join the war in Ukraine. Europe must realize that this is the time to raise taxes to fund European armament and the Ukrainian war effort. There is nothing wrong with raising taxes in wartime. In fact raising taxes in wartime is the most natural thing in the world. It is prudent, necessary and should be the most obvious thing to do.
