Leaders of the European Union have voted to approve a plan to dramatically increase defense spending. The move is a reaction to the U.S. reducing its support for Ukraine in the war against Russia’s invasion. We go to Brussels to understand the ramifications.

Material resources are material resources. Money is a declaration of mutual trust that is created in the central bank’s computers.
I don’t get what you are trying to say? You don’t think this money will be used to use material resources and employ people in weapon industry?
That’s different from what you said before. (“Money is material resources”). Money can be used to buy material resources, but it is not equal to material resources.
