Unfortunately, there are unlikely to be personal repercussions for those responsible. However, they are becoming increasingly toxic politically. My prediction is that once Trump assumes power, he will push aggressively for European to cover NATO subscription fees in full. Eu will in turn use this as a pretext to justify future austerity measures. This will likely lead to the dismantling of social services under the guise of standing up to Russia.
The big question is whether enough people in Europe genuinely believe that Russia would invade Europe to warrant sacrificing their standard of living for military buildup purposes. It’s one thing to show abstract support for Ukraine on social media, but quite another when personal financial hardships ensue as a result.
