Baerbock speedrunning the destruction of EU-US relation.
The thing with these Westoids is that their brains are so fried from an advanced-stage internal collapse that they don’t even think in terms of external strategy or geopolitics anymore.
Everything gets filtered through some ideological political nonsense first. That’s probably why Trump bailed on Ukraine and why these EUoids are still clinging to it because their positions aren’t based on strategy but on whatever ideological script they’re running at the moment.
We, who follow more homogeneous and stable societies like China and Russia, sometimes forget just how close these so-called liberal democracies are to tearing themselves apart over ideology.
When you've had decades of oligarchic looting, declining living standards, and puppet politicians with no real solutions, the only way they can keep power is by feeding the masses heavy ideological junk. That’s why the West is drowning in extreme tribalism and culture wars instead of handling real issues.
Take that moron, JD Vance, for example. The guy just spouts off about ideology 24/7. Same with the Trumpster influencer crowd, white pride, Christian nationalism, trans debates, and all sorts of other distractions.
So this isn’t really about Baerbock versus the US. It’s just another case of a politician aligning more with her ideological teammates in America than with her own country’s right-wingers, and vice versa.
And just to be clear, this is only one of the million problems currently plaguing the West. It’s not even their biggest one. Additionally, the mostly libtard EUoids were already in shock that someone like Trump could become president in the first place, and now they’re still scrambling because they never fully processed it.
However, they don’t seem to realize that, no matter what the low-IQ metric of nominal GDP claims, the US actually has even worse living standards and a weaker middle class than the EU.
That’s exactly why they got Trump 1.0 and now 2.0 first because they abandoned liberalism when it stopped working for them. Liberalism thrives when times are good, but when things get rough, conservatism takes over.
Also, the EU, as a vassal, was never really allowed to develop strong right-wing parties in recent memory for obvious reasons. And now that the tide is shifting, they’re completely blindsided.
Also, this entire post is exactly why Trump flushing Ukraine down the toilet shouldn’t be seen as some grand geopolitical strategy, but more as an internal move to keep his voters happy since he can't deliver on many other issues or provide any real-life economic improvements.
For some reason, they are really against Ukraine and pro-Putin, just like Democrats are pro-Ukraine and pro-Zelensky. Ever since the US lost there about 2 years ago it stopped being a strategic war for them.
Strategically, whether Ukraine lives or dies isn’t a big deal for the US. If they throw it under the bus, great, they save some cash and hardware for the real fight with China.
If they keep supporting it, fine, they maintain their global image and keep allies somewhat on board before the inevitable showdown with China. Either way, Ukraine is just a disposable.
