The handling of the Ukraine special operation and invasion of Russia by the EU has convinced me that these political elites have totally sold out the European sovereignty in exchange for security and economic interdependence with the U.S.
The decision was made in large part because of the unfortunate racist belief and biased against Russian supposed malevolence, revanchist and desire to supposedly re-established the glory of the Soviet empire. Then you have an absolute behemoth of an economic competitor that's not only alien to most Europeans in terms of culture, language, religion, and most of all political system.
The fact that China is being run by the "Communist" (which often invokes the dreaded past of Communism in Europe) makes it easier for the useless political bums in EU to demonize China, weaken the political leaders that have pragmatic views of the country which then hold more sway to the vast swathe of EU citizens who are just as racist if not more so compared to their American counterparts. As a result, we have political leaders leading Europe that are utterly clueless when it comes to picking the right strategic approach with China. They simply copy and paste the American formula with a much crappies result because they still somehow stupidly hold the arrogant views that they are coming from the position of strength.
I wasn't aware that Ursula Von Der lying alot and Michel (he/she/me/we) have a massive standing Army, Airforce, Navy, Space Command under their command. Europeans must learn to live with their new reality that what they thought was their eden was a jungle all along, populated by Americans, Russians, and increasingly the Chinese.
What I should have added with the above post that EU leaders, people are a bunch of spoiled, pampered babies who have gotten far too comfortable enjoying their high standards of living from the security protection provided for by the Americans. EU countries talk about a big game about their stupendous military when none exists, and most of the leading EU countries like Germany has an anemic and to be blunt, a pretty pathetic military that could even be used to defend the country, let alone be used to attack Russia or more absurd, China.
In my opinion, the EU folks are the original woke sort of people. Loves to peddle their mumbo jumbo human rights, liberal utopia but become super tribal a.k.a. racist when the hordes of African migrants, middle eastern migrants come knocking into their garden. What a joke of a continent. Two world wars and now this new war allowed to occur by the blithering nincompoop of Europe. People there loves to pontificate but never seek to actually learn the vital lessons of the catastrophic world wars.
The retarded and utterly reckless pronouncements that Russia deemed as a terrorist state and Putin a terrorist simply ludicrous and childish act by rudderless folks who loves to call themselves as leaders. They want to punish, humiliate Russia into utter submission and then what? Is the next Russian leader simply going to bend over backwards to his or her new masters? Or like Germany back in post WW1 would find itself seeking the leader to bring them out of the ashes of guilt, shame, and rearmed itself to the teeth seeking revenge on the same idiots and historically ignoramus Europeans.
As some say, history simply repeats itself, since most of us either refused to learn from our past, or assume that we're much more smarter, and much more capable than our fore fathers. The result thus far appears to indicate otherwise. Worst of all, we don't want to see the mushroom cloud as evidence of the monumental stupidity and hubris of our enlightened European neighbors.
