Europe was shocked last week by the common spat between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Europe finds itself trapped in a non-man’s area as a result of Trump’s call for an end to the Ukrainian conflict and US policy change. It stifled China’s economy, cut ties with Russia, and failed to anticipate Trump’s traditional geopolitical change.
After EU officials publicly acknowledged that the Minsk discussions were used to pass the time to Ukraine’s defense, making matters worse, Europe disqualified itself as a trustworthy opponent. Europe managed to seize the world’s attention in a short period of time.
ignoring the past
The US has no lasting friends, according to Henry Kissinger, and merely interests. A prime example of this is the Ukrainen War.
About 30 years ago, the majority of European  countries, which were influenced by a liberal flood in the US, elected a number of Atlanticist-minded social leaders who supported US liberal laws.
Bush, Clinton, and Obama were US presidents who supported NATO enlargement. The spread of democracy and freedom, which was used as the justification, obscured the geopolitical and economic justifications that can be traced back to the colonial era.
European geographer Halford Mackinder’s The Heartland Theory argued that a divided European continent was the foundation of Western hegemony in the early 20th century.
Mackinder compared the conflict between emerging maritime powers ( mostly Western Europeans ) and land-based powers ( Russia, China, India ) as a whole. The West’s sea hegemony was challenged by the development of railway.
British political strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski identified Ukraine as the key player in the Asian continent conflict in the 1980s.
Since the 1990s, NATO’s growth was spearheaded by Brzezinski’s supporters and supported by subsequent US services.
The reason was that the sea powers of the West could maintain global hegemony by keeping the Asian continent divided. The Atlanticists were likewise concerned by China’s Belt &, Road Initiative ( BRI), which spans the European continent.
The Ukraine conflict, in the eyes of the Atlantic, succeeded in removing Europe from the European continent. The plan included lowering the size of the Nord Stream network, which connects Russia and Europe.
The Atlanticists were unable to have anticipated that Trump would fundamentally alter the corporate chess board.
The proverb” Following the money” is still applicable. The US is dealing with a growing and untenable national bill, a persistent budget deficit, and ever-increasing trade deficits. The dollar’s status as the world’s supply dollar is contingent on its continued support of these quad deficits.
As the” toll booth” of the global currency system, the US makes trillions of dollars. To address its budgetary shortfalls, the US government has currently taken out a 36 trillion US loan. The defence budget is receiving more interest payments than the federal loan, and they are rising. The US is heading for default or inflation on the latest path.
Trump wants to make sure the buck remains the world’s reserve currency and restore the country’s fiscal health. It explains both why he threatens sanctions against nations that try to de-dollarize and why his merciless cost-cutting is so effective.
Strong Negation
Russia was not persuaded by the West that NATO’s expansion of its borders was unaffected by its threat. They viewed NATO enlargement as an practice of democracy and freedom, indifferent about the potential Russian response. Pragmatism was defeated by philosophy.
However, the descent may become painful. Western media earlier in the conflict portrayed Russia as weak and corrupt, with a failing business and a corrupt government. The West relied on three arches that fell one after another, one who was exceedingly confident or generally naive:
– Sanctions to slam or decline the Russian business and stoke a revolt against Putin failed
– Russia’s attempt to isolate itself from China and India failed in the face of world isolation.
– Russians were defeated strategicically by using more sophisticated NATO arms.
The West did not bother to come up with a backup plan because it was convinced that Russia may become brought to its knees. The West changed the text when it became apparent that Russia was not to be defeated. Russia was no longer a poor position with an impotent defense; it was a serious risk to Europe.
Russia’s economy is comparable to that of Spain, it accounts for less than one-third of Europe’s population, and it accounts for a quarter of the country’s$ 84 billion defense budget ( compared to$ 326 billion in Europe ). However, Europeans are then advised that if they don’t support Ukraine, they might have to confront the Russians at their own edges.
The Europeans are doubling down on their corporate foolishness despite being completely unaware that the end goal has arrived and incapable of making peace ideas. They are discussing creating a security industry that doesn’t rely on the US, and discussing a social Western defense fund.
Experts predict that Europe will need ten times to become fully militarized, and more and more countries in Europe are reporting frustration with Ukraine’s policies. Under 30 % of EU officials ‘ approval ratings are reported.
Europe’s failure is inherent and cannot be ignored. A Chinese political analyst recently remarked on the issue:” Europe consists of smaller countries and countries that don’t know they are small ( in the framework of politics )”.  ,
If the US, Russia, and China talk about a post architecture, such as Yalta II, Europe might find itself clung to the bleachers. Europe lacks the strategic leverage that the” Big Three” can offer when the chips are down.
Ancient descent
The EU elite’s greatest concern is to control public opinion as they descend from their intellectual battles.
The American media has been the propaganda arm of the Atlanticists, some of whom are sponsored by USAID, since 2014, when Russia regained power of Crimea. They constantly demonized Putin and Russia. People who spoke out in support of Zelensky or Ukraine was portrayed as a Russian property.
The relentless flow of anti-Russian misinformation was very successful. In a recent poll conducted in Britain, over 80 % of respondents were in favor of boots on the ground in Ukraine. Never head that Wembley Stadium would accommodate the entire American troops.
The intellectual environment has been altered by the Atlanticist disease that has invaded Europe over the past three decades. The legendary appropriate calls for harmony now, just like the AfD in Germany, while the mighty left, including the” Greens,” cheers on the continuation of the conflict. This traditional shift in roles is hardly ever discussed in Europe.
The anti-Vietnam War demonstrations in the early 1970s and the pupil uprisings in 1968 give rise to Europe’s Green Parties. The pacifist and environmentalist movement came to form the Dutch Green Party, but the” Green” key of Amsterdam displayed a burned-out Russian tank as a war medal in the city center of Amsterdam.
Europe would be wise to consider the ideological shift that caused the Ukraine horror when peace comes back.
