Seems pretty accurate actually. The US has absolutely fucked Europe over since 2022. Europe got cut off from cheap energy that made its economy competitive. It became far more dependent on the US in the process, and the US has been taking advantage of Europe this whole time with tariffs and economic bullying while Europe continues to become ever more dependent on the US. The war on Iran was likely the final nail in Europe’s coffin.
im not disputing US fucking over EU , im saying the narrative that the fight is between russia and EU over ukraine is false , in reality the fight is between US and russia , ukraine is the US proxy and the purpose of the war is for both EU and russia to weaken
If we look at the bigger picture, the fight is actually between the US and China. The US saw Russia as a weak piece it could take off the board so that it could start plundering the resources the west needs, and surrounding China with proxy states from the west. It was basically spelled out here. And fucking Europe over is also very much a strategic requirement for the US. Since China is now at the centre of the global economy, Europe’s economic interests lie in the east. If the pre 2022 trends continued, then economic needs would also drive politics and Europe would eventually leave American orbit. Since the US can’t offer anything to Europe that would change that, the next best thing is to enact a scorched earth policy and burn Europe to the ground so nobody gets it.

At least since WW2 where they did exactly the same thing, let us fight and then reap the benefits.
