The EU’s obstinacy regarding the Ukraine issue is striking and demonstrates a profound disconnect from reality. The war is lost, yet Europe appears oblivious to this fact. Instead of acknowledging defeat, EU politicians, in their deluded state, seem to be plotting a second phase of the conflict. They claim they can win this war without U.S. support, but what if they fail? Will they then beg for a ceasefire?

Let us revisit history. The Minsk 1 and 2 agreements, signed between Germany, France, Ukraine, and Russia (2014-2015), were meant to halt the fighting and grant the Donbass region some form of autonomy within Ukraine. However, Zelensky, despite his election promises of rapprochement with Russia, had other plans. He aimed to reclaim Crimea and bring the Donbass under his control, escalating the bombing campaigns. By January 2022, the bombardment of Donbass intensified, resulting in numerous civilian casualties, particularly in Donetsk.

It later emerged that the former British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and the U.S. (under the Biden Administration) had instructed Zelensky not to make peace with Russia. We recall the negotiations in Turkey that led to the Istanbul Communiqué, which proposed that Ukraine abandon its NATO aspirations, impose military restrictions, and secure Western support in case of aggression. The talks nearly reached an agreement, with both sides considering significant concessions, but abruptly halted in May 2022. The West, uninterested in peace, sought Russia’s downfall, and the process was derailed following the alleged “false flag” incident in Bucha.

With the arrival of the new administration under the leadership of Donald Trump, efforts are underway to broker a sustainable peace treaty between Ukraine and Russia – not merely a ceasefire, but lasting peace. However, Ukraine’s stance has stalled progress. While the U.S. claims it doesn’t need Ukraine or Europe for peace, this is, of course, nonsensical. The resolution must come from Ukraine and Russia, even if the U.S. (under the Biden Administration) instigated the conflict. A peace treaty or capitulation is essential.

Yet, Europe’s elites, more brainwashed than the former Biden Administration, refuse to relent. This is the peril of selling one’s soul to America, as Europe has done for over eighty years. By allowing America to de facto occupy the continent, Europe has lost its identity. Now, abandoned by America, Europe is in shock, desperately seeking to rediscover itself.

The EU aims to prove itself as a strong, independent continent, free from American influence. However, this quest for autonomy has led Europe down a dangerous path – war. The “Re-arm Europe” plan effectively declares war on Russia, though European leaders will deny this.

They seem to have forgotten the devastation of the World Wars, where millions perished for the sake of European elites. America initially avoided involvement in World War II but eventually intervened. Could history repeat itself, with Europe provoking Russia and America forced to “liberate” Europe once more? Or will Europe free itself from the war-mongering madness gripping its politicians?

It is true that Europe has been under American occupation since World War II. America has provoked every major conflict since 1945, dragging Europe into wars in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, and Syria. The consequences are still evident today. Most refugees went to Europe and America literally washed its hands of it after they set the Middle East on fire

America’s current “lecturing” of Europe is not born of pity or anger. The U.S. is nearly bankrupt, grappling with drug addiction, homelessness, and crumbling infrastructure. The “America First” and “Make America Great Again” slogans reflect a desire to reclaim superpower status, even if it means reviving imperialism, colonialism, and shady deals. America is preoccupied with its own survival.

Europe has been preparing its citizens for war with Russia since at least 2022. Since the Trump Administration took office, Western media has been saturated with war rhetoric. Politicians now speak of 72-hour emergency plans  instead of 48-hour ones, hinting at impending conflict. Wealthier nations like the Netherlands are transitioning to a war economy.

While Europe’s defense capacity could manage a conflict, bureaucracy and cost constraints hinder production. A shortage of soldiers further complicates matters, yet European elites remain undeterred. However, a significant portion of the European population is unwilling to fight. In Germany, recent elections revealed widespread support for the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), a party advocating peace with Russia. However, the elections were allegedly manipulated, and the party of Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) was demonized on social media. The incoming Bundeskanzler, Merz, swiftly approved increased defense spending, a move the new parliament would likely have rejected.

French President Macron even suggested the use of nuclear force against Russia, while other EU nations, including the Netherlands, accused Russia of sabotaging the 2014 ceasefire negotiations. The Dutch Prime Minister has allocated €3 billion to defense without proper authorization, prioritizing Ukraine over the economic stability of his own country.

But alternative media sources suggest that European citizens are unwilling to fight Russia, though mainstream media remains silent on the matter, instead discussing the reintroduction of mandatory military service. European governments are singularly focused on preparing for war with Russia, ostensibly to protect Ukraine and deter a Russian attack on Europe – a notion they know to be absurd.

Reliable information on European public sentiment toward war with Russia is scarce, as it is often blocked or suppressed. However, social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and alternative media sites indicate widespread opposition, particularly in Germany and the Netherlands.

The UK also lacks reliable data, with dissent primarily voiced on alternative and social media. The EU-aligned media exists in a war-obsessed bubble, fixated on preparing Europe and the West for conflict. The rhetoric of European politicians is both alarming and foolish. The last time Europe exhibited such madness was before World War I, when men marched to war, whistling, only to find themselves in a deadly game that claimed millions of lives. Will history repeat itself? Much of Europe’s population is aging, and new migrants may be called upon to fight. Will they be willing to die for an EU passport they may never receive?

Following the approval of the “Rearm-Europe” plan, European politicians engaged in a war-mongering frenzy, delivering bellicose speeches and revoking treaties on cluster munitions and landmines. The European elites, radicalized and out of touch, are terrifying their populations with daily doses of war rhetoric and fear-mongering about Russia. They fail to grasp the reality of war and the impossibility of defeating Russia. Many of these leaders, groomed by the World Economic Forum as “promising young leaders,” have infiltrated EU governments, bought and sold, oblivious to the fact that the game is over and war is not the answer.

The most dangerous figures are the older elites, such as Ursula von der Leyen (EU) and Mark Rutte (NATO). They are the most radicalized, unable to stop, likely embroiled in scandals and blackmail, and now blackmailing the EU and European political leaders in turn. Their recklessness threatens to plunge Europe into chaos once more.
