    Completely and utterly destroying your entire continent to own the orcs Russians and to lick papa US’s boot. Just Europe things.

    I usually try to look at what can be gained here but after months of looking I still can’t see it. What’s the end game for our European leaders here? Because this seems to be the most incompetent, visionless leadership I’ve ever seen in Europe.

      I mean, this is typical behavior of comprador politicians. Europeans have been living in the illusion that they have democracy, when in reality, their quality of life was only possible due to them being a junior partner of US imperialism. This continent isn’t even sovereign.

      They were just lucky enough they lived next door with the USSR. Their capitalist class wouldn’t be able to oppress them in the same way they oppress other third world countries, because socialist revolution was always a possibility. Greece and Portugal came very close, and Italy and France had huge communist parties. But now that the gullible complacent Western masses have allowed themselves to become demobilized and disarmed, its quite easy to just implement brutal regimes here and bleed them dry.

      I guess it was only a matter of time, before the EU’s imperialist practices finally came home.
