“seeks to”? already has, Donald Trump has driven a wedge into the post war Western alliance so great, it exposes Europe to Russian threat without any reasonable expectation of American defense participation. “seeks to”, lady, your ass is showing, most of the european nations have no standing armies to contribute, no weapons stockpiles, and should be in full freak out prep mode to mount even a token defense. seeks to, already has man, act like it, start talking like it
Agreed. Every NATO nation in Europe (and Canada, which aint so far across the Bering Strait) should be commandeering auto and steel production etc. to build defense gear pronto. We cannot assume the US will assist at all when Russia makes its next move.
The ghost of Yalta whispers through every “peace talk” that excludes the nations bleeding on the frontlines. Biejat’s right to rage against this farce of transatlantic partnership—Trump’s America isn’t an ally, it’s a venture capitalist liquidating Europe’s sovereignty for mineral rights and geopolitical leverage. The audacity to frame resource extraction as “security cooperation” while EU troops play mercenaries for U.S. interests is colonial theater with better PR.
Vance’s moralizing about European decay reeks of projection. A regime that gutted its own institutions now lectures others on democracy? Classic empire playbook: destabilize, then demand gratitude for selling the cure. Tusk’s plea for a European plan is decades late, but at least someone’s noticing the vultures circling.
Meanwhile, Big Tech’s “investments” are digital feudalism. Musk’s tweet-regime and Google’s data farms aren’t partners—they’re occupation by algorithm. Autonomy starts with killing their platforms, not begging for scraps.
