    There's a lot to chew over here. Most of it's... unchewable, for Europe. The conflict in Ukraine is pushing Europe towards the edge of self-destruction. Splitting Europe into two hostile camps with mutually incompatible goals and interests.

    The UK, Poland, Baltics and Ukraine want war with Russia. Old Europe really doesn't. But, rather than see Europe break apart, Old Europe, the French German axis, has allowed itself to be dragged and pushed towards war with Russia. As if that was a better outcome!

    So, a terrible war in the heart of Europe, with potentially catatrophic consequences; economically, socially, politically and militarily... has slipped out of Europe's control. What happens in Ukraine is really up to Washington and Moscow. Old Europe's impotence is staggering. Europe cannot defend its interests if those interests clash with what Washington wants, even if what Washington wants is diametrically at odds with Europe and massively undermines Europe's economic welfare. It truly beggars belief. Will anything make the people of Europe wake up to what's happening? How their prosperity and peace is being decided without their input taken into consideration by Washington. Western Europe is powerless and has no influence, because, fundamentally, it's an occupied continent, occupied by Washington.
