- “The US is creating military assistance packages for Taiwan similar to those it creates for Ukraine ahead of a Ukraine-style proxy conflict Washington seeks to create with Beijing;”
- “The US is also passing legislation serving as a stepping stone toward pushing its Taiwan proxies toward declaring “independence” and triggering a conflict with the rest of China;”
- “Meanwhile, Russian and Chinese warships approach “US shores,” however upon closer examination, these incidents are happening near the Aleutian Islands closer to Russian than to the continental US;”
Same, ideally Europeans will suffer an outbreak of common sense in the next couple of years and start pursuing their sovereign interests instead of continuing to act as a doormat for the US. I think that EU has to die in order for that to happen though. EU is basically a bureaucracy that isn’t accountable to the people of any individual member of the EU, and it’s very clearly become the biggest enforcer of pro US policy over the course of the war. Countries have to break out of EU in order to normalize relations with Russia and China again. I also think that something like EU can only work in times of economic prosperity because different members have very different economies. For example, tourism is a large part of Spain’s economy while it’s manufacturing in Germany. They necessarily have different economic interests because of that. When the pie is big and there’s enough to go around, this isn’t a problem. However, when it shrinks then there is disagreement where the remaining funds should be allocated. As Europe slides into recession, there’s going to be a lot of infighting since each country will want to prevent further slide in conditions of their own people at the expense of others. Southern Europe got fucked over to prop up northern Europe back in 2008, and I don’t think the same trick will work this time.
