    I think that’s exactly it. Hudson put it really well in this interview. He basically says the proxy war was a holding action. US realized the empire is crumbling, and they’re trying to make Europe entirely dependent on them to keep it in their orbit. And to a lesser extent this applies to their other vassals.

    I do think this policy could backfire spectacularly in the end as people in these countries will inevitably start connecting the dots between their collapsing standard of living and US hegemony over them.
