Trump is now upset with Putin. He doesn't know what happened to the guy he knew for so long.
It is amazing how an assassination attempt can change one's perspective. By this, I am not referring to Trump but, rather, Putin. Zelenskyy tried to take him out, something that is being ignored by the Neocon run media.
Trump claims he is for peace. He has taken this stance for so long, I think it is the case. He attack Bush 2 for his entry into Iraq, so blasting the use of war is nothing new for Trump.
That said, he is marching right down the path the Neocons has set for him. NATO is a war agency. It is now the retirement home for Neocons like Antony Blinken.
It seems as if the warmongers are now in control the Trump administration. If he doesn't get his head out of his wazoo, it will be curtains.
EU leadership is intent on destroying itself. They are spreading the idea that Putin wants to take over Europe. Of course, most people swallow this as fact. Why would anyone believe this nonsense?
Ask yourself one simple question: why would Putin even want Western Europe? What does it offer? There are no natural resources (unlike Russia). The economies are falling apart, led by the largest of them all, Germany. There is little technological innovation with no companies of any size to compete globally. The EU even trails Russia when it comes to space.
What the EU does have to offer is debt. Putin can invade and take over the outlandish pension obligations by countries such as France and Spain.
The other issue is the fact that Russia couldn't even take Ukraine. How can anyone claim that Putin will take Poland or Hungary, let alone France if it spent more than 3 years with Ukraine?
It is obvious this is nothing more than propaganda. The war machine is in motion, driven by the same idiots who created every other quagmire the West found itself in. Remember Afghanistan? How did that work out for the West and its allies. Biden was blasted for picking up and leaving but, in all honesty, it was a lost cause long before he arrived on the scene.
Trillions of dollars spent and a couple hundred thousand lives for what? So the Taliban could move right back in within weeks of withdrawal?
Trump is quickly moving his Golden Age (economy) to crap. Contrary to popular belief, war is not good for business. Sure, the military industrial complex makes out like bandits. However, the debt explodes as money is spent without regard. Then you have global trust, especially within the financial realm.
There is a good chance that we enter the 2030s with China as the financial capital of the world. Long term forecasters, those who study multi-century cycles, have warned of this. Then we have the behemoths that are the Chinese banks. Sure, there might be a dotted line between then and the government. It really doesn't matter. We are talking about entities that are bigger than even the largest in the West.
Europe, as we know it, is on the way to the grave. The old "order" is dead. This is no longer a major center on the global stage. Most macro indicators present a decline.
The Neocons major in destruction. These people have no clue what they are doing, motivated simply by their hatred of Russians. People like Lindsey Graham would stand up and applaud if 25 or 50 million Russians were suddenly killed. Of course, he is worth well over $100 million, so his hatred is well compensated.
My guess is that, by 2027, Ukraine will cease to exist as a country. It will be no more. Putin might get taken out, which then will create a bigger problem for the West. Behind him are hardliners, ones he was able to keep at bay.
If Putin is removed (ie dead), then they will step in. That will not bode well for Europe, or the rest of the West.
These people think war is a video game. The media covers it like they do the opposing sides of a football rivalry.
WW3 is not going to be pretty. Europe will bear the brunt of it but the US will not be unscathed. The Golden Age of the economy will turn to soup very quickly.
