The EU continues on its path to irrelevance:

The US was traditionally an off-shore balancer avoiding a physical presence on the Eurasian continent as the US would exhaust its resources and encourage other great powers to collectively balance the US (instead of each other)

Читать полностью…The historic speech by Vance is still discussed in the media, but mostly in the form of derogatory labels: "Trumpist", "Putinist", "anti-European", "Christian fundamentalism" etc. Reading the newspapers is interesting as you learn about the narrative being sold. However, what are the counter-arguments to Vance on specific issues such as cancelling the election results in Romania? Here is the full speech:

Trump argues Ukraine should not have started the war!
- This is an incredible attack on the NATO narrative. For three years, it has not even been permitted to disagree with the mantra that the Russian invasion was "unprovoked". However, Trump ignores the US role in this tragedy

The US disciplines its European vassals as Rubio refuses to meet Kallas and Trump argues the EU was created to "screw" the US:
- This path to irrelevance was predictable as the Europeans made themselves frontline states in a redivided Europe, accepted to reduce ties with other centres of power, and became excessively dependent and subservient to the US
- Many people warned against this path, yet they were silenced with accusations of being "pro-China", "pro-Russian" etc. When Biden destroyed Europe's energy infrastructure and cannibalised European industries, the first impulse in Europe was to cover for Washington and blame Russia. Any criticism was smeared as spreading "Russian propaganda". This is the pathetic death of the EU

Yevhen Karas seems to agree with Trump's statement that Kiev started the war: "We have started a war not seen for 60 years"
- However, he also explains Western support is not to help Ukrainians, but to fight Russians on behalf of the West: "We have fun killing"
