    Can somebody steeped in theory tell me why Europe's leaders are seemingly deep dicking their bourgeoisie for America so consistently? I really don't get it, is it just American bourg interests outspending local ones?

      Ask yourself this: why did late Soviet era bureaucrats so willingly sell out their country to foreign capital? Some people are making a huge ton of money by destroying Europe.

      The US stands to gain the most in this US-EU inter-imperialist conflict, and some have already chosen their side.

      It’s likely that they also benefit from relying on the Americans. If they also suffered the leaders would’ve been killed already

    excuse me, what? and all y'all knew this while sending weapons and diplomatically blocking peace talks? i'm just a simple country yokel but i'm connecting a few dots here it might be wise of european leadership to reconsider

    I would've thought that storing energy in an active warzone was a really bad idea, but apparently europeans thought otherwise

    And what's the strategy? Cut another 60b dollar cheque, as though that hasn't been tried before. Remember the last two armies ukraine dashed on the rocks of Russian defensive lines?

    Fucking idiots.

    I hope EU leadership is getting paid well in US dollars.

    When I think about bombing Europe into power shortages, Russia is not the first name that comes to mind
