Evropa má platit za bezpečí tomu, kdo jí zajistil nebezpečí - Noveslovo

Bezohledná přímočarost je tak trochu americkou národní vlastností

By shifting the burden of the Ukrainian conflict onto Europe, the United States is forcing it to invest in defence that it would not otherwise need, writes Slovo.

If it were not for the USA and Britain, there would be no flow of migrants from destroyed countries and no conflict in Ukraine.

Russia did not pose a threat to Europe. It supported the Eurasia project, which was based on economic cooperation. Part of it were freight routes connecting northern Europe with the regions of the Middle East.

For the US, the success of the project was a nightmare since it would drive Western Europe towards Eurasian integration. Europe would regain its self-confidence and break free from the suffocating American embrace while Russia would strengthen its economy. Therefore, the United States buried the project and turned Europe into a dangerous place.

Americans cannot be denied the ability to come up with strategies that are frightening in their directness and ruthlessness, the author of the article concludes.

    Not a fan of US foreign policy ofc, but I do wonder if America pulls back, how long it would take before France and Germany (trapped in a security-dilemma spiral) turn Belgium/Brussels into a whole different type of political battle ground again.

      I do expect that the whole EU project will fail in the long run. Europe simply doesn't have a common identity required for it to work, and this has always been an artificial idea imposed on Europe by the US aligned Atlanticist political bloc.
