I hope that after this nobody will annoy me by claiming that Western Europe is not totally and utterly on Russia’s side and dedicated to helping Putin win global dominance:
After months of ratcheting up pressure on Vladimir Putin, concern is mounting in Berlin and other European capitals that an emboldened Ukraine’s military successes in the east are reducing the chances of a face-saving way out of the crisis for the Russian leader.
As a result, the focus of German-led diplomatic efforts has shifted, according to senior officials, towards urging restraint from Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and averting a humiliating defeat for pro-Russian rebels, a development that Berlin fears could elicit a strong response from Putin.
My explanation is the same as why North American Liberals are so besotted with Putin. Europeans are tired of the tutelage of the US. The forgot that they owe everything they have to the US aid of the post-war years and want to stick it to the Americans at any cost. And the fantasy of sticking it to the Americans is something they can only enact through Putin whose rhetoric is concentrated 100% on the hatred of the US.
Today Ukraine celebrates its independence but whether it will continue to exist as an independent country is very much in question. Now that Merkel and her band of Eurotrash have openly allied themselves with Putin, the world has gotten itself a new global leader. And it is a leader of such a kind that soon those very Europeans will sigh nostalgically for the good old times when all they had to do was defer to Americans.
