The New Dark Age

The leaders of the European vassals, including the British Starmer, have been utterly blindsided by the change in the balance of power among the US oligarchy. The latter have decided to move on from Ukraine to focus on the main “enemy” China, while the Euro vassal leaders have dug themselves in deep supporting the previous US oligarch position. Many of them, like so many of the US courtier administrative, political and think tank class, are now surplus to US oligarch requirements. So just as the US courtier class is being replaced with those that align with the new US oligarch position (dump Ukraine and move on to China, while extracting more from the vassals), the vassal leaders will be replaced unless they get in line. The whole Euro elite class is shocked because they have become utterly Atlanticist in the past decades and simply cannot believe that their boss is turning on them, even though they have been so dutiful and obedient. They are finding, just like mafia underlings, that when the boss changes his strategy anyone can be expendable. Best to get in line quickly before getting whacked.

The fully controlled Euro media outfits displayed the angst of the elites. Like the below Martin Wolf of a Financial Times that has degraded so much in recent years into a propaganda organ.

These past two weeks then have made two things clear. The first is that the US has decided to abandon the role in the world it assumed during the second world war. With Trump back in the White House, it has decided instead to become just another great power, indifferent to anything but its short-term interests, especially its material interests. This leaves the causes it upheld in limbo, including the rights of small countries and democracy itself. This also fits with what is happening inside the US, where the state created by the New Deal and the law-governed society created by the constitution are both in danger of destruction.

In response, Europe will either rise to the occasion or disintegrate. Europeans will need to create far stronger co-operation embedded in a robust framework of liberal and democratic norms. If they do not, they will be picked to pieces by the world’s great powers. They must start by saving Ukraine from Putin’s malevolence

Like some old grandpa who has had just a little too much port, blabbering to himself in a chair in the corner of the room. Or this from the UK state propaganda broadcaster, with the BBC Ukraine correspondent idiot Ukraine propagandist blabbering utter nonsense about Zelensky “having to stand his ground.”

And then the “warm welcome” for Zelensky in London after his thrashing in the Whitehouse, with the ex-Obama US Ambassador to the EU spouting utter TDS craziness; a courtier out of touch with the new US oligarch position.

And the German state-owned propaganda organ DW News. Including the non-entity Kaja Kallas explicitly calling for a new leader of the “Free World”; how much more could she insult the boss? And of course the idiot warmongering Baerbock, who will soon be replaced given the results of the recent German elections. Unfortunately for the Germans, the new German Chancellor Merz is even more of a delusional warmonger than Sholz. Also, utter garbage from the DW Ukraine correspondent another Ukraine propagandist about the fallout in Ukraine.

But even they could not stoop as pathetically low as the official Canadian propaganda mouth piece, bringing on a Ukrainian-Canadian to spout her sense of “betrayal” and a whole bunch of utter nonsense, as the Canadian political leadership shout their undying support for Ukraine.

Ukraine is now the walking dead, Europe (and the UK and Canada) simply do not have the industrial capacity, the financial heft, nor the military capability to stop the inevitable. Any thoughts of European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine were quickly scuttled with Trump’s refusal to back such a move. Russia has already stated that any such troops will immediately become legitimate targets and will be targeted.

The problem for the European elites is that without the Ukraine project what are they? And how do they walk back the intense propaganda and financial costs of their support for the Ukrainian regime? Without the Ukraine project, and without the warm embrace of their boss, they are simply a declining archipelago on the western end of Eurasia which burnt its bridges with Russia and are on the path to doing the same with China. The great days of the Western European colonial empires are long gone, as is the post-WW2 economic miracle years, as is the euphoria after the fall of the Soviet Union. The European elites have made themselves irrelevant through their blind vassalage to the US, as have their Canadian counterparts to an even greater extent. They built the hole that they are now in and have not even yet understood that they need to stop digging.
