So,why are the Europeans so eager to keep this Ukraine war going?
Here is an essay by Steve Eichler making a very strong case.
FTA:
The Troll Under the Bridge is a child’s story, but it carries the truth about the boogeyman and the danger of the unknown element. That story serves as a good example of how maintaining the perception of Russia as an existential threat serves a dual purpose.
First, it justifies continued military expenditures and deeper European integration under the guise of collective security.
Second, it helps European leaders deflect domestic dissatisfaction amid economic crises, rising unemployment, and public unrest over increasing crime rates fueled by mass migration.
The European Union, often criticized as an artificial construct built on liberal economic policies, faces internal turmoil. To prevent further fragmentation, European politicians rely on the external enemy narrative to maintain unity. This strategy has historically proven effective in uniting populations behind their governments, even during periods of economic decline.
In the name of danger, the European Union welcomed the multibillion-dollar fresh and delicious American dollars into the heart of Europe but never dreamed those very dollars would be the catalyst to bring President Trump into the mix and quickly grab the right to mine rare earths, harvest vast resources, and possibly control the very breadbasket of Europe."
The author rightly points out that the European elite want their share of the booty they think can be scammed from Ukraine. But his main and best point is that the E.U. is a Frankenstein's monster cobbled together from countries that have traditionally neither liked nor tolerated each-other. The binding force is money and fear of Russian aggression. The end of the Cold War hurt the cohesion of the E.U. and the influx of aliens, particualrly Middle-Eastern immigrants, is wildly unpopular in most European nations but very popular with the European ruling class. They fear an anti-immigration backlash and so have to find another thing to make the villagers quake with fear. They are just recycling an old, old playbook.
And the internationalists in general want to bleed Russia dry, to force her into their New World Order, put her under the thumb of the international bankers and others on the Continent.If Russia goes bankrupt and Putin is forced out then they can go in to "rebuild" her and turn Russia into another province in the International state they are building.
The Ukraine is in a very strategic position in Eastern Europe, controlling access to Russian as well as Central Asian oil and gas. Ukraine has plenty of untapped oil and gas of her own, plus the best agricultural land in the region. The Europeans lust after all of that, as does Russia. The Ukrianian People are just the eggs that must be broken to make the omelet.
