Over the last 100 years, whenever Europe has armed up, bad things happen, WW I and II come to mind.

A lot of the liberals in Europe including the UK seem hellbent on starting a war with Russia.

There is no EU anymore, in a generation they’ll all be Islamic vassal states.

Not the elites. They’re friends with Russia behind the scenes and in spite of their rhetoric.

More like ending the war in Europe that Putin started.

Putin should have read Machiavelli: "Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please."

It is nothing but a distraction for the little people who are sick and tired of the invited muslim and African invasion of western Europe.

The UK has pathologically hated Russia since 1830 +/-.

It’s that whole “Great Game” BS of the British Empire.
Doesn’t matter if it’s Monarchist Czarist Russia, the USSR, the Russian Federation Republic. The Brits despise them, even as their whole country falls apart.

The Brits lost their physical empire, but they replaced it with a financial empire where London became the center of banking. They deeply resent that Russia has enormous resources they can’t touch and less than a 20% debt to GDP ratio when the rest of the EU and USA have debt as high as 158%. Over 120 for the USA, at least 100 for the UK.

The Brits still run an empire but it is financial, and far more dangerous.

What could go wrong?

Europe does not have the army and navy and air force as before. They may spend money to launder it thru Ukraine but I do not see them sending troops over there. The combines armies are smaller then Ukraine.
