Europe dismisses its own unfortunate history of false ‘peace’ making.
It’s been funny to watch the tabloids in Europe regarding the Zelensky visit to the Oval Office on Friday.
Andrew Neil, a British columnist of mostly tabloid expertise, defends Zelensky as Europe has now for years—as a heroic martyr (but he’s still alive) to Russian perfidy. The heads of state, or the stateless heads of the EU hegemony (still also alive and well in Brexit Britain via EU’s still active EU International Court of Justice there) sent out an apparently coordinated tweet in support of Zelensky’s untoward behavior in the Oval Office. One wonders about the very recent U.S. visits from Starmer and Macron. Were they a set up, too?
After all, Europe has been in a tizzy ever since President Trump made clear his intention for peace in this war. Thus far, as long as we pay the tab, Europe has signaled it’s good for more fighting...as long as Ukrainians spill their blood and America foots the bill.
European courage hasn’t always been all it’s cracked up to be. It was France that, for years, played dead for Hitler’s occupation, until American troops liberated Paris. Were it not for Churchill, Britain would have surrendered to Hitler in the name of a false peace.
The Zelensky kabuki theater on Friday won’t stand the test of a week or so. In America, we are beginning to find out a little of what went on under Biden, war-funding-wise. This would include, of course, hundreds of billions (final figures TBA) in the form of weapons and taxpayer cash to Ukraine. Regarding that cash, as many of us suspected would happen, it’s been ‘lost’ in the politically storied Biden ‘Ukraine’ memory hole.

Trump said the UK money were loans
Starmer corrected Trump and said the money was loans and gifts
I would like to hear the breakdown between loans/gifts
90/10? 10/90?
Ukraine fights, America pays, and Europe lectures and preens.
The way to answer this is very simple. Tell the Yurps if they want to lead, feel free to do so. Step right up. Spend more of your own money. Send your own troops.
Otherwise you don’t “care”.
We all know they will never do any such thing. They don’t even have the troops because they’ve been freeloading off of America for their defense for generations.
And as usual POTUS was/is 100% correct. In creating the EU and trying to create a unified block to compete against America the heritage and spirit of the countries involved has been destroyed. Obeying a group of unelected micromanaging ideologues will do that to people as well as to Nations.
