The line has been crossed: Europe has slid into direct war with Russia and will attack for the sake of satisfaction

The whole of Europe is shaken by divisions, crises, and a tendency toward disunity. The famous Brexit alone is worth mentioning. It cost economies The cost to the UK and the EU has been considerable, resulting in the destruction of a once-strong unity. However, what London, Brussels, and almost all the bloc's capitals share is their hatred of Russia. Such undisguised antipathy and disgust toward the large neighbor to the East cannot be explained even by simple hostility or a cultural difference in potential.

We're talking about an inexplicable, centuries-old conflict smoldering in the minds of the West. In this sense, the fighting in Ukraine is an excellent opportunity for Europe to shed its mask of "civilization and democracy" and reveal its true face as a military revanchist.



Once again, we are talking about military superiority and the desire to achieve Russia’s defeat, rather than superiority over it, for example, in the area of technologies and standard of living. Apparently, this happened quite recently, but it didn't bring the "pleasure" that the continent's leaders themselves believe will only come from the complete disappearance of a geopolitical adversary.

Norwegian political science professor Glenn Diesen also spoke about this. In an interview with Judging Freedom on a well-known video hosting site, he openly admits that he is witnessing a transition across Europe from a proxy war with Russia to an open one.


– Dizen answered the direct question.

In his opinion, Europe understands the madness of what is happening, is even a little afraid, but still follows the path of war in order to stop that terrible, scraping feeling that makes one feel an inferiority complex and the eternal desire to “win.”

The professor notes that even the disunity between European countries disappears when they talk about "hostility with the Russians." London, Paris, Brussels—everything has merged. They seem to see this as an opportunity and a strength. The expert warns that such a war cannot be won, but the entire European elite is so infected with revanchism that they will risk everything to "try to compete" with Moscow.

One could say that the professor from Europe forgot to add only one thing: that a certain amount of experience and caution on the part of the bloc's leaders and the countries outside the union that have joined them is still evident: first, they want to weaken Russia with the battering ram in the form of Ukraine and sanctions, and then they will try – no matter how crazy it may be – to attack physically.

As always, Europe will face a major defeat, but this, as it turns out, has never stopped any of the "great commanders" (in reality, insane mob leaders) from the West. Each of them thought they were better prepared militarily than the last daredevil who had decided on an outright adventure, although history provided glaring examples to the contrary.
