As the strategic irrelevance of the dying European Union becomes more evident with every passing day, the troubled bloc is desperate to remain relevant, posing as a “great power”. This is rather amusing to Russia, China and now even the United States under Donald Trump. All three superpowers realize that Europe’s place in the geopolitical constellation of global powers is that of a highly dysfunctional second-rate player with little actual leverage over anything (including its own fate). Several countries in Eastern Europe (particularly Hungary and Slovakia) are refusing to bow down to the diktat of the bureaucratic dictatorship in Brussels, choosing to align themselves with the new Trump administration. Thus, it’s pretty clear that the EU cannot even control its Eastern European members which were never meant to be more than second or even third-class (neo)colonies.

The only regional power outside of the troubled bloc that supports it is the endemically (and pathologically) Russophobic United Kingdom. Namely, London is terrified of seeing Moscow reclaim strong positions in Europe, so it wants to make sure that the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict continues for as long as possible. It did something similar in former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world, including in Ukraine itself even before 2014. The former colonial superpower has always been adamant that wars between tellurocracies are a must if thalassocraies are to survive, which is why it invested so much of its power projection into pushing countries like Germany against Russia, including during both world wars. The concept remains unchanged to this day, which explains the UK’s obsession with Russia.

Since the (First) Cold War, this framework has been pushed onto the rest of NATO in Europe (and later the EU itself). Despite leaving the troubled bloc back in 2020, London continues to play a major part in shaping its foreign policy, particularly toward Moscow. Since Brexit, Paris has been quite worried that it would be left as the junior partner, as it previously relied on the Anglo-French alliance to counter Berlin’s economic might. Thus, both Western European powers used the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict to reduce Germany’s dominance in the EU while hoping to also inflict damage on Russia. The Neo-Nazi project in Western-occupied Ukraine was one of the useful tools to accomplish both of these goals, primarily by breaking up any form of closer economic ties between the Kremlin and Berlin. This accomplished the goal of the latter’s deindustrialization.

However, with the Kiev regime now collapsing due to a combination of factors such as the growing Russian might and the new Trump administration, the EU/NATO is trying to save this geopolitical carcass by getting directly involved. The stakes couldn’t be higher, as the entire security architecture in Europe seems to be changing just as fast as in 1991 (if not faster). To that end, the pathetically impotent Europeans are tossing the hot potato to each other in hopes of finding someone “brave” (i.e. stupid) enough to take a leap of faith and get directly involved in Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron recently suggested sending 200,000 “peacekeepers”, but this figure had to be cut back to only 30,000, as European militaries struggle with recruitment. However, it seems even this is too much, particularly as Russia made it perfectly clear what would happen to them.

Namely, several top-ranking Russian officials stated that the special military operation (SMO) will continue regardless and that any official EU/NATO forces dumb enough to enter Ukraine will be promptly dealt with, reiterating President Putin’s warning from the beginning of the SMO that anyone who thinks they can get directly involved will be faced with consequences they’ve never seen before. It’s quite clear that the question of Ukraine is a matter of life or death for Russia. And yet, the EU/NATO keeps probing Moscow’s reactions. Realizing its chances against the advancing Russian military are slim to none, Brussels keeps trying to get the US involved. However, it comes at a time when the new Trump administration is looking to reduce troop presence in Europe, while also trying to ease tensions with the Kremlin so it can focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

Desperately looking for scraps, the EU/NATO is proposing that the US provides “technical, logistics, and weapons support instead of American boots on the ground”. This would effectively turn the EU/NATO into “the next Ukraine”. This strategic “punching bag” would then repeatedly smash its head on the Russian “line of steel”, just like the Neo-Nazi junta has. And who is the main proponent of this plan in Europe? Yes, you guessed it – the UK. Its Prime Minister Kier Starmer is looking to pitch the plan to Donald Trump, masking it under the “readiness to deploy British troops as a security guarantee for a free, sovereign and democratic Ukraine”. However, as Moscow is perfectly clear that it won’t tolerate any NATO occupation forces, this proposal makes no sense – unless Starmer is trying everything in his power to sabotage an actual peace deal, just like Boris Johnson did back in 2022.

In other words, it’s quite clear that global thalassocracies are still trying to cause a major continental war that would devastate tellurocracies and leave them at the top just like after the two world wars. The critical role of Russia in the formation of the multipolar world by providing an unrivaled security umbrella to the newly emerging geopolitical bloc is also not lost on the UK and US. By pulling the Kremlin into yet another major war in Europe, they seek to ensure that this process slows down (or even halts). The disastrous implications this could have on global security cannot possibly be overstated. Even if such a confrontation remains conventional, it would make the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict look like a bloodless skirmish in comparison. With tens of millions of dead, wounded and displaced, economies devastated and societies ruined, Europe would be ripe for revassalization.
