A picture that tells you all you need to know about Europe (aka The EU). The gravy train is a very small club, and you ain’t in it.
The proles can eat cake, and can rough it on city streets beset with rabid animals raging around with machetes and knives, but they can’t complain about the West continually poking the Bear, NATO’s war on Russia, or ever increasing energy bills, collapsing industry and infrastructure………
Yes, the great and good of Europe attended a hastily convened meeting in Paris on 17th February 2025.
Totally irrelevant, but very, very dangerous, carefully selected European leaders, NATO’s figurehead Rutte, (the most unhinged NATO leader ever) and Starmer, met to discuss how to block the new US administration’s fast-moving efforts to bring peace to Eastern Europe.
In other words, the meeting was about prosecuting the Ukraine war to a final, conclusive and glorious victory for Hero President *elensky, and achieve the ultimate goal of smashing the Russian Federation to pieces, and stealing its natural resources.
Continued war escalation, and even more military support for a country that was never going to beat Russia, and is slowly bleeding to death, is how they plan to do it. It may even mean mobilising the mythical ‘European Army’ against Russia, if needs be.
Starmer wanted European/NATO troops on the ground ‘officially’, with the USA as a ‘backstop’. Or should that be buttplug?
He must know a bit about modern and recent Russian history, and Russia’s very simple and reasonable demands of its neighbours, that have remained unchanged for decades, so surely understands NATO boots either inside or just outside Ukraine will never be acceptable to Russia, and war will therefore continue. How many times do the Russians have to explain that?
With the US no longer ‘on board’ with war, Trump is getting down to the serious business of ending it, with top level meetings between USA and Russia said to be coming very soon indeed.
President Trump has, perfectly reasonably, and accurately, described Hero President *elensky as a dictator (cancelled elections, no current mandate, opposition parties banned (19), TV channels shut down (17 since 2014, with several of those closed very recently), and his Nasty thugs terrorising citizens on the streets as they haul young men into vans to be sent to die on the frontline.
Applying that word to *elensky has, understandably, triggered Europe’s snowflake politicians bigtime, because, sadly, the sort of dictator activities the Ukraine President has been getting up to are right up Brussels’ and Two Tier’s streets.
Trump’s statement was beyond the pale for Europe’s political pygmies, who responded by doubling down on their support for the regime, putting themselves foursquare on the side of War, and in opposition to Peace.
So as well as being at war with Russia, these fools have now set Europe at war with America.
Thanks to Ursula and chums, Trump no longer owns the war, Europe does! The EU and Starmer have literally stepped up to own it – not by default, but by choice. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so tragic for the Peoples of Europe.
America can now leave the stage if it chooses, and Europe can fight Russia on its own. Expect many US troops to leave Europe, and bases to be closed. In that scenario, the European political class will really have to face the music.
A recent report in the FT stated that: “Europe needs to recruit 300,000 new soldiers, acquire 1,400 new tanks and roughly double its defence spending over the next five years to be able to defend itself without the support of the US, research warns.”
And that five years is arguably a pretty optimistic lead time for highly sophisticated kit.
That research was conducted by Guntram Wolff, senior fellow at Bruegel and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, who went on to suggest that Europe would have to spend an additional €250bn a year “in the short term”, effectively doubling collective defence spending to 3.5 to 4 per cent of GDP.

So good luck with your war, Ursula, Mark & Kier. The real joke is that no-one really wants to attack Europe, apart from the millions of immigrants European politicians are letting in anyway.
The nonsense that Russia is about to invade Western Europe is just that – nonsense. At the moment. They had to crank up military production and recruitment just to get up to speed to deal with NATO in Ukraine, so to say they had a standing army ready for, or even capable of invasion, is a little far-fetched. But good propaganda, nevertheless.
Immediately after the Nordstream pipeline attack, undoubtedly carried out by the USA & UK, and probably the greatest act of industrial terrorism in modern history, von der Leyen said the perpetrators would be found and brought to justice. Since she uttered those words……….. silence. The only people paying for that attack are European citizens.
Europe looks like a bit of a basket case, and not one of the people around that opulent Paris table seems sane, rational, knowledgeable, open-minded, or capable of critical thinking. Or free from Central Control, for that matter.
How much longer can the EU last before it implodes, or worse still, the continent is turned to ash?
Starmer and The Globalist Left in Britain want to re-join the EU now, but that seems like voluntarily joining the USSR in 1991, or buying a ticket for The Titanic.
A quick look at the UK government website reveals that fully 9 years after The Referendum – the biggest, and most engaged democratic vote in British history, members of the EU cult are still stuck in the first stage of the Kübler-Ross grief cycle. Maybe they should seek counselling?

Still hoping to hand back the tiny bit of independence the traitors in Westminster deigned to offer as a sop to voters all those years after the Referendum.
It’s a mystery why the closed, protectionist Brussels governmental model, seemingly based on the former Soviet Union, with an unaccountable unelected politburo handing down decrees to a tame, rubber-stamp parliament to ‘legitimise’, and ordinary voters powerless and disenfranchised, remains so attractive in an increasingly multi-polar world.
The disasters that the lunatics of the EU continue to inflict on ‘their’ people can’t be overstated, with the biggest yet, a Euro-Russian war, seemingly just around the corner.
That would surely be the ultimate ‘achievement’ to follow the EU’s leading role in overthrowing the democratically-elected Ukraine government in 2014.
Moribund: the Ukraine peace process?; the US-Europe relationship?; Ukraine?; Zelensky?; the EU?; Europe’s warmongering leaders?; Europe itself?
