🏰 Now the EU finds itself locked into:

💢 forever sanctions on Russia (with China to follow);
💢 a forever subsidy to ‘Kiev’;
💢 a forever cycle of NATO militarism; 
💢 an economy sliding into de-industrialisation,
💢 high energy costs and relative diminishment. 

The EU has not achieved its longer-for ‘global player’ status. By every measure, Europe has a diminished economy, and diminished agency around the globe.

For the last thirty years, neo-cons have dominated U.S. foreign policy. Europe is not ‘America’. The neocon trend represents but one facet to the U.S. that nonetheless has captured and held the commanding heights of U.S. policy-making for decades. 

It has failed in all that it has endeavoured, and has become increasingly detached from (even) the most basic interests of most Americans. Yet the EU leadership has made Europe subservient to this particular current – embracing it, and its inherent authoritarianism, with gusto.

Has this uniform ‘destiny’ benefitted the citizens of Europe? It has not. Have not its results proved unpredictable and different from that which was initially desired or expected? Recall: ‘Destiny can be a b*tch’! ❌
