It is kind of amusing now to watch the news of the world and see all the European aristocrats patting themselves on their backs for successfully bringing the Special Military Operation in Ukraine to a conclusion and now arguing over whether the USA should provide all 100,000 peacekeeping troops the Europeans have decided will be required to keep the peace and also if the USA should pay 100% of the costs or 200% of the cost.
They are all most concerned that it does not appear that anybody in the Trump administration wants or needs their valued input into just how to go about screwing the vile Mr. Putin and the equally odious Russians for causing the war and they want to have a huge say in the reparations that President Trump is going to demand that Putin pay.
It is probably safe to say that you could not find a group of morons more loosely attached to reality than the current heads of the European Unions Defense, Political and Military arms.
These are the faces of the people that have set EU policy for the last 20 years and they mean business. Naturally, they don't mean to wage war on Russia or anything gross like that, they'll be happy to leave that sort of violent and reprehensible behavior to the Americans but they are all unanimous in declaring that they will be significant players in the imaginary peace talks they think that they will roll into and dominate much the way Obama dominated the Peace Talks when he stopped that war and won the Nobel Peace Prize in his first week in office. Socialists are like that.
If you look at the facts in the matter it is pretty clear that between them and Biden they have done about as much damage to Russia as it is possible for them all to do and it is pretty clear that they mean to take back nothing because in their minds Putin and Russia MUST BE PUNISHED! There is little doubt that they are all 100% in favor of continuing the economic embargo, trade embargo, energy embargo and stealing any Russian money they find lying around where they can get their hands on it. You know, for the peace that's in it.
They are content to do all these things for the 'justice' in it and because they will never feel any ill effects out of continuing the war against Russia. Yes friends this does put me in mind of the lines of an old old poem by Kipling because these harpies seem familiar but I'm not going there. Today, I'm reading The Road to Gandolfo again and the rulers of EU made me think of this:
Among the many truly amusing things about what I've been seeing on the news tonight were all the claims and assertions that Sweden and of course the BENELUX and maybe the British would provide peacekeepers in Ukraine and of course I wondered, 'did these idiots totally spaz and miss out on the part where Putin is adamant that there will be no NATO troops in Ukraine and slipping in enemy troops in the guise of peacekeepers is as old and stupid a trick as building a giant horse and rolling it up in front of the gates of your enemy's capital city?' It is not ever going to happen. If any PK come into being which I put at under a 1% chance, they will be from China or maybe South Africa.
I think that the first thing Mr. Putin will insist upon is everyone who stole Russia's money gives it all back with interest and also finding and punishing publicly the people who destroyed the NORDSTREAM pipelines and the people that ordered them destroyed. The kind of people that are that rabid cannot be left to run around loose biting other socialists into doing their bidding. There is too much madness at the top to let the rabid run things.
As usual there is also an underlying assumption made by all those who made and consumed the fake news about the war in Ukraine. All of them believe that Russia is on its last breaths as a nation/state and is going to topple over dead any moment now and the rest of us all know that the only reason the Russians haven't ended the war is because it always helps out the strong men governing any group to be able to point to the EXTERNAL enemies and keep the people focused on them rather than on the sacrifices demanded in the fight against them and wow, haven't the EU and NATO done a bang up job of doing that.
Those interested in the history of actual peacekeeping missions are welcome to look at KFOR, IFOR, SFOR and other NATO PK missions in Europe and of course all the UN Peacekeeping missions.
It seems that a number of Europeans have missed the appeal of President Trump. It is time to wake up now and realize that the old world passed away painlessly the day he assumed office this time. Literally nobody cares what the clowns running Europe think anymore. We in America haven't cared for decades but the rest of the world is beginning to see Europe as the clowns they have become.

clear, concise, to the point, well-written
if I've repeated myself, it's because I'm elderly and I've seen all this posturing before
I, too, cannot believe how many have looked at and greedily eaten this bushwah about Russia and Vladimir Vladimirovich
these people (we used to call 'em know-it-alls) are like heads of grain swaying in the breeze - all depends on which way the wind is blowing
Look at that bunch, think of the book "The Guns of August" about the summer of 1914, and despair. The "leaders" (and leader-ettes) are just as out of touch with reality as the royal families of 1914 Europe were and the same potential for war is there.
The truly amazing thing that EVERYONE forgets is that they always think that it cannot happen again because we're just too darned civilized and interconnected and it would be cultural suicide......and then it happens again in the seeming blink of an eye.
