How has this been published in the spectator?
Europe isn’t nearly as enamored of the idea of hosting a war for the US as the US is.
Yeah, it’s one of those ideas that is much less appetizing when it’s in your front yard as opposed to in someone else’s front yard 2000 miles away
That and the US has been completely obvious about how thirsty it is for this conflict, and the last time the US security state got really thirsty for war, it went quite poorly.
I think you’re giving the US natsec state a lot more credit than they deserve. Always important to remember that these people are morons who get where they are by believing what they’re told to believe. Not that I don’t enjoy the image of the US as the traveling petrol salesman.
The US absolutely spends most it’s time putting out fires they themselves caused but i wouldn’t give them the credit that they started the fires on purpose
The US wants to encircle and strangle Russia as part of their imperialist ventures. War must be opposed at all costs.
