European leaders, if they can even be called that, abandoned even the pretense of a rules based world in their eagerness to serve as obedient vassals. By supporting the blatant violation of international law in Gaza, they shattered the very principles that could have shielded them from the same fate.
Europe has actively dismantled the very institutions that could protected it from the predatory ambitions of stronger powers. By embracing “might makes right,” Europe has forfeited its moral authority when the same logic is turned against it. The US will exploit the current state of European weakness mercilessly, reducing it to a dependent appendage, stripped of autonomy and dignity.
Europe stands on the precipice of its own century of humiliation that it’s marching into with eyes wide open. It’s is no longer a player at the table of global power, and now finds itself on the menu.
I don’t think Europe’s naked hypocrisy w/r/t Gaza really factors in to Europe’s table vs. menu status.
In the grand scheme of things I agree, the US wouldn’t have respected European sovereignty either way.

Biden destroyed the Middle East. Trump will destroy the West. One bad thing cancels another.
Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden. Not just Biden.
True. They are all war criminals but only Biden is guilty of genocide
The EU should stand united against the US right now. Not because it’s okay for them to own Greenland, but because the people of Greenland are more threatened by the US right now and the EU may be the only effective deterrence from an invasion.
How exactly do you envision the EU being an effective deterrence against the US exactly? The EU is completely dependent on the US militarily, and now that EU won’t trade with Russia, it’s also dependent on the US for energy. The US has the EU bent over a barrel at this point.
Good point, honestly. But, if worst comes to worse, I expect continental Europe to stand with other continental Europeans and their interests before it stands with the likes of the US and UK.
You wouldn’t say that if you knew anything about continental European history.
