Big Europe Has Lost the War Over Ukraine

Mick Hume

The strategy is obvious: to propagandize the public into accepting, if not celebrating, our “new normal” in which elderly couples are put down like household pets.

Much remains uncertain about the final outcome of the war in Ukraine. On the diplomatic battlefield, competing peace plans (28 points? 19 points? Crimea in? Crimea out?) have been flying backwards and forwards between capitals. Meanwhile in the real warzone, the Russian military continues to rain down military drones and missiles on Ukrainian cities, and the bodies continue to pile up on both sides in fierce street fighting, with no end in sight.

One indirect result of this bloody conflict, however, should already be clear enough. The leaders of the European Union and their UK allies—which we might collectively call Big Europe—have lost the political war over Ukraine. The EU’s claim to be a major global power player in the modern world have been thoroughly exposed as the fantasies of an ageing pretender.

Not for the first time, President Donald has been the breaker of Europe’s globalist dreams. The U.S. president sprang his proposed peace deal with Russia on his European allies, almost without warning. When a U.S. delegation met with Ukrainians in Geneva, European officials were left in the background of the photo-ops, if not outside in the corridor.
