The "Meta State" in Europe is vasal to the neocon deep state of the US oligarchy, which backed Clinton, Obama and Biden then Harris, but has always been against Trump, who has sought support from other factions of this oligarchy.

Over a decade now of that factional battle going on. Trump-fronted group now has the upper hand, but the European vassals apparently dont have the option of changing sides.

Its gang warfare at like Brussels-Davs-DC level, basically.

However, I would be careful not to underestimate how deeply the neocons and their Euro-vassals are dug into their trenches.

Today in Reuters (basically a deep state house rag) was one example of how deeply then are immersed in their own fantasy world. In this article the narrative offered is that Russia wants war because they cannot afford to exit their war economy. What follows as "evidence" of the narrative is a bizzare lurch from contradiction to contradiction. Russia's economy is "Overheated", but actually its doing badly? There is low unemployment and the people have jobs and money but then Russia is supposedly having a "labour shortage" ? Russia has mobilized people into the military from poor regions and trained them and put them in the army, but apparently those people have "no transferrable skills" and would have nothing possible they could work at if Russia has peace?

Basically it was every weird circular and at the same time self-contradictory argument that could be made to pretend that it is RUSSIA who doesnt want peace. NOT the Europeans who sabtaged the Minsk agreements, and told Zelensky now to refuse to hold peace talks.

These people are DEEP in their own endless lie. I dont see how they can ever be brought back to reality.

One has to assume that Trmp and co will sweep them out of power.

Taking your observations and propositions to the civilizational level, and reiterating a suggestion I've offered, Europe is resisting a fundamental geographic shift of power. Its age of domination has ended. It is soon to become a tourist destination on the western edge of (Eur)Asia.

Europe, primarily via Britain, clung on to its self image as both the intellectual and operational source of world power through the US after WWI/WWII. Rooseveldt demanded the dismantling of their empires, and build the US Empire in their place during the Cold War. So was the vassalage of Europe begun.

NATO expansionism and Zionist wars produced money for various establishment figures/industries from the end of the Cold War during the Hegemony. We now have a situation in which China is leading the world, and most shockingly, they are doing this not just in manufacturing, but in technology too. Their dual currency financial system (Yuan/Renmimbi) is more flexible than the single national currency model too.

The constant economic warfare and agreement betrayal by the US against every nation outside of its allied bloc has, like Newton's law of action and reaction, forced them to unite. The irrational Russophobia in Europe and the US, and their fear of a unity between Germany and Russia, drove Russia to the east. Then Europe denied itself a massive collection of affordable, Russian raw materials which will complete its de-industrialization and tourist destination destiny.

I don't believe it will be Trump who sweeps the current European leadership away, but the peoples of Europe. The next domino, following NATO, will be the EU. This is a good thing. It needs to be rebuilt modeled on a federation. The Commission and the current model of the Euro, with uniform monetary policy across the Euro-zone enforced by the ECB, are broken.

We are in a dangerous period of adjustment. The locus of power has shifted to the East. The institutions of the old location are mixed in their responses; some are reconfiguring, others are head-in-the-sand resisting. Whoever is advising Trump is correct in so much as the US needs to pull its head in. We are seeing that as a return to a Mackinley-esque tariffs and western hemispheric focussed policy. There are other approaches which would be more productive (cooperate with China), but it is what it is.

The US needs to get its military back to the Western hemisphere and stop policing the world. Its biggest challenge in doing this are not the Europeans, but he Israeli Zionists. Just as Ukraine will benefit from being de-nazified, so too will the US benefit from being be de-zoinized.
