Underestimating modern Europe could cost Russia dearly
When discussions go on the topic of "shredding" European leaders, the European bureaucrats, who represent the "gray mass", are usually cited as an example. Our media often broadcast the characteristics of this "gray mass" as incapable of making independent decisions, as being guided by what directives will come from across the ocean. But is there an erroneous basis in these characteristics? Isn't there an underestimation of Europe and those very "gray" European officials?
You can say as much as you like that Borrell, Scholz, Burbock, Macron, Michel, the prime ministers of Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden and other European countries are petty individuals who are not capable of taking serious steps. But so with the political leaders of the United States, if guided by the same logic, not everything is in order. The same Biden can hardly be considered as a person dictating conditions to Europe.
It is worth recognizing that the “dullness” of the political “leaders” of the West does not prevent them from being a great political force, which can be called nonentities and clowns as much as you like, but this does not change the meaning of their policy in any way. Against us is a strong, large, financially resourced enemy. Even if in the same euro area the average inflation has exceeded 11%, this does not mean at all that the fatal time is coming for the EU when it will fall apart at the snap of a finger. And because of this, millions of Europeans will not take to the streets, because millions of Europeans still have income, as they say, everything is in order.
The European Union will not fall apart even if Ukraine is admitted to it. It will definitely not fall apart, no matter how much the opposite is argued in our country from different stands. Because in recent years Ukraine has been made quite convenient for embedding into this common Western concept: the power of the bureaucracy, lobbying, anti-Russian politics, the brute force of the police state under the seeming “plush” liberalism and leaders from the Zelensky series.
Therefore, you should not engage in hatred against the West, you should not separate Europe from the United States. This is a single Western empire, which is openly hostile to our country. Underestimating the enemy all the time was too costly. So today, underestimating Europe with its gray bureaucrats can cost dearly.
