The present US government has unilaterally ended "mutual respect" by intentionally disrespecting the sovereignty of our peaceful neighbors. We have no reason to expect respect in return.</p><p>What the people running the US government are doing is nothing short of horrible, and the passive aggressive way they speak about it as if somehow they're doing everyone a favor just adds additional outrage to the mix.</p><p>The only people served are those like Putin who stand on the side waiting for newly minted enemies to weaken themselves so he can move in for the slaughter.</p><p>This is ugly.

Félicien Breton 🍉 🔻 🌱<p>Cognitive dissonance</p><p>Until February 2025, Europe had been a willing tool of US foreign policy. Realizing it just now, the rulers cannot change their belief in standing for good versus evil. So they choose to change their narrative from one of enlightenment to one of rearmament.</p><p>"In spite of all the grand-standing and posturing, Europe has been reduced to a geopolitical appendage of the United States, following Washington’s lead in prolonging the conflict while shouldering the costs. While the EU sees itself as a global moral authority, it has been sidelined in actual negotiations. Instead, peace talks are being brokered by the U.S. and China, with Europe playing no decisive role. Even within the European Parliament, there exists a near-religious belief in a narrative that contradicts basic military and economic realities."</p><p>(Read or watch) <a
