  • They know it’s an effective strategy, because Americans love to blame other country’s leaders for their own failures. Anything bad in Amerikkka, or anything bad that happens to Amerikkka, must be because of some nefarious outside influence.

    It also helps that Americans have an extremely short term memory, and easily forget the things politicians have previously said or done. Most of them don’t even remember that Kamala campaigned on making the US have the “most lethal military” on Earth, and repeatedly added that Iran was America’s number one enemy. They were already setting up a narrative in order to prepare people for an upcoming war with Iran. It was going to happen no matter any election results, because the empire’s ruling class decides.

    When America isn’t doing well in a war and the people oppose it, just make the opposition party campaign on being “pro-peace” and ending wars, then immediately go to war again and pick up where you left off, rinse and repeat.










  • Europe loves to pretend they’re sovereign actors who stand up against their master, but when push comes to shove, they fall right back in line like a good lapdog.

    It doesn’t help that the current crop of ghoulish EU leaders such as von der Leyen and Kallas are as pro-Amerikkkan as they can get. Whenever the US threatens them, they downplay it and somehow find a way to make it about Russia instead.

    They don’t really want to give up their cozy position within the imperialist superstructure, which they’ve greatly benefited from for a long time. Instead, they cling on to this desperate hope of weathering the storm until EU-US relations eventually normalize and they can take their rightful place again, possibly under new US leadership.

    At this stage, there’s a higher chance of European infighting (like the recent disagreements and growing rivalry between Germany and France) than any serious confrontation between Europe and the US.
