Europe is in an abusive relationship with the U.S. From Pepe Escobar at strategic-culture.su:
In the Kremlin’s strategy the ultimate aim is to demilitarize and smash NATO. We’re getting there, slowly but surely.
We may always dream that following an Ariadne’s thread we might, just might, extricate ourselves from the current, incandescent geopolitical labyrinth by applying an exceedingly overhyped commodity: logic.
Yet the post-everything, cancel culture West has also cancelled logic.
When in doubt, at least we can go back to foundation myths.
So let’s go back to the birth of the West, as in Europe.
Legend tells us that one fine day Zeus happened to set his roving eye on a beautiful girl with big, bright eyes, a daughter from a thalassocratic civilization in the Levant: Europa.
A while later, on a pristine beach in the Phoenician coast, an extraordinary white bull showed up. Europa, intrigued, got closer and started to caress the bull; of course, that was Zeus in disguise. The bull duly annexed Europa and darted towards the sea.
Zeus had three sons with Europa — and left her a spear that never missed its target. One of these sons,
as we all know, was Minos, who built a labyrinth.
But most of all what legend taught us was that the West was born out of a girl – Europa – who came from the East.
