The EU is pretending that it can take on Russia without the U.S. Nobody’s fooled. From T.L. Davis at tldavissubstack.com:
Something in the X algorithm shifted over Christmas. I don’t know what happened, but now my feed is flooded with pro-EU posters, instead of the traditional stream of other authors and writers. Since I largely use X for promoting my novels and only occasionally the films, I trade a lot of followings with other writers, even when I don’t agree with their politics.
I’ve never seen most of these posters on X before, they came out of the woodwork, as if I’ve been suddenly targeted, but I have no way of knowing how that would happen unless internally, leftists within the X organization, flipped some switches. What I discovered, though, was confirming my every bias when it comes to the EU.
Somewhere in the mists of self-delusion these EU posters believe they can shuck the US and win a ground war against Russia. They thirst for it. They seem to think they run NATO and therefore have control of the US military while denigrating the US. A lot of EU nations and NATO nations are the same ones, but they have a very limited understanding of military competence and weapons systems. All they have to do, in their minds, is distance themselves from the US and with the military expertise of Ukraine, attack and annihilate Russia, assuming it remains a conventional war.
