    What strikes me about this article is not whether the claim is true or false, but how easily geopolitical conflicts are framed as moral dramas between nations rather than as struggles driven by competing state interests. Governments on all sides appeal to fear, especially nuclear fear, because fear unifies populations behind policies they would otherwise question.
    Ordinary people in every country have little real control over these decisions, yet they are the ones expected to bear the risks — economic hardship, insecurity, and potentially catastrophic war. The language of national defense often hides the fact that states act primarily to preserve power, influence, and strategic advantage.
    Instead of asking which side is more righteous, it may be more useful to ask why humanity still organizes itself into rival power blocs capable of destroying each other, and why democratic control over foreign policy and military escalation remains so limited. Until people begin to see their interests as shared across borders rather than divided by them, cycles of tension and propaganda will likely continue.

    That is a struggle between capitalist gangsters, the same things as the different Sicilian families

    The US has loosened sanctions preventing other countries buying Russian oil and petroleum already loaded on vessels at sea to try to ease the energy supply crunch sparked by the US-Israel war with Iran.
    US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the “short-term measure” was aimed at promoting “stability in global energy markets”.

    Britain and Europe still determined on war with Russia in spite of Trump.

    Orban is trailing in the polls and an election is soon. The EU will be doing its utmost there.

    The US has abandoned the supply of new weapons to Ukraine; now, they are requesting a $200 billion budget for the war in Iran. They are moving military equipment from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. The big cake is in the Middle East, and they know that the proxy war in Ukraine is already lost; in some way, Russia has obtained what it wanted

    But the russophobes in the Senate are only waiting, like the Europeans and the UK, for a new incumbent in the White House to resume the Biden policy.
    And, when Orban is defeated in his election, the EU will give Kiev another 90 billion Euros.

    That is correct. This world is governed by capitalists and pro-capitalist gangsters

    I still cannot see the CAPITALIST ECONOMIC motive behind Europe’s policy on Russia and Russian energy.
