Went through five articles in the NYT before I got to the important issue (do I care if Brits are going through massive energy inflation? Not a bit). Their new PM is a hardliner on Putin. She will fight Russians to the last Ukrainian.

From the NYT: “Shock Waves Hit the Global Economy, Posing Grave Risk to Europe”. Should feel sorry for them? They chose to support Zelensky’s ultranationalism. Did they expect no consequences?

Sooooooo…the Ukrainian War is not just Europe against itself, but Slavs killing other Slavs. Should I care?

I started this thread to document Europe’s continuing slide to the right, got distracted by Europe’s war with itself in the Ukraine, but Sweden’s turn to the right has motivated me to rename this thread. NATO and America together has formed something I can call the New Axis. So sue me. Caveat: I still wish Putin would put a bullet in his head. He is an ultra-Nationalist too.

So Italy votes today and Europe may get another populist dirtbag as PM. Why do I care? It’s just interesting how a new generation of Europeans are embracing a xenophobic outlook.

We’ll see what side God is on depending on how cold this winter is. Unless of course it is Allah who is deciding.

Did I want to die for Kiev? Not really. Where was my “Free Will”?

Had an Italian thread even though Italy is so boring but trashed it because even electing a far right PM doesn’t make it less so.

After being interrupted by the Ukraine blood fest I decided to redirect this thread to it’s original intent: To observe Europe’s slide into Neo-fascism. So I also decided Italy was not worth its own thread so Italian news goes here. Europe goose-steps into the future!

I’m looking forward to watching Germany suffer this winter for its anti-Russia bloodthirstiness

Western Civilization is at war with itself in the Ukraine. Will it self-destruct? What would be the bad part?

I almost opened a Giorgia Meloni thread because she is such a crazy bitch.

The second article in the latest Foreign Policy is by the Chancellor of Germany, and predictably it claims Germany is awesome and Russia sucks. And Germany is firing up the panzers. Basically, it is helping Ukraine do what it could not from 1941 to 1945: More elbow room for the West.

If you are trying to compare the war in Ukraine with previous wars, you have more than one option. The most popular narrative I think is Putin as Hitler, with Ukraine taking the place of Poland. But there are other comparisons. Is this war an invasion or a civil war? Depends who you ask.

Whereas most of the time I am disgusted with the stupidity of the Europeans and their war, today for a break I’m feeling amused. What a bunch of clowns getting themselves in a war. What will Europe be like when it’s over?
