Trump meets with European leaders & Zelensky at the White House, August 18, 2025. |
A Russophobic madness has gripped most of the European Union countries. Pressured by Washington, they have committed to dramatically ramping up their military spending. The rationale is that Europe needs to prepare to confront the supposed Russian threat.
On the level of facts this makes no sense at all. NATO military spending is way higher than Russia’s and NATO military strength, at least on paper, is far greater. And, most importantly, there is zero evidence that Russia wants to attack Western Europe — absolutely no evidence whatsoever! It doesn’t even seek to occupy all of Ukraine, merely to stop NATO from converting the country into a forward base for operations against Russia. But when a war drive is underway and the corporate media is on board, facts are just an inconvenience that can be ignored or explained away.
