EUROPE GOT HANDED ITS BIRTH CERTIFICATE: NOW GROW UP! (UPDATE)
Per Alexander Merkouris' historical perspective (below) the anti Russian sentiment in the West is not a novelty, nor is it a natural state of affairs. As observers of history and geopolitics have pointed out, states do not have friends, they have interests. Hatred is not the opposite of love; indifference is. Hatred is a psychological phenomenon producing projection and a total lack of self awareness hiding guilt and envy. Given the history of the Cold War and the ideological expansionism that is in the nature of Communism, the fear in central and Eastern Europe for Russia is perhaps understandable. But the pathological Russophobia in the western part of Europe has no basis in present reality. It is rooted in a delusional narrative for political gain.
After the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 -- rightly or wrongly -- Russia was seen by many as its continuation and called 'the third Rome' (link). I think the source of Western Russophobia must be sought there. We must not forget that the Turks may have sacked the city, but that was after centuries of Western European scheming, harassing and pilfering (not to mention the Fourth Crusade (link).
(That, Hellenism, Romaness and the state of Orthodoxy in Greece is subject of a stream today by Jeem: check it out if the subject interests you particularly (link)).
It has been established by observers like Mike Benz (link) that the plans at the heart of NATO's anti Russia campaign must be sought in the American security state. Russia is a huge country that can't be conquered or even geopolitically 'managed' in its current state.
So, if you run an American Empire and the main rival is occupying 'the world's island' according to the Heartland theory by McKinder (link), the thought of breaking up Russia and loot its minerals, is not an irrational thought. Evil, and risky, but not irrational.
The time that Europe effectively was treated and conducted itself as an American protectorate, is well and truly over. The times have irrevocably changed, leaving the dinosaurs behind. The post World War 2 liberal rules based order has been buried and not a moment too soon.
It is about time that Europeans shook their old reflexes of fighting out disagreements on the battle field. That means that the people of Europe have to grow up and take ownership of their respective countries, as Americans have done before them since 1776.

Reminder - JD Vance: "The leader, I forget exactly which official it was within the European Union, but sent Elon this threatening letter that basically said, we're gonna arrest you if you platform Donald Trump, who, by the way, is the likely next president of The United States."… pic.twitter.com/8B8isRA07L

Europe's bought and paid for political class; no different from the communist apparatchiks from my youth. They clap enthusiastically to an illegitimate president, a dictator who sacrificed Ukraine's youth, a liar and a cokehead. https://t.co/ix8XYAr0eO

It is our lands that our forbearers have tilted and built for two millennia by their own blood, sweat and tears. Politicians are not a landed gentry that owns us in a state of feudalism. We are proud, emancipated peoples who hire politicians to serve us for a short period of time and if they fail, we replace them.
