NATO’s super-expensive proxy war against Russia has finally run its course, ending in total failure. This may result in the obliteration of post-World War II norms in which U.S. fights Europe’s wars.

European leaders are screeching and hollering over being left out of President Trump’s peace talks seeking an end to the bloody Russia-Ukraine border war.
Despite all of the financial and military assistance from the West, Ukraine has not been able to defeat Russia. And let’s be frank, it never will.
This is the opinion of the former chairman of the NATO military committee, Harald Kujat.
The retired German Air Force general surmised that after three years of conflict, the Ukrainian army lies in ruins, despite the billions invested in it, the weapons supplied, the training of personnel and the unprecedented assistance from the West. The U.S. alone has invested some $200 billion in the failed effort to deal Russia a black eye via the Ukrainian proxy.
General Kujat emphasized that Zelensky failed to take advantage of the opportunity that presented itself, and he will not have another chance. But really, it was the U.S. and Europe who failed in the war, not Ukraine, which was never Russia’s equal on the battlefield and never will be.
The German general believes the continuation of military action with the aim of “finishing off Russia” as proposed by some delusional Western politicians who still clamor for Russia’s defeat, will only lead to an even greater humiliation for Ukraine.
Kujat was quoted by European media as saying:
“It is time for our politicians and media to take note of the bitter truth that for three years, despite enormous financial and material support from the U.S. and European allies, as well as training and modern weapons systems, Ukraine has not been able to achieve military success. And that such a possibility, if it ever existed, no longer exists.”
The Russian online journal, Military Review, stated:
“For our part, we note that there is a group of countries in Europe that want Russia to be defeated. It is headed, as you might guess, by Great Britain and France. There is also a bunch of countries yapping along, but of a lower status. The most important question now is whether they will dare to go against the USA.”
That, of course, was a reference to the new American administration of Donald J. Trump, who campaigned on a promise to end the war in Ukraine and seems to have stepped up his efforts in recent days to do exactly that.
But now the war-mongering Europeans are barking about wanting a seat at the table to negotiate the terms of peace between Russia and Ukraine. Trump seems to sense that allowing the Europeans in on these peace talks would enable them to throw down deal-breakers at every opportunity, for London and Paris really don’t want peace with Russia. They want an extension of the war for as long as it takes to ramp up their own forces to invade what they hope will be a weakened Russia.
Why should they get any say in the peace process when they have expressed zero interest in peace until now, when Trump comes into the picture demanding it?
London, Paris, and to a lesser extent Berlin, want a say in how the terms of peace will be drawn between Russia and Ukraine. These countries want equal footing with the U.S. but they want the U.S. to foot the majority of their defense bills.
In short, they want to use U.S. military power for their own geo-political advantage while shouldering only a fraction of the financial burden.
With the ascension of the Trump administration, that day is over. Even Ukrainian President Zelensky is prodding the Europeans to step up and put their money where their mouth is.
Addressing the Munich conference, Zelensky called for the creation of a new “Army of Europe” amid rising concern that Washington may no longer be willing to play the fool.
Zelensky stated: “We can’t rule out the possibility that America might say no to Europe on issues that threaten it.”

The Ukraine leader said per the AP that “three years of full-scale war have proven that we already have the foundation for a united European military force. And now, as we fight this war and lay the groundwork for peace and security, we must build the armed forces of Europe.”
Good luck. I say go for it.
Zelensky claimed that such an army would not represent “replacing” the NATO alliance but it’s rather “about making Europe’s contribution to our partnership equal to America’s.”
He added that:
“A few days ago, President Trump told me about his conversation with Putin. Not once did he mention that America needs Europe at the table. That says a lot. The old days are over when America supported Europe just because it always had.”
Of course, we all knew this day would come, when Europe seeks to raise its own continent-wide army. French President Emmanuel Macron has called for that for years. Maybe the time is finally ripe for such a move. Why should the U.S. shoulder the burden for Europe’s defense?
And here’s the bigger question: What if Europe isn’t looking for “defense,” but rather something more akin to an aggressive “offense?”
Europe is filled with wealthy countries. They need to man up. And when they do start to foot their own defense bill, their taxpayers will likely realize that their politicians have been lying to them. Russia is not interested in taking them over. Russia just wants to be respected as the sovereign nation and global superpower that it is and will no longer be bullied by the West, dictated to in terms of where and how much of its own natural resources it can sell on the global market and at what price.
Russia wants open markets for its oil and gas and other resources. It does not want the responsibility of governing European countries.
Throughout its history, whenever Russia experimented with imperialism, it did not turn out well for them. Putin understands this. Besides, he has been in office for 24 years and has not once tried to storm his troops into any NATO country. The entire basis for the Western European case against Putin lies in his intolerance of Ukraine joining the NATO alliance.
Having a militarized Ukraine on Russia’s border has always been unacceptable in Moscow’s eyes, and the West knows it. Characterizing him as a military threat to Poland, the Baltics, and Western Europe seems irrational at best, fear-mongering propaganda at worst.
And if Europe is so intent on stirring up fear among its people of the Russian bear, you have to wonder if maybe it’s Europe that would like to make war against the bear, rather than the other way around.
Perhaps that’s what this European Army is really all about. Not defense, but offense.
Whatever the purpose, the cost of building up a capable European army would bring an end to many of the social programs, early retirements and cushy work schedules so many Europeans have grown accustomed to, and see it as part of their birthright.
If President Trump is smart, he’ll call the Europeans’ bluff and let’s see where they take this idea of a European Army.
The answer to this lies with the photograph heading up this article….Zelenski.
AGAIN it is the jews at the root of this war.
The dirty little multimillionaire jew with his Swiss bank accounts and his mansions in Florida.
Stealing billions of aid from Western countries.
On the peripheral is of course other jews like Musk and Trump.
It’s going to get worse of course with the two crypto jews Starmer and Macron……
You would need a civil war in the USA to get rid of them…..
What is meant is, that the US and UK’s Zionist governments and International Jewry created European wars, WWI, WWII and all wars been and since.
They’ve turned the facts on their head. It is everybody else fighting America’s wars not America fighting everybody else’s. This is exactly how they’ve turned left and right on their heads. Biden and Starmer are harder right than most people here. They’re a different branch of the right, nothing of the left about them.
Say what you will, no one has moved to take out the illegitimate government, instead leaving Ukraine to decide it’s own future. Zero ‘game changing’ weapon systems, and no more “whatever it takes” strategerie, the best move, tip the king!
NATO admission, gimme some nukes, blatant false flags, or a European army to continue the devastation is NOT a future.
European Army? Is this some kind of joke???? 🙄
Well let’s just take a look at what UK has to offer… shall we?
1. An “Army” that could fit in a Premier League Stadium
2. A Navy with more Admirals than Ships (even when those vessels are not in dry dock!)
3. A “Nuclear Deterrent” that cant be used without Uncle Sam’s say-so… which aint gonna happen!
And even though ALL of that would be wiped by Russia – with as much effort as it takes you to stomp on a bug – in under a week…
it still wont stop the be-medalled THICKBrit Brass from parading around in their bells, braids, ribbons & bows…
and yapping like a demented poodle on crack-cocaine!
🤣
New European Army lol ,Baerbock in the panzer vanguard lmao.
From the beginning, NATO was to morph into the military wing of the United Nations. This, according to Alan Watt.
NATO is constantly at war against humanity and the biosphere.
Who will defend us against the spreading of chemtrails? The Houthis?
The poisoning goes on and on but now, thanks to RFK jr., there will be a much better recording system of adverse effects due to “vaccines”…

NATO may have failed to win whatever it wants, but the US hasn’t lost yet. Trump’s statements about Ukraine paying back US loans with Ukrainian mineral resources make me wonder if the war has been a set-up just to get people off the land and create a justification for the US to get the minerals. Or maybe the deal is that the US and Russia will split the minerals. That would explain Russia’s restraint in not quickly defeating Ukraine, as it could have done.
“But really, it was the U.S. and Europe who failed in the war, not Ukraine, which was never Russia’s equal on the battlefield and never will be.” However, Europe did not fail as it was an American proxy war, not a European one.
The Europeans did not instigate the war and were content with a pro-Russian Ukrainian government before the Rothschild-controlled Zio Americans sent their Soros NGO’s and USAID, CIA & MI6 operatives in to destabilize the place in 2012 and take in over by 2014. They did that to open hostilities with Russia which coincidentally was defending its ally Syria in the war started by the US-UK-Israeli triumvirate in 2011 in its bloody quest to crush that nation. Since then that same triumvirate has done everything possible to escalate Ukrainian hostilities against Russia and in fact deliberately provoked the Russian invasion in February 2022.
It is the obvious which the people will not look at. The Trump deal with Russia to come in a take the four western oblasts of the Ukraine had to be during his first administration, and people ought to be very skeptical about the actual reasons of the rigged 2020 election after which a completely fake President took the blame for the debacle in the Ukraine, and then with Trump coming in after as the great peacemaker. Russia simply abandoned Syria in exchange for being allowed to sweep in and take what the Americans had promised them under Trump, and a promise where they would have no effective resistance, which they DID NOT HAVE. The now keep the Ukrainian territory in effect ceded to them.
It is not 20-20 hindsight to say the Ukrainians who died in the conflict were the dupes of the wheeling-dealing Zionist Trump administration at the time of its making of the Abraham Accords with Arab nations in 2019 and 2020. It was completely obvious from the start of the Russian invasion into the Ukraine that the war was a complete mismatch although totally coordinated and controlled by the Americans. They deliberately slaughtered about a million Ukrainian soldiers to forge the deal of dividing the Ukraine for Russia getting out of Syria.
Americans will never admit how their pragmatism has become so very evil, nor will they consider the facts and admit the millions and millions of innocent people they have murdered in their wars. Trump comes along for his second term and somehow blames the Ukrainians and the Europeans for the war, but not his own nation. The Russian hyenas skulk off with a good hunk of the Ukraine while the American, Jewish, and European jackals devour the rest. Russia abandons its base in Syria and the Assad government flees to Moscow, and then Russia accepts instead a miliary base in Africa for its Mediterranean fleet, in order to continue the global protection racket with the US.
RFK Jr. is allowed to clean up some of the toxins with the most poisoned, unhealthy, dysfunctional, and fattest people on the planet, and Musk in managing the nation is using all of the intelligence collected over the past four years to trim off most of the excess fat in the government, as the nation hunkers down and prepares for another war, but not against Russia or China. Their gunsights are on Iran, and it is all according to the Rothchild development plans for the entire Mid East area.
Sorry for spreading my little chemtrails over the Trump parade of hope and goodness, but the US remains as evil as ever.
I think Trump is either the most powerful political leader in the whole world or the most powerful idiot!😒😢
