I remember Biden trying to create all kind of European-Ukrainian agrrements to finance the war after the elections. He explained that trouble is coming, they need to be carefull, etc.

Fast forward the Europeans are shocked and with empty pockets, Zelenski is shocked about the European shock.

That's because nobody warned them.

I think Western elites are now doing a perfectly fine job of dividing Western democracies into rival camps of pitchfork and torches people without Putin's help, and they have been for quite some time. Divide et impera. Only one side of this oligarchy believes in the traditional post-1990 security architecture, the other side believes in something else; what that is exactly is hard to say, but the 2016-era typing of Trump as an FSB plant has even gone out of fashion on CNN. He may well be, but perhaps it is less relevant if he is. Just like the last time, he got on the order of $100M from a certain Adelson. The ludicrous technofeudalist-cum-"libertarian" Musk bought his way into executive power with something like $40M, so what's $100M? $40 per West Bank Palestinian? Or an even "better" "deal"?
