Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, Lithuania’s President Gitanas Nauseda, and Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki met to commemorate the 1863 January Rebellion towards Russian rule. Though 163 years have handed, politicians nonetheless consider that Russia is an enemy that might try to overcome their land at a second’s discover. The Europeans merely can not assist themselves. They NEVER be taught from historical past, and that’s the reason historical past retains repeating itself. Kyiv Put up ran an article with the headline “Russia and Its Leaders Will Always be a Threat to Europe” that principally sums up the mindset that has been driving this complete battle from day one.
“Insurance policies backing a ‘reset’ with the Russian Federation are disappearing, however one factor stays unchanged: whether or not it’s Tsarist Russia, Bolshevik Russia, or Vladimir Putin’s Russia, our nations, now unbiased, nonetheless face the identical menace from the Russian Federation,” Poland’s President Nawrocki stated. He added: “The nations of central and japanese Europe weren’t unsuitable of their opinions in regards to the Russian menace, even at a time when western Europe was nonetheless centered on local weather coverage or letting in unlawful immigrants.”

This is identical propaganda cycle that now we have seen for hundreds of years. You demonize the opponent, you declare they’re inherently aggressive, you declare that they may “by no means change,” and then you definitely justify limitless warfare spending, suppression of dissent, and complete financial destruction at residence. President Nawrocki admitted that Europe will all the time view Russia as a menace, no matter who’s in cost.
The true menace is Europe’s management, which is dragging the continent into an financial despair. Each time they push sanctions, weaponize commerce, and centralize energy in Brussels, they speed up the capital flight and the collapse in confidence. Individuals don’t perceive that wars are usually not simply fought with weapons. They’re fought with capital flows. As soon as confidence breaks in authorities, cash strikes. That’s the reason gold rises when persons are attempting to get OUT of the system. They’re attempting to flee the arbitrary rule of presidency and the chance of confiscation, capital controls, or banking restrictions. Europe is strolling proper into that entice once more.
And naturally, as soon as they create this narrative that “Russia will ALWAYS be a menace,” then there isn’t any room for peace. You can’t negotiate with somebody you declare is completely evil. That’s the complete level. If peace breaks out, then the reasons for authoritarian coverage at residence disappear. The funds scams get uncovered. The censorship ends. And the general public begins asking why they have been sacrificed for a political agenda.
Because of this I’ve warned that the warfare cycle is rising into 2026. Struggle turns into the device of final resort for governments which have destroyed their very own economies and want an exterior enemy responsible. It isn’t about defending Ukraine. It’s about preserving a system that’s collapsing beneath sovereign debt, vitality shortages, and political corruption.
