Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, Lithuania’s President Gitanas Nauseda, and Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki met to commemorate the 1863 January Rebellion in opposition to Russian rule. Regardless that 163 years have handed, politicians nonetheless consider that Russia is an enemy that would try to beat their land at a second’s discover. The Europeans merely can’t 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 mainly sums up the mindset that has been driving this whole 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 jap Europe weren’t fallacious of their opinions concerning the Russian menace, even at a time when western Europe was nonetheless targeted on local weather coverage or letting in unlawful immigrants.”

This is identical propaganda cycle that we’ve got seen for hundreds of years. You demonize the opponent, you declare they’re inherently aggressive, you declare that they are going to “by no means change,” and then you definitely justify countless battle spending, suppression of dissent, and whole 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 actual 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. Folks don’t perceive that wars should 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 making an attempt to get OUT of the system. They’re making an attempt to flee the arbitrary rule of presidency and the danger 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 not negotiate with somebody you declare is completely evil. That’s the total level. If peace breaks out, then the reasons for authoritarian coverage at residence disappear. The price range scams get uncovered. The censorship ends. And the general public begins asking why they have been sacrificed for a political agenda.
This is the reason I’ve warned that the battle cycle is rising into 2026. Conflict turns into the software of final resort for governments which have destroyed their very own economies and want an exterior enemy in charge. It’s not about defending Ukraine. It’s about preserving a system that’s collapsing below sovereign debt, vitality shortages, and political corruption.
