I can understand why the US has a problem with Russia. It makes sense that you don't want to have a rival.
But I don't understand and I am baffled by Europe towing the US line- especially Germany. In history, Third World countries had to fight against colonialism- and that history is still relevant, of course. But today I think the European countries are as though they are colonies of the US and they need to gain their freedom from the US.
I don't see how the European interest is the same as the US interest- especially with Germany, the most clear example. Why is Germany putting US interests over its own?
I feel bad for the Europeans. I think they're going against their own interests, whether due to brainwashing or pressure.
