Former CIA Director of Russia Analysis: Europe is Trapped in Fake Narratives about the Ukraine War
George Beebe, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen
I had a conversation with Alexander Mercouris and George Beebe, a former CIA Director for Russia Analysis and current Director of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. The clash in the Oval Office occurred as Trump and Vance were determined to start negotiations, while Zelensky was seen to be extremely dismissive. The Europeans do not have any alternatives to Trump’s peace plan, only an effort to do more of the same and escalate as the war is lost. The Europeans have been captured by narratives, making accepting reality nearly impossible.
It's the sheer hypocrisy of the US! It was the US that started this war in the first place and now that the proxy war has gone pear-shaped, the US has dumped the entire mess on the EU with the UK as the stalking horse (a lame one) So now, all the pundits come out of the woodwork. The nerve of it, it's breathtaking! So Europe is the proxy in the guise of NATO, which is really the US. So now, the UKEU picks up the pieces left by the US and of course, these gangsters got away with it all because of the total complicity of the state/corporate media that did the lying! As ever, it's the Russian and Ukrainian people who paid the price with their blood!
The thing is, the EU apparatchiks KNOW these narratives were manufactured for political purposes by the previous globalist US administrations and they KNOW they are false. They are largely globalists themselves, hence their disdain for "populism", i.e. democracy, and their ongoing support for these narratives, and for which antidemocratic impulses their own voters are rejecting them en masse.
We can't keep running around calling them stupid, mistaken, "captured" etc.
They KNOW.
They also know that the parties in conflict talking to each other is the only way that wars end. Their insistence that nobody talks to Russia is an explicit demand that the war continues.
They're the rulers of Europe; there's no excuse nor any real possibility that they don't know these things.
In sum; they're evil.
Deal with it.
