Europe is sleepwalking into another world war: Russia is at war with Ukraine because it is at war with Nato, which is commanded by the United States
More than 100 years after World War I, Europe’s leaders are sleepwalking toward a new all-out war. In 1914, the European governments believed that the war would last three weeks; it lasted four years and resulted in more than 20 million deaths. The same nonchalance is visible with the war in Ukraine.
The hundred years before 1914 offered Europe relative peace. What wars took place were of a short-lived nature. The reason for this was the Congress of Vienna , which brought together the victors and the vanquished from the Napoleonic wars to create a lasting peace.
There was also regime change in the 1918 humbling of Germany, but it all ended up leading to Hitler and an even more devastating war.
The world is far bigger than what you get to see through European or North American lenses. Seeing through these lenses, Europeans have never felt so strong, so close to their larger partner, so sure of standing on the right side of history, with the whole planet being run by the rules of the “liberal order”, a world finally feeling strong enough to go forth sometime soon and conquer — or at least neutralise — China, after having destroyed China’s main partner, Russia.
