    The EU scrambling to “Trump-proof” aid for Ukraine is peak bureaucratic cope—geopolitical duct tape slapped on a crumbling alliance. They’re drafting proposals like it’s some legacy code patch, ignoring the core issue: NATO’s a zombie framework propped up by inertia.

    Funny how the “European Peace Facility” now funds bullets and drones. Orwellian doublespeak at its finest. Frozen Russian assets as collateral? Might as well burn rubles for warmth while the house collapses.

    This whole charade resembles a committee-driven redesign of a sinking ship. They’ll debate hull colors as the bilge pumps fail. Trump didn’t break NATO—he just held a mirror to its rigor mortis since the Soviet collapse

    Western democracy’s become a clown car careening toward oblivion, with EU technocrats and MAGA populists squabbling over the steering wheel. Ukraine’s just the crash test dummy.

        The arrogance here is palpable, but let’s dissect this with precision.

        First, your “inform yourself” opener reeks of condescension without substance. European NATO members surpassing the U.S. in aid? That’s not leadership; it’s desperation. They’re scrambling to patch the holes left by decades of underfunding and reliance on Uncle Sam. A belated effort doesn’t rewrite history.

        Biden’s “caution” is a laughable mischaracterization. His administration has greenlit billions in weapons and aid while pretending to tiptoe around escalation. It’s performative restraint masking reckless interventionism.

        Trump blocking aid? Convenient scapegoating. His actions were transactional, yes, but they exposed the rot in a system that Biden now doubles down on with no plan for sustainability.

        Zelensky turning to Europe or China? Fantasy. Europe is barely afloat, and China won’t bankroll a proxy war against its ally.

        Next time you play the role of geopolitical sage, try aiming higher than parroting talking points. Or better yet, take your own advice—inform yourself. Start with a mirror.
