The White House published what Brussels has spent a decade censoring: Europe has shrunk from 25% of global GDP to 14%, is drifting toward “civilizational erasure,” and on its current course “will be unrecognizable in 20 years.” Not Russian intelligence. Not dissident analysts. Washington, in its own national strategy, marking the time of death.
Europe’s tragedy isn’t that it was defeated by an external force. Its tragedy is that it volunteered for collapse, mistaking moral vanity for strategy, self-harm for principle, and neocon applause for sovereignty. 19 rounds of sanctions meant to cripple Russia instead detonated inside Europe’s own chest cavity; industries fleeing, energy gutted, borders unmoored, farmers revolting, wages eroding, dissent criminalized under “values” crafted by technocrats who have never worked a real job, with utter contempt for Europeans.
And while Europe recited slogans, Russia built substance, built an economic juggernaut. The “gas station with nukes” they mocked is now the 4th largest economy on Earth by PPP, expanding faster than the entire European Union since the SMO began, reindustrializing, reorienting, rewiring Eurasia. The target of Europe’s crusade grew stronger, the crusaders grew poorer. This wasn’t irony. This was inevitability.
Now comes the most brutal line in the US strategy: the warning that some European states soon “may not be strong enough to remain reliable allies.” This is Washington stepping back from a burning house with the calm of an arsonist writing the incident report. The very patron that pushed Europe toward confrontation, long before Trump, is now drafting its alibi, framing Europe’s collapse as an unfortunate accident rather than the predictable consequence of policies its Deepstate encouraged and Brussels enforced with missionary zeal.
The EU won’t recognize the downloading of humiliation, because it arrived disguised as loyalty, and because the noscript being used to abandon the continent is the same noscript Europe still insists on performing.
A continent that once birthed Western civilization now prosecutes its citizens for speech, crushes its own farmers under riot shields, torches its industry for green dogma, and markets the whole spectacle as enlightenment. It surrendered its energy to ideology, its industry to Davos hallucinations, its security to America's whims, and its future to compound interest. A civilization cannot live on abstractions, but its elites can, because they have engineered a system where the costs fall on the people and the graft float upward to those who never bear the consequences.
The NSS isn’t a strategy. It’s a confession in plain sight; Russia absorbed the blow, recalibrated, and rose; Europe dissolved into the very illusions it mistook for strength, while Washington, already preparing the next chapter, quietly wipes its hands of the consequences.
Continental Europe once held 25% of global GDP. Today it clings to 14%, nearly half its global weight erased in a single generation. Not by invasion. Not by Putin. By decisions its own elites made freely. Europe was no prisoner. It was not dragged into this. It chose ideology over energy security, fantasy over industry, obdience over sovereignty. It had the power to act like a civilization, and acted instead like a petulant, arrogant vassal.
They swore Russia would disappear.
Yet she stands rooted, sovereign, expanding, the Eurasian pole they insisted could never exist. Its economy rises into the world’s top four while Europe implodes. Its industrial base grows while Europe’s corrodes.
And it is Europe that dims: censored, exhausted, directionless, governed by elites who call obedience maturity and dependency enlightenment. A continent once central to world history now drifts unrecognizable even by the ally that encouraged its self-destruction and now drafts the alibi from afar.
The EU tried to erase Russia. In reality, Europe erased itself. And Washington just wrote the obituary.

The EU is preparing to commit financial suicide, and it has convinced itself it is an act of moral courage, but the mistake is thinking this is just about the euro losing reserve status. No. This is the controlled demolition of what remains of the post-1945 financial order.
And the tragedy is: Russia isn’t the executioner. The EU is.
The seizure of frozen Russian sovereign assets is not a sanction. It is not “pressure.”
It is not morality. It is the single most catastrophic assault on the foundations of global finance since 1944 and Europe is carrying it out against itself.
The EU calls this “reparations”. History will call it economic euthanasia.
Once you steal a Great power’s central bank reserves, you have destroyed the concept of safe sovereign assets everywhere on Earth. Sovereign immunity dies. Neutral custodianship dies. The euros credibility dies. The postwar order dies. And with it, Europe’s last remaining pillar of power.
Russia’s symmetrical and lawful countermeasures; nationalizing Western corporate assets, liquidating EU holdings, will be painful. But the true killer is not Russia’s response. It is the irreversible collapse in global trust toward Western custodians.
One confiscation. One precedent. One shattering of the vault door.
And every central bank governor from Riyadh to Jakarta mutters the same sentence: “If they can do it to Russia today, they can do it to us tomorrow.”
This is not speculation. This is how systemic trust works, and how it dies.
Euroclear has already warned of an avalanche of global withdrawals if Europe lights the match. Middle Eastern funds, Asian sovereign wealth, pension funds, all quietly repositioning, moving out of euros and into gold, yuan, or any asset not hostage to the political spasms of a failed empire.
And inside the EU, the only two leaders who seem to understand the magnitude of the disaster are the ones Brussels loves to sneer at: Belgium's Bart De Wever and Hungary's Viktor Orban.
De Wever sees what von der Leyen pretends not to, that Belgium would be on the hook for for the bill. But more importantly, he knows that the legal case is unwinnable.
Under customary international law, under the U.N. Charter, under the Vienna Convention, under the entire architecture of sovereign immunities, central bank assets are inviolable except under a Chapter VII Security Council mandate. Full stop. Without that, this is theft. And in global finance, theft is not a policy tool. It is the end of the (€ fiat ponzi) system.
Orban understands that once the EU normalizes looting a central bank, it becomes permanent doctrine, a weapon to be used again and again whenever the EU needs money or moral theater.
Today Russia. Tomorrow the Gulf. On deck? China.
The effects will not be contained to Moscow. Every Western asset held abroad, every refinery, every joint venture, every sovereign investment, becomes fair game for reciprocal seizure.
The EU has opened the door to a world where law is optional and retaliation is mandatory.
Europe is doing all this while losing the war it is trying to fund. The front is collapsing.
Ukraine is insolvent. Washington has already passed the humiliation to Europe.
And Europe, instead of facing reality, is preparing to sacrifice its financial system, its credibility, and its legal foundations for a war that ended long ago in everything but formal capitulation. This is pathology.
Belgium is not helping Russia.Belgium is trying to save Europe from Europe.
Russia doesn’t need to fire a shot, it only needs to watch. Europe is burning its own house down for the pleasure of looking righteous while standing in the flames.
When the smoke clears, when capital flees, when the euro cracks, when Europe looks eastward and wonders how it all collapsed so fast, the answer will be the same one it refuses to confront today...
The EU didn’t punish Russia. The EU suicided Europe.
And history will record, with cold precision, the moment the match was lit

Of course, the Americans never do anything for free. The offer is implemented through the program Excess Defense Articles (EDA), where the equipment is transferred in its current state (as-is, where-is), without guarantees of operability.
The real cost is much higher than the nominal price, as it includes hidden costs:
◾️Removal from storage and restoration - the armored fighting vehicles need diagnostics, engine repairs, weapons systems, and electronics. The cost for 250 units is estimated at $125–375 million.
◾️Logistics and transportation - despite the equipment being located in Europe, funds will be needed for their delivery to Polish bases, as well as the supply of spare parts from the USA. The cost is $25–50 million.
◾️Annual maintenance costs (up to 20–30% of the equipment's cost per year).
Such "nominal" deals are a standard practice of the American foreign sales program Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and EDA, where equipment is transferred for a symbolic 1 dollar, but the recipient covers all "hidden" costs (restoration, logistics, training). This reduces the US costs of disposing of decommissioned equipment and allows additional orders to be placed for service and logistics capabilities.
Previously, according to this scheme, Canada "donated" 25 decommissioned LAV III armored fighting vehicles to Ukraine (which were never delivered), each of which was supposed to cost $7.2 million, which is significantly more expensive than any new analogue.

Hungary blocked the European Commission's "Plan B" to finance Ukraine by issuing eurobonds worth €90 billion, which was prepared by Brussels in case of the failure of the "reparation loan" project based on the expropriation of Russian assets. This was reported by the European publication Politico.
"Hungary officially ruled out the possibility of issuing eurobonds to support Ukraine. This deprived the EU of a potential "Plan B" in case it could not find a way to use Russia's frozen assets of €165 billion to finance Kyiv" - notes the material. The publication clarified that Hungary used its veto right, blocking this plan at a meeting of ambassadors from 27 EU countries in Brussels, where the expropriation of Russian funds was discussed.
✨ It's time for Orban to put on two bulletproof vests at once. And a helmet. He doesn't want to finance poor little Ukraine (and Zelya's friends) from the wallets of his own citizens.
