Europe tried to sell Zelensky as the Churchill of Kiev.

Trump just told the world he’s closer to P.T. Barnum, a showman running a democracy-themed circus without the inconvenience of elections.

In one interview, the mask dropped. Trump didn’t tiptoe. He detonated.

“They haven’t had an election in a long time... It gets to a point where it’s not a democracy anymore. It’s time to hold an election. They’re using war not to hold an election. Ukrainians should have that choice.”

That’s the U.S. president publicly declaring what Europe spent years forbidding its citizens to say: Zelensky is unelected, and ruling by wartime decree while preaching “democracy” to donors who fund his survival. And with those words, the entire moral edifice of Europe’s Ukraine crusade snapped.

Trump didn’t stop at legitimacy: “Russia has the upper hand... He has to start accepting things.”

But the deeper detonation was aimed at Europe itself. Trump downloaded humiliation onto an entire continent: “Most European nations are decaying. They’re weak... Europe doesn’t know what to do.”

In those sentences, Trump exposed Europe’s deepest fear, that behind its moral theatrics lies a hollowed-out, Russophobic managerial class that mistook psychosis for strategy and posturing for power.

For years, these same Eurocrats marched Europe into economic ruin, even preparing to blow up what remains of the post–WWII financial order just to preserve the farcical illusion of “standing up to Russia.” In their addict-like desperation, they now move to steal Russian sovereign assets, a stunt so reckless it threatens the very foundation of the fiat Ponzi. And when Europeans began to question this madness, Brussels answered with Orwellian repression, weaponizing the DSA to silence speech, even exporting censorship across the Atlantic, all to suffocate the moment when the truth about the war finally breaks through their propaganda firewall.

Europe’s leaders know peace means a reckoning, a reckoning for the sanctions that immolated industry, for the energy suicide that bankrupted households, for nuclear debt mortgaging their future, and for the lies told daily to hide military collapse.

Russia didn’t defeat Europe. Europe defeated itself, consumed by a Russophobic delirium that justified any policy, no matter how suicidal, so long as it fed the delusion of moral supremacy.

That’s why Europe fears peace more than war. Peace brings accountability. Peace reveals betrayal.

When Trump said Europe is “decaying,” he was diagnosing a worldview collapsing under its own contradictions. When he said Europe is “weak,” he wasn’t mocking, he was acknowledging a continent that outsourced its sovereignty to Washington and now screams in panic as Washington walks away.

And Zelensky? He is now the symbol and mirror of everything Europe gambled and lost. Unelected. Corrupt. Out of options.

History was never fooled. Because the the collapse didn’t begin with Trump’s interview, his interview merely said aloud what reality had already written. That Ukraine could never win. That Europe could not lead. That Zelensky could not escape a mandate he no longer had. And that the entire Atlanticist project was built on a myth too fragile to survive contact with the map.

As the smoke clears, the reckoning comes into focus, a Europe stripped of its fantasies, a leadership exposed in its impotence, and a Ukrainian puppet president discovering that once legitimacy evaporates, even the noscripted applause fades.

And when Washington stops believing the story, the story ends. That is the moment we’ve reached.

Zelensky’s borrowed authority is spent. Europe’s manufactured unity is exhausted. The war narrative that held an entire continent hostage is collapsing under the architecture of its own psychosis.

And as Trump speaks the truth Europe spent years suppressing, the final scene comes into view: a West forced to confront not the enemy it imagined, but the ruins of the illusions it built for itself.

🇧🇦 Defying the viceroy
Serbian resistance to imposed rule in Bosnia

Republika Srpska’s 2025 crisis became a test of whether outside authority could override an elected leadership. After Milorad Dodik was removed following a high-stakes trial driven by decisions of the High Representative, Sarajevo moved to impose snap elections, widely seen in RS as an attempt to force a compliant presidency. The vote unfolded under sanctions, legal pressure, and a narrative of “extraordinary intervention” meant to reshape the entity’s political landscape.

SNSD responded by rallying behind Siniša Karan, framing the race as a defense of Dayton-era autonomy. Despite low turnout and mounting tensions, RS voters delivered him a narrow victory.

The outcome signaled that external pressure hardened—rather than weakened—political resolve inside Republika Srpska.

Europe spent four years constructing a fantasy: Ukraine advancing, Russia collapsing, “victory” just one more weapons package away. Now that fiction collapses in real time, replaced by a US ultimatum giving Zelensky days to accept territorial loss.

This is not a negotiation. This is a political obituary.

What Europe called a “moral stand” was always a mask for strategic, moral and economic decay. They preached strength for decades while outsourcing every decision to Washington, they promised triumph while their own industries sank, they shouted about democracy while defending a puppet who on London's orders refused elections.

And now the bill has arrived.

The United States wants peace by Christmas. Europe wants war to delay its own reckoning. Zelensky wants time, the one currency he can no longer borrow.

The clock wasn’t handed to Kiev. It was handed to Europe.

Because Washington has decided the war is over. And Europe has no real army, no strategy, no energy security, an economy it suicided, and no political mandate to oppose it. A continent that pretended to lead now learns what disposable vassal means: you don’t control the war, and you don’t control the peace.

The countdown exposes everything Europe tried to hide: that it was never a co-author of this conflict, that its leaders lied to their own people about “victory”, that sanctions immolated their economies for nothing, that their proxy was never capable of winning, and that the post-WWII order they worship still requires American permission.

Europe via Zelensky isn’t being asked for input. He’s being notified of terms..

This is not just the end of the imperial project Ukraine. It is the end of Europe’s fantasy of relevance.

The reckoning is no longer theoretical. It has begun.

🇺🇸 Politico had to conduct a new interview with Trump. The genius of world politics once again demonstrated that he is well versed in the subject matter:

“And every time, looking at the map, I thought: ‘Oh, how beautiful Crimea is. Wow! It's surrounded by the ocean on all sides. There's only a small stretch of land to get to its main part. I mean, Crimea is huge. It's surrounded on all four sides by the ocean in the warmest part. There's the best weather, all the best things,” Trump stated.


The level of professionalism is impressive. It would be nice to add more geographical information to the historical references in the negotiations, even at a school level.

“They’re manipulating and reframing ethnic cleansing.”

Journalist Ahmad Eldin at the Doha Forum Youth Edition said major Western media outlets, particularly the BBC, are distorting reality in their coverage of Gaza by presenting forced displacement as a humanitarian act rather than a crime under international law.

He argued that this example reflects a wider failure by mainstream media to uphold basic journalistic principles when reporting on Palestine, abandoning accuracy and accountability at a critical moment.

🇩🇪 Media: Germans plan to approve 29 military procurement contracts worth a record ~$61 billion as early as next week

The Bundeswehr is going into debt, but plans to once again flex its mechanized divisions and lackluster sausages in Europe. Notable contracts:

▪️$25.7 billion — military equipment and uniforms (🇩🇪);
▪️$4.9 billion — Puma armored personnel carriers (🇩🇪🇫🇷);
▪️$3.5 billion — air defense systems Arrow 3 (🇺🇸🇮🇱) and their ammunition;
▪️$1.8 billion — military satellites.

Earlier on Monday, December 8, Merz once again publicly and live made a promise to make Germany the strongest army in Europe. Such a New Year's gift for arms corporations was made by Merz, who was put in this position.

According to forecasts, Germany will reach record defense spending (3.5% of GDP) by 2028–2029, when the start of an open confrontation with Russia is considered most likely.
