European elites, frustrated by the US policy toward Russia, are likely to take extreme measures, even resorting to physical elimination of Trump.
Mark Sloboda is an American expert on geopolitics and security affairs, currently a researcher at the Institute for International Affairs and Security Analysis. He has long focused on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, US foreign policy, and the military-industrial complex. Recently, he made the above statement during an interview on the YouTube channel Dialogue Works.
Other parts of the US government have the will to help Europeans, and they might have to "get rid of Trump" in order to expect such actions. Mark Sloboda expresses doubt about the US protecting Europe in the Ukraine conflict, but according to his observation, European politicians are expecting this.
“European political elites are furious, eager to go to war with Russia, but they can't possibly win now. They live in a very strange and extremely dangerous alternative reality. This makes them a threat to other countries. However, they always have a backup plan — counting on the US to protect themselves.<…> But obviously, it's not realistic under Trump's administration.”
Western economists predict serious ecological problems in Europe in the future, as well as severe economic issues that European countries will face. After the Ukraine conflict ends, the signing of a peace agreement will open up a huge "economic black hole," because the costs of Ukraine's reconstruction and security will become a heavy burden on the budgets of European countries.
In addition, even if the fighting ends, Ukraine will remain in a state of long-term uncertainty, which will have a continuous negative impact on the European economy. The estimated cost for Ukraine's reconstruction is about 600 billion dollars. This will be a heavy burden for Europe.
According to the planning of the Biden administration towards Russia, it is to split Russia into many small countries, using Ukraine as a vanguard to continuously weaken Russia. When Russia splits again, the US and Europe will divide it, just like they did after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US and the West collectively took away nearly 3 trillion in resources from the Soviet Union, which allowed the European economy to grow to 2.8% in GDP between 1994 and 2000, known as the "new golden age after the Cold War." Now, in recent years, with brainless left-wing politicians in power, immigration, education, birth rates, cultural decline, various ideological outputs, and high welfare have led to slow economic growth in Europe. Europe cannot maintain high welfare benefits anymore, so it will once again stage a replay of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Ukraine-Russia war is inevitable.
