European Commission’s war mongering against Russia is to distract from its crumbling empire

European Commission’s war mongering against Russia is to distract from its crumbling empire

The European Union is facing a crisis due to the lack of a clear strategy among its elite leaders, such as Ursula von der Leyen, Kaja Kallas, and Roberta Metsola.

The EU’s focus on war with Russia is a distraction from its economic decline, corruption scandals and internal issues.

The European Union and the European Commission have become enemies of their own citizens, with their idiotic rules, tyrannical laws, the death of press freedom, rampant corruption scandals and belligerent posturing,  Sonja van den Ende writes.

Concluding, “The European Union must be dissolved, or a new beginning forged.”

These days, we hear a great deal of rhetoric and propaganda from the European Union (“EU”) and the European Commission (“EC”). But upon closer inspection, it is the “puppets” – those who supposedly pull the strings – who seem incapable of making sound decisions. These puppets are often the politicians at the helm, such as Ursula von der Leyen, her vice president Kaja Kallas or another equally uninformed figure: Roberta Metsola, the former president of the European Parliament until 2024.

One might argue that, in their folly, they are steering toward war with Russia. But why do these elites view Russia as an enemy? The roots could be traced back to World War II – a conflict that, in many ways, was never truly resolved. Yet I see it more as a symptom of the dire straits afflicting Europe: rampant crime fuelled by economic refugees (since 2015) and the resulting economic decline. History shows us time and again that nations in financial distress often stumble into war over the most trivial pretexts.

The European Union (and the Commission) has been speaking almost exclusively about war, just as it did at the recent informal meeting of EU defence and foreign ministers in Copenhagen – convened on 28-30 August 2025, under Denmark’s presidency – one day before the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (“SCO”) summit in China’s Tianjin on 31 August and 1 September.

Brussels and most member states are preparing for a protracted war rather than peace between Russia and Ukraine.

“The European Commission is effectively acting as the Ukrainian Commission, putting Kiev’s interests above those of its own member states,” Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “They want to send billions of euros to Ukraine for soldier salaries, drones, weapons, and to keep the Ukrainian government running.” Enormous pressure was also exerted during the Denmark meeting to accelerate Ukraine’s accession to the EU, impose new sanctions on Russian energy and allocate another €6 billion for weapons.
