Larry Johnson: “Europe on the Brink of War with and Russia and Iran?”

Both Iran and Russia have said independently that if European countries are involved in any way in attacks on their countries, they will retaliate with attacks on Europe. If Europeans think the US will protect them, or that Russia is afraid of this, they will find out that they are sadly mistaken. There is indeed only one general war, which is the US empire against the rest of the world. But the US is losing interest in protecting its vassals in Europe from Russia. The US protection racket is weakening. Europe is starting to realize this. The stupid response by the European leaders like Merz is to say that Europeans must vastly increase military spending to protect them from the Russians – at the expense of their own citizens. The smart response is to ask why, if the US is no longer protecting them, then they should repudiate all the sanctions the US made them levy against Russia, and start buying cheap Russian gas and oil again. Merz can’t conceive of doing this, but I think the German people are beginning to see this. Western European leaders would rather start a war with Russia than let this happen.
