That’s certainly what they want you to accept. What Putin wants you to believe.

The USA empire doesn't work by having individual governments enter secret conspiracies to obey the USA in favour of their own interests. The USA government and military are just stewards of the empire, the empire doesn't exist to benefit them.

Ultimately the majority of oligarchs whom the USA empire exists to serve are born in Europe, or they come from European dynasties that happen to live in the USA. It's simply a system of systemically and organically empowering those who benefit capital.

The EU, which has incredible sway over the politics of EEA nations, is explicitly an organisation that exists to create oligarchs out of capitalists. And who are the European capitalists? Are they staunch nationalists? No of course not, they're globalists with huge amounts of wealth tied up in USA stock exchanges. That means that with only one level of separation, the EU's explicit mission becomes an implicit mission to strengthen the USA empire's power over EEA nations.

But this is clearly a case where US and European interests diverge.

I would recommend this video to you on the topic: https://youtu.be/J_4srRdIK4k It's recent and current, made by a person who supports social democracy, that is to say, he's not a socialist or a Marxist. He doesn't use marxist dialectics in his analysis but still comes to the same conclusions. I think you'll find him more agreeable. He presents clearly without making assumptions about prior knowledge, citing all his claims, as much as possible using Western sources.

You should definitely elect better leaders. If something is consensus in all so called "democracies", is that everyone thinks everyone else need to elect better leaders. The majority of the working people, which comprises the majority of population of most (pseudo-)democratic countries are mostly unsatisfied with their governments. This is occurs repeatedly and consistently in all liberal democracies, with a few exceptions. If there's something all liberal representative democracies look alike is that most people don't feel their interests are being represented by their government.

There's a reason why this happens in all capitalist societies. Note that it's not an individual issue and the reason is not lack of education and stupidity, as people often say, as even well educated individuals do bad voting decisions. This is a social and systemic issue and it's not a coincidence.

I won't tell you why, I want you to think about it. Then tell my why this happens.

You losers should really expand your list of rote thought terminating cliches, they get incredibly repetitive when you just use them over and over again.
