A lot of Europeans have been quietly waiting for the war to stop so we can go back to trading and doing capitalism with Russia.

You're obviously never going to hear this take much because it can get you fired from your job and it's a social taboo.

They have fully bought into the idea that they are going to win and that USA is their reliable friend. That's why they humiliate themselves like this, but honestly I can't wrap my mind around their actions sometimes, surely USA has to be pulling the strings or something no way anyone would actually choose to be like that by their own free will.
