Well not only did we send billions in military aid to far right extremist, gave out harsh sanctions that skyrocketed domestic prices, crippling our economy but we also managed to get overtaken by our 'enemy'!

You'd say this is all a failure for Europe, but it isn't. Big companies are raking in record profits. Energy companies can charge whatever the fuck they want with no limit whatsoever, effectively tripling CO poisoning deaths in my country. The US stranglehold on the EU has become even more tighter and NATO influence has grown. Not to speak about the boost this has given to the right wing. By all means, these sanctions have had their wanted effects. The goal was probably not to hurt Russia but to cripple the EU and their relationship with Russia.

Exactly, people tend to make the mistake of treating capitalist society as being homogeneous where everyone has common shared interests they all work towards each in their own way. The reality of course is that it's a society of class contradictions, and what hurts the working majority is often in the interest of the exploiter class.
