I think this is true across the entire political spectrum in the US. Our social media reads as a mix of apathy, nihilism, signaling and historical ignorance. In other words, many of the people who by all rights should be happy with their comfortable lives in the wealthiest country on earth have somehow decided the world is a terrible place, everything is terrible, it's all going to hell, so let's just pull whatever thread seems likely to piss someone off who's got it slightly better than me and see what unravels. Americans are ingrates.

USA is just a nation that invents their enemies and imbues them narratively with demonic power which they are later really too scared of to efficiently act upon in any manner.

Europe had no common enemy a few months ago. European countries wanted to subconsciously tear each other apart. Now Putin has created a common scapegoat. As long as nukes don't fly, the west is actually better off than before.

Actually there's no scenario where Europe or the planet ends up better of as a result of this.

All of that will increase resources wasted for militarization, lower the efficiencies of the economies and delays action on climate change.

And all of that is the best case scenario.

Europe is now (possibly) united, but only in suffering.
