I was with you until “they should be looking east”.
No, we shouldn’t. We should be looking to strengthen Europe. If anywhere, we should be looking south, to the decent countries that do exist in South America and Africa. Despite all the issues with the US you point out (that I largely agree with), they’re still a quasi-democracy, that doesn’t regularly disappear dissidents or wipe out ethnic groups. They’ve shown that they’re volatile and untrustworthy, that doesn’t make China or russia a better alternative.
regularly disappear dissidents or wipe out ethnic groups
The US does that constantly everywhere.
And do you think the African or South-American countries that have been colonised and leeched by Europe want to cooperate with us?
No, they turn to BRICS if they are not ruled by some vasal puppet.
What have we done for them?
We made Frontex, defending Fortress Europe shoot at immigrant boats and turning them away effectively sending them to their death.
They wouldn’t even be immigrants if we hadn’t meddled in their countries and fucked them up.
Also heavily complicit in the Palestinian genocide.
Think those countries like our ‘European values’ the EU political ghouls keep talking about?
Russia is our neighbour and we need to live in peace with them.
There wouldn’t be a Ukraine war if the US hadn’t caused regime change.
And now we suffer the consequences from sanctions while the US profits from them.
And China, the most important economy in the world should also not be our enemy.
That only benefits the US who want to see this happen exclusively for their own interests.

Wipe out ethnic groups? I mean they invade but Uighur and Tibetan ethnic groups still flourish. Are there other examples?
