-- If Europe wanted to make sure Ukraine would win the war they could do so.
They refuse to do it. We can speculate why.

Europe has relied on the US for military support since WWII.
Hence their ability to give people free education, healthcare, vacations, etc.

They are spoiled. I have actually interacted with people on European forums who
adamantly deny the US helped them win WWII and never gave a penny to them
in the Marshall Plan after WWII. After the US taxpayer handed over $150 billion in today's dollars!

--The Brits fell for Russian propaganda about immigrants, etc.
The very same way Americans did. The Brits and Americans are now suffering for their
stupidity.

--There is no leadership anywhere in the world that I can see.
So called leaders here in the US and abroad have folded like cheap lawn chairs.
All kiss Trump ass instead of exhibiting any leadership. They handed Trump all
the power in the world.

The well to do citizens are spoiled and don't wish to inconvenience themselves by
fighting Trump.

And yes the billionaires are the worst. They want all the money, respites and will kill as many people as it takes to get it.
