Raccoons and European Governments

And I don’t mean boys named Rocky Raccoons, I mean regular animals, who according to the recent studies are doing the best they can to get domesticated.

Raccoons, you see, had figured out, on the genetic level at least, that to survive they had to accommodate to the people. So now they are looking more pretty and less wild and aggressive, setting themselves up for easier adoption by humans and easier penetration of human network.

In other words, there are realities on the ground and one has to work around them to survive.

But lets move from raccoons to EU politicians and Ukrainians. What do they do? Do they listen to the realities on the ground, be it deficits at home or the reality of giant Russian potential abroad?

Not really. Instead, the Europeans had divided themselves into two groups: Coalition of the Willing Idiots (French, Brits, Germans) and the Coalition of the Unwilling Idiots (Estonia, Poland, Latvia). Western Europeans willingly decided to resort to Russophobia, while Baltics and Poles simply don’t know better. Thus the names. And all these two groups of idiots do is to scream for more war on Russia.

Truth to be told, these two coalitions were pushed into idiocy by the idiots here in the States: the Democrats, who somehow felt that the War on Russia, is the greatest thing that can save them from the wrath of common people whom they continue to betray. I remember Biden bragging that he had to twist the arms of Europeans to whip them into a war mode. I remember Biden interfering in Ukrainian affairs by firing their prosecutor-general for digging too dip into nefarious deals that Biden Jr, known as Hunter-for-a-Cheap-Cocaine, was undertaking in Ukraine among other places.

As the memories of war with Russia recede into blips on the horizon, the confused European politicians decided to accommodate demented Democrats rather than their own populace or their powerful neighbor in the East, to whom they actually owe the rise in their living standards.

Just imagine raccoons turning away from cheap and healthy food in the neighborhood, in the hope of some frozen crap in plastic containers to be delivered to them via giant boats that poison the oceans. Not a single raccoon would do that, but Germans fell for that with enthusiasm of their forefathers falling for Hitler. And why not? Dostoevsky in Brothers Karamazov mentions a German professor who mocks Russians for taking any western theorem for an axiom. In fact, it is Germans who take any idiotic theorem for an axiom. Whatever stupidity United States cooks up, from racism to the beneficial effects of fracking, Germans are there to embrace. Let’s destroy Pennsylvania by fracking, let’s build giant polluting factories that liquefies this gas, let’s transport it to Germany and sell it at a premium. What a great idea! Beats getting cheap clean Russian gas and cooperating with Russia, every time.

If it continues like that, I am afraid that raccoons would soon replace Germans, being by far superior in survival strategies.

So Americans, being more pragmatic, had finally figured out, that pushing the war further, would do them nothing but harm. J.D.Vance talks about “reality” rather than “fantasy.” The world is tired of cheap slogans and cheap self-posturing.

But not the Europeans, where the two coalitions are battling it out: more sanctions against Russia or more financial help to Ukraine. There is mess at home, financial crisis, economic division, graying of population, disruption created by technology, but who cares, as long as we are provoking Russia.

Any raccoon would figure out what to do. But not Starmer, Macron or Van Der Leyden, or whatever her name is. In the absence of Dick Cheney, John McCain or Joe Biden, they all are listening now to Estonian Kaja Kallas.

She explains to them how one European can defeat thousands Russians, and if that’s not enough, then one Ukrainian or Estonian can take on ten thousand Russians. Plus, she reminds her colleagues in the Coalitions of the Willing and Unwilling Idiots, that all the money delivered to Ukraine find their way back to Europe via Estonia. So not to worry. Zelensky in front, Kaja behind, the money back in the bank and the democratic truth prevails.

Once challenged by raccoons and their survival mechanisms, at least Estonians can brag that they succeeded in building electronic hubs through which they channel European money to Ukraine, and then back into European bank-accounts of assorted politicians. Germans can’t offer even that. They are ready to be taken by these washing bears as they call them. And if that does not sober Germans up, there are plenty of unwashed bears in the country that Germans still fail to take seriously.
