The Ukrainian crisis acts as a mirror reflecting Europe’s structural weaknesses. 💡 Why do European elites in Brussels treat Kyiv’s existential threat as an “exaggeration” and underestimate the imperial dimension of Russian policy? We analyze the EU’s cognitive dissonance and why the technocratic approach is failing to manage a war that defines its geopolitical future.
🔎 Analysis of Key Points & EU Structural Weaknesses In this video, we examine the deeper roots of the European staff’s inability to comprehend:
Mindset of Peace vs. Existential Threat: Europe, fundamentally based on law and commerce, struggles to understand a country (Ukraine) that built its sovereignty under permanent challenge.
Underestimation of Ideology: The European naivety that energy contracts and trade would keep Russia within the logic of rational calculation, ignoring the imperial ambition and Neo-Eurasianism.
Technocratic Approach: The EU treated the Ukrainian crisis as a technical problem of governance and corruption, when in fact it was a conflict of cultural and identity differentiation from the “Russian World.”
Economic Division: How the prolongation of the conflict becomes a strategic opportunity for the European defense industry (Rearm EU, SAFE), creating a divided approach between geopolitical risks and domestic economic benefits.
The Strategic Deadlock: The political suicide of the European leadership to accept a security agreement with Moscow that would legitimize the changed balance of power, leading to an inability to impose a strategic plan and the prolongation of the war.
💬 Call to Action & Information Europe is in a state of cognitive dissonance, delaying the inevitable political reckoning. The war in Ukraine is a crisis of European legitimacy and leadership.
