    From Europe here. This is my opinion but Im about 90% convonced this is how its gonna go down: The US is in the midst of a fascist takeover which will either lead to a revolution and tens of million deaths or with the US implementing fascism in every other (western) country, taking over those that resist by military force. There wont be a world war as there is no possible opposition.
    Its gonna be the hardest century humanity has faced in a long time, and US citizens still have the opportunity to sacrifice themselves for a better future but I doubt it will happen, we are looking at Cyberpunk 2077 soon. Most of us will get the Nazi Germany citizenship experience for some years and then the alternative ending where Germany won, except that H*tler cared for a big part of his people (white Germans) while the current US government will let all but 0.1% live in poverty and slavery with extra steps.

      The European “ultra right” parties tend to be NATO/Ukraine “skeptics”. European leaders that Trump has praised (Hungary, Turkey) were the most independent from US. Slovakia is independent without being “ultra right”. The only nations with good economic growth since Ukraine are the independent ones.

      Trump/US behaviour is creating unity among the world against the US. But understand the most sycophantic colonial servitude has come from the moderate governments in Europe. Canadian political heads are all CIA agents, but there too, resistance is forced, and centrist parties have gained huge polling jumps.

      The US empire’s control over allies is only possible through the subterfuge of “freely chosen love” for their masters. Rulerships defiant of NATO and EU is equivalent to defiant of US, though balkanization of Europe and wars in Europe, is much easier than the wet dream of balkanizing Russia. It is a vector for massive US weapon sales, and similar reconstruction deals as Ukraine for eventually picking a side.

      The worst possible decision from EU main 3 is to choose supporting Ukraine in continued war against Russia. Suicidal, and will serve balkanization of Europe objectives. Union with world for independence (not war) from US is the right path.
