I´m not a big fanboy of "Spiked" (and I know exactly what those guys were up to circa 1990), but they do have *some* kind of point here. Indeed, they are almost a bit nice...
The EU´s hue and cry over Crimea and portions of the Donbass remaining in Russian hands (which is the implication of Hegseth´s recent remarks about the pre-2014 borders of Ukraine) is completely hypocritical, since the EU (Germany in particular) continued to buy Russian oil and gas all the way up to 2022. In other words: the EU tacitly recognized that at least Crimea is, indeed, Russian.
So the Germans pretend to have a "Green transition" while buying fossil fuels from Russia and expecting the US to defend them in case of war. With Russia? Fantastic. Most other EU nations aren´t much better. A long holiday from history indeed.
And a pretty rude awakening, too!
The EU´s holiday from history is over
