It is obvious you haven’t read the link to the RAND CORPORATION in my first post in this thread.

I did skim through it and I still say the same thing since I'm not commenting on the article, I commented on your take of the article.

It's true that US started this war and is still fighting the proxy war with Russia (to the last Ukrainian according to their own statements) and they are prolonging it for years as it was planned. It is true that there is a lot of benefits for United States in this war and any other wars they started.
But destruction of EU or any specific country like Germany is not part of the plan, it is the result of the plan. In other words Germany is collateral damage.

It is my point that it does not matter to the German dopes. If it did, they would already be doing something about it, which they are obviously not.

The real question is, what can they do? All options Germans (and most other Europeans) have are terrible. They knew this day would come the day they "bent the knee". They can't just undo all that, kick US out, get out of EU and NATO and declare independence. They can't even be independence when they need to import tremendous amount of energy!
Not to mention other consequences of such actions. For example Poland (all of a sudden) decided that after 70 years they want to talk about the losses caused by German invasion ($1.3 trillion) and demanding payment which is a good sign that US is sending the Germans to not even think about kicking them out!

And no. People in Europe are against this war because most Europeans have traditionally been since the 90’s against US promoted wars.

They only think about protesting against such wars when it starts significantly affecting their lives. They didn't give a shit when they were bombing for example Iraq for no reason. They didn't give a shit when they (ie. NATO) started the Ukraine invasion either. They started caring about it when their inflation went high and the fear of a cold winder loomed.
