At the end of the last month Putin didn't just start another war, he tore to shreds the foundational agreement that European peace is built upon. And we ought to discuss how we can build a new lasting peace after this war is over.

Kekkonens Nightmare

Sign up to Morning Brew for free today https://bit.ly/mbkraut In February 2022 the foundational agreement upon which almost 50 years of European peace had been built was shattered. In light of these events, many seem unaware of what the consequences of this mean to us. And I would like to remind some of you of this, as well as encourage you to discuss what the new security architecture of Europe should be.

Great job on the video. I think you're right that if Euro becomes a power and US influence is less, eventually the US won't be too happy about that as it goes against their single superpower ideology. However I think that we're already going through the first round of that cycle right now. In 2007 or so Europe Tech + Russian resources already was shaping up an economic superpower. At the time I remember Russians starting to save money in Euro rather than USD . That's now been fixed with a wedge from Poland down to the Ukraine being slowly driven in, and just now reaching a boiling point. We're certainly now in uncharted territory....

I imagine the right-wing in the USA will not like a EU that actively becomes a superpower. For one thing, a united EU would actively promote social democracy (Liberty, Equality and Fraternity - all things that the current American culture does not care for); and of course this is a challenge for leadership of the West. It will never happen of course - the EU is too uncoordinated and petty to do anything. The sheer ineptitude of France and the corruption in Germany essentially meant that the EU was unable to help Ukraine in the same capacity as the Americans (and this should be extremely embarrassing)
