Now, putting aside the Russia-Ukraine for a moment, and talking about the whole western world, I am not yet sure if the "collapse driven by our own governments" that we are witnessing lately is intentional or not. To me, with each day it all seems more and more like a maleficent plot, and not just an unhappy train of events.
The crisis that EU countries are facing was planned, "NOT" a back fired clumsy plan, its working as intended.
What are you witnessing is the massive power grab by EU officials (not elected by the people directly), to make Brussel sort of pseudo state that holds absolute great power above many of EU countries, and this is the right moment at the right time to do it, while keeps the escape goat the super villain Putin.
Watch how EU officials (NOT NATO) are now talking like NATO leaders, like talking to train troops, increasing military budget, send weapons to Ukraine and etc, the line dividing between EU and NATO is becoming so blur, don't you agree ?

Simple example, does Hungary's Victor Orban rings a bell ? He is fighting Brussels for the sake of "HIS OWN" people Hungarians, what is wrong with that ? He is now is most EU hated head of state, and being accused of Putin sympathizer. All he is done is to protect his own people and country's interest, which the reason he gets elected from the 1st place, not those EU officials.
The collapsed of EU countries governments (which is elected by the people) is happening day by day, I see you carry Romanian flag, do you think your country still have it's sovereignty on it's own ? Say on energy policy, money/budget policy (example what happened in the past like on Greece where the ordinary people's money in their bank can be freezed overnight just because Brussels said so) and many others.
The weakened state and weakened head of state (even elected by the people) , are the perfect combination to subdue a nation completely, and this time its happening in mass throughout the EU countries, amazing and scary at the same time IMO.
Btw, every times when appointing top EU officials (like at NATO), they must be blessed by Washington 1st or no go at all, its a public secret.
