Because the US wants war.
When I say that it is Putin and the US who want a war (well or better even if nuclear) in Europe, the question that often arises is: but why? The reasons are very simple, and they lie in US history.
Before the Second World War the US had been able to exert a small influence on Europe, such as sending several battalions. Little is known about their effectiveness, in the sense that they have fleshed out in numbers but have not done much more.
The transformation of an influential country but all in all far away in the center of the world took place with the second world war. But it wasn't the war events that did the job. It was the cheap ones. The process of creating the USA as we know it was:
- a Europe in ruins needed to be rebuilt. With the Marshall Plan, reconstruction was financed, but since there was no industry, American industries practically sold us everything.
- from a Europe in ruins all, or almost all, the great brains of the period departed. I don't have to just mention Einstein or Von Braun. There was a terrible diaspora of technicians and scientists, so every noteworthy postwar invention took place in the USA.
- European consumption was nothing more than American consumption, since the USA was the factory of Europe. American products were found in supermarkets until the early 1980s.
But it didn't last long. Already in the 70s the reconstruction was over, the industrial and service systems were ready, and with the boom of the 80s the USA began to import more from Europe than it exported. American industry was unable to compete. American food was being rejected by the European markets (remember "mountain" meat, that is, "spam"?), The rules were becoming more and more stringent, and the European Union was beginning to transform Europe into a commercial fortress.
The brain drain has been reduced: if a lot of people still emigrate from Italy to the USA, the contribution from the rest of Europe is getting smaller and smaller. As if that were not enough, the cost of American universities allows access to 1% of privileged Americans, for the others there is the gigantic student debt, which is close to 1.3 TRILLARDS of dollars.
The US realized there that the European thrust had run out, and turned to China. They financed Chinese growth, and half of the profits remained in their pockets, even in the form of cheap jobs.
This worked for thirty years, but then the US noticed two things:
- towards china there is a land route that starts from Europe and arrives in China via Russia. And Europeans use it, and how.
- when the Europeans enter the competition, for the USA it goes badly. They lose their food industry to Italy, Spain, France, they lose their car industry to Germany, France and the UK, the only sectors where they dominate are mobile phones. Europe has too many vertical specialties to compete using mere economies of scale.
- China has a government and is not very much in agreement with leaving the US to do good and bad times. And this creates a major contention over the Pacific. A dispute that does not exist on the land routes.
- Chinese students in the US are no longer of great quality, now practically only the jugs go there. China has become a first-rate university.

At that point the US abandoned the idea of using the growth of a state to make money. Now they could go, say, to India, or Brazil, or Nigeria, and create the same boom that has been in China. But the risk is that an antagonistic maritime power will be created again.
American stagnation is there for all to see. The US urgently needs that:
- someone buys their products on a huge scale. Agriculture, steel, machine tools, automobiles, the best they have been able to do is Tesla, which despite being the most funded company in the world manages to sell no more than one million cars / year. A European group sells 15. And there are several.
- someone send their brains there. Americans are definitely not the ones who invent things anymore, for the simple reason that it was always brains imported from abroad that did it.
- someone depends on their finance. By now the incursions of American groups are opposed both in the EU and in China, and everywhere. Their rapacious, job-destroying logic is well known.
To do this, their history offers them only one valid example: a Europe in ruins.
And if the answer seems silly to you, remember that Luttwak was one of the historians who served as consultants for the White House . Yeah, that fool there.
With Ukraine the question is really advantageous: the land connection via Russia is broken due to enmity and sanctions, and moreover if a nuclear power plant is centered and a Chernobyl is produced (aggravated by the fact that intervening is impossible for the war), Europe will no longer be able to sell agricultural products (the fields will be radioactive) and food will be fucked up, we will send our children to the USA if only to save them from radiation, and someone will have to sell us food and medicines against contamination. The economy would obviously go to its knees, and so on.
The reason is simple: if the US fails to reproduce the post-war miracle or Chinese growth (but without a Chinese government), they will inexorably sink into their steroid-inflated mediocrity.
They're already doing it: at a certain point China produces very dangerous hypersonic weapons, and the US discovers that all the "innovation" they have at their disposal is to make Tinder for your cat.
They have a society on the verge of civil war, and their giants GAFAM, the only ones where they have NO competition (at least in Europe), pay practically no taxes. Renault overtook Tesla in electric car sales in 2021, and the VW group ditto. Producing a pompous and overrated demigod didn't do any good either.
Their cultural products got bored and there is no noticeable innovation. The biggest Heavy Metal concert is the Wacken in Germany. The biggest Rock concert in the world is Rock am Ring. (I point to these because it's stuff that THEY invented). The most followed musical program in the world is no longer the Grammys, it is the Eurofestival. They've been torn apart on every front. And there are more and more foreign films competing for the OScars, to which they respond with yet another Star Wars saga and with some re-chewed 80s comics. In Pop music, countries like South Korea are tearing them up: young people are now listening to K-Pop. In comics the manga genre is now rampant. They are the absolute losers, in a creative mediocrity that was previously only compensated by the arrival of fresh brains and mountains of money. Flow has stopped.
No, Musk is not Von Braun. Von Braun would never have landed a missile vertically when the sea is next to it. He would have landed it in the water and put inflatable balloons in it to keep them afloat, as is done with test torpedoes after the test.
And he would never have thought of a nonsense like hyperloop, where there are no emergency exits, in case of fire the firefighters have to cut the pipe to enter, paralyzing the entire line until the hole is closed and it can be redone. the vacuum: there is no need for a fucking tube when if you want a train to walk in a vacuum you already have cavitation as a method. Draw better the aerodynamics of the fucking train to create cavitation and give yourself less air, you idiot, that the tubone comes from science fiction written by people who had the compressed air tubes to do what we do now with the email.
The measure of the mediocrity of the USA is precisely that of the acclaimed "genius" Elon Musk, who is reselling the science fiction of the 60s to an audience of idiots in search of a god, who is rich because he is a god , and he is god because he is rich.
They have a DESPERATE NEED for another "second world war"; and the only place where the trick worked is Europe.
If Germany has no plans to send weapons to Ukraine, you know why. World War II wasn't fun here.
And since a nuclear fallout would put the entire Italian agri-food industry out of business, you would do well to beat your fists on the table too, as it should be said. Because if Italian fields become contaminated, Italian industries can only move to where there are many fields to cultivate and they are not contaminated.
And the very depopulated US campaign will be happy to offer space. Because the depopulation of rural areas is another US problem.
