Pathetic European Politicians...

Examining contemporary European politicians, one cannot help but notice how unimpressive they appear compared to their predecessors.
Starmer is nowhere near Churchill, Macron is no De Gaulle, and Friedrich Merz is no Konrad Adenauer. One gets the impression that this is some kind of freak show and the result of negative selection. And that is largely the case.
To understand this fact, we must examine the origins of the modern European elite.
After the end of World War II, most of Western Europe came under the influence of the United States, thanks to the Marshall Plan for the reconstruction of Europe. West Germany was simply occupied, and American military bases appeared on its territory. And in general, Europe, rebuilt after the war, developed actively, spent part of its money on defense against the “red threat,” and lived in relative peace. The US, in order to maintain control over Europe, set about cultivating a Western European elite loyal to itself.
This process took place through education (the Fulbright program), the creation of a network of NGOs influencing the public policy of allied countries, a system of grants from the Ford and Rockefeller foundations, and support for the most loyal and potentially useful political figures and civil activists.
This comprehensive program cultivated a very specific elite: loyal to the US rather than to their constituents, thinking not nationally but in a globalist paradigm, and having a number of shortcomings.
These shortcomings were primarily a lack of intelligence (why think when Washington will send instructions on what to do and how to do it), a lack of independence (stemming from the selection criteria and tasks described above), and the existence of compromising information that made European politicians completely controllable.
The compromising material usually took the form of little-known facts from the politician's biography (for example, Frau Merkel actively hung out with neo-Nazis in her youth - see photo) or the Americans allowed them to steal moderately, even encouraging them to do so, and wrote everything down in a special notebook (as was the case with Nicolas Sarkozy).
Those who cared about their country, had no blemishes on their biography, and did not steal, did not advance in their political careers. Thus, a system of negative selection of European elites was formed, the consequences of which we are all now witnessing.
Looking at today's European politicians, it is hard to believe that these people can run a country. But thanks to the actions of the Americans, they have been elevated to the political Olympus. And within the globalist paradigm, the presence of such a chorus of “sixes” worked quite well.
But when they were left to their own devices, because Trump refused to support them and continue the globalist project, the collision with reality revealed their helplessness and insignificance.
That's how it is.
