What on earth is going on with this generation of Europeans?
The elections are like a frenzy, with one after another veering sharply to the right!
The leaders of the European Union's powerhouse nations, Germany and France, have suffered humiliating defeats, paving the way for far-right parties to sweep across the continent with unprecedented momentum.
The farce of "unanimous consent" seems poised for a replay, with America's puppet possibly set to ascend once more!
This time around, the 27 EU member states seem determined to take a sharp turn to the right, as evidenced by the election results that clearly skew towards right-wing ideologies.
Germany's Social Democratic Party leader, Scholz, was battered by the far-right Alternative for Germany, while in France, Macron's Renaissance party fared even worse, losing decisively to the National Rally.
If these leading EU nations have been reduced to such a state, one can only imagine the fate of the others—Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria—all echoing the loudest calls for right-wing agendas.
The United States seems to have hit two birds with one stone this time.
Watching Europeans tear each other apart in such a brutal manner must have them grinning from ear to ear.
The wildfire of the far-right is spreading uncontrollably, poised to overturn established norms.
The once secure left-wing ruling parties are now in dire straits.
While Germany and France bear the brunt of the electoral backlash, Belgium's Prime Minister De Croo and his Dutch-speaking Open Flemish Liberals and Democrats have suffered an unprecedented collapse, shaking the foundations of the federal, regional, and European parliamentary elections.
The European Parliament, an already contentious institution, where representatives from 27 countries gather to deliberate, is known for its inefficiency.
Coupled with the absurdity of "unanimous consent," passing any resolution becomes an ordeal akin to climbing Mount Everest.
Yet, the Europeans seem unable to shake off their penchant for infighting—each unwilling to concede to the other, ultimately relying on the United States to bail them out.
Veteran tacticians like Germany and France, with their repertoire of political maneuverings, find themselves outplayed.
And now, with the resounding victory of the far-right, the pro-American European People's Party is poised to make a comeback.
Ursula von der Leyen, the American-appointed figurehead, seems destined to reign supreme once again.
However, even her position as President of the European Commission is not secure. Her subordinates, ever eager to undermine and obstruct, each have their own ambitions.
This power struggle leaves everyone discontented, forced to swallow their pride and keep their dissent in check.
If this continues, could it be the final straw that collapses this already precarious house of cards?
The European elections this time have shattered many illusions, with left-wing forces in full retreat and the far-right basking in newfound glory.
Germany and France have lavished much goodwill and resources on the United States, hoping for a favorable stance, only to find themselves ignored.
The British, ever astute, saw through the European Union's quagmire and simply walked away, leaving it in disarray.
Now, without Britain, Germany and France are realizing that the EU is more divided than ever, susceptible to American manipulation.
It is only now that they recognize the need to assert their independence rather than blindly align with American interests.
Thus, this time, French and German voters have delivered a stinging rebuke to their ruling parties, throwing their weight behind the right-wing forces opposing America and immigration, gearing up for a showdown with the United States.
Tragically, even with this resolve, Germany and France may lack the courage to follow through.
Despite their frequent grievances against the United States, when push comes to shove, do they not inevitably fall in line?
Such is the plight of Europe—bereft of American protection, what global standing can they hope to maintain against the looming threats of Russia and the swift rise of China?
Once a mighty empire where the sun never set, Europe now finds itself in such a sorry state, a cause for deep lamentation.
Public opinion, like flowing water, tilts towards whichever side promises the most benefits.
If Europe fails to strengthen itself, it may soon be reduced to a loose alliance of third-rate nations, crumbling at the slightest pressure.
Ultimately, "unanimous consent" is nothing but a joke—a puppet show orchestrated by the United States, where other countries merely play along.
Poor European citizens, unable to control even their own destiny! Is the European Union truly nearing its end? Only time will tell.
