The biggest victim of the Ukraine War is Europe. Ukraine is a no brainer. It is a sacrificial lamb for the dominance of the American Empire. There would be no Ukraine when the war is over. Zelensky and his bunch of traitors would flee to live a life of plenty in some corners of the world, leaving behind a broken and divided Ukraine, becoming parts of its neighbours and being a part of Russia. That is the fate of Ukraine.
Europe does not need this war and cannot afford to have this war. Europe is highly dependent on the Russians for its energy needs and many essential produce including food. By being forced into this American proxy war, though their leaders are putting a brave smile on their faces, Europe is actually sanctioning itself. It is cutting off cheap supplies of energy and food to support their industries and feed their people. Now their economies are spiralling downwards, high inflation, high cost of living, high imports of energy and food, and cutting off the Russian market as well as the Middle East markets.
This is not all. The sanctions and belligerence go further to include China and messing around with the Taiwan issue. Europe thus becomes complicit in the American war against China and as a result cutting itself off from the biggest consumer market in China as well as making products in China. This is a double blow to the European manufacturers. Without the factory of China and relatively cheap labour and production, without the China market, Europe is as good as isolating itself from the world and cooked.
And Europe cannot say no to the Americans. There is no strong leaders in Europe to stand up to the Americans. The only exceptions are the leaders of Turkey, Hungary and Serbia, that cited national interests to disobey the Americans. Outside Europe, the Indians and Japanese too were quietly fading into the dark corners, not to be entangled in this losing cause. They would not be footing the bill for this war and their economies would not suffer like the economies of Europe.
This winter would see everything precipitating and the sky will fall on Europe. The people of Europe would bear the brunt of high inflation, high cost of living, unable to put food on the table, unable to use the heater to keep themselves warm. This winter will see major demonstration and uprising in Europe to bring down the existing weak leaders as they demand to be free from the American stranglehold, to bring down the cost of living, to be able to buy cheap fuel and gases from Russia, to live better.
In the meantime the Euro dollar has fallen to its lowest level against the American dollar and will keep on falling. The Euro may become the first banana currency instead of the greenback. Europe would become a dependency of America, living on American handouts and completely under the control of the Americans, as the new poor of the world. Without the Russian and Chinese markets, Europe has no where else to go. They can't sell in the US, can't compete with China in Latin America and Africa or anywhere in the world and cannot produce or sell in China. Europe has painted itself into a corner, oops, forced by the Americans to paint itself into a corner and could not get out anymore.
This winter is going to be an exceptional winter for the Europeans, a winter that they never asked for, did not want, but somehow too weak to resist and got dragged into an icy pit by the Americans, to be buried alive.
On the contrary, life is normal for the Americans in the US. Life is also normal in China with exports growing in double figures, hitting new highs. And life is also normal in Russia, with inflation and cost of living barely making any difference to the Russians.
Why would the Europeans allow themselves to fall into this American trap and their people suffering untold misery with many awaiting death in the freezing winter or hungry and unable to put food on the table in a war that has nothing to do with them?
Now, who would benefit from the bombing of the two gas pipelines? Who did not want the gas to get to Europe? Who own the pipelines?
And the perpetrators, the saboteurs are pretending to be innocent and wanting to investigate the cause? Where is the UN? The best thing to happen now is for Europe to suffer for being friends of the saboteurs and be brought down on their knees this winter.
