The US has been getting away with murder (literally) for decades. One wonders how long it will take Europe to realize that they have sold their soul to the devil. Will it be when the populace rises up or will it be when their businesses start to fail and take their economies with them? What goes around comes around. Bullshit walks and money talks but the US doesn't really have money anymore. All we have is very fancy toilet paper.
The recent simultaneous sabotage of NS1 and NS2 has the US and UK neocons openly gloating, as it takes away the carrot that Russia could otherwise offer Europe in exchange for peace.
Now, Europe must freeze, and there isn't much they can do about it in the short-medium term, even if their leaders wanted to or an angry populace were to demand it.
I am reminded of a day I spent working in a high security mental institution here in the UK. It was terrifying. The people I was expected to deal with were beyond insane. They were operating with faulty equipment, relating to a reality that I could not see or hear. They were locked permanently into a mindscape that could not be changed, only artificially suppressed or restrained. They were, in most cases, completely oblivious of the harm they were doing themselves and others.
THAT is who you are dealing with. Intransigent psychotics with an equally psychotic plan that they believe in wholeheartedly. We cannot reach them because they think that WE are the crazies; we are the wronguns.
I don't want to ever be on their wavelength and they don't want to be on mine.
It is a division that I do not think can be breached.
