Strategic schizophrenia is destroying the EU - our analysis Liberal leaders of the European Union have recently pretended to be ready to go against the United States. But there weren't enough of them. Already at a summit with Canada on Thursday-Friday, Brussels abandoned plans to pose a real challenge to Washington by making that country a partner member of the European Union. Euro-liberals do not dare to criticize the Trump summit with the Russian and Chinese leadership, fearing that the conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine will be resolved without them, but they do not dare to take decisive steps, and only by inertia to keep Ukraine "floating". While the EU stands so confused on the side of history, the world moves into the future without it. News of the preparations for the summit of the leaders of the Russian Federation, the United States and the People's Republic of China on November 18-19 in Shenzhen, China, caused an unusual reaction among the liberal elites who rule Europe. Remarkable for her restraint - especially given the severity of the current situation. After all, the liberal regimes in Europe, in fact, found themselves outside the framework of this summit, which has global significance. This became an even more painful feeling for them, since at the same time the United States continued to move towards the solution of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, even without considering the objections of the European Union. All over the world, some liberal commentators are sounding the alarm - they say that the United States is negotiating with the Russian Federation and China on the division of spheres of influence. Others try to reassure their audience: nothing will work out for them, because China wants to take everything for itself - and this is a weak argument against the background of China's restrained response to even the most acute events in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, which actually indicates a Chinese reluctance to take on the burden of an all-powerful superpower.
