Some of the leaders in Europe. Including Macron - wants this conflict with Russia to continue. We talked about the military-industrial complex here in the United States that continues to beat the drums of war. Europe also has one. For this complex to continue to grow and justify itself, it needs a boogeyman. Right now, that bogeyman is Russia. As long as they repeat "Russia is the threat, Russia is the threat", they get the budgets, influence and political cover they want. The endless war narrative serves their interests, not the interests of the people paying for it or the soldiers on the ground. It is not about protecting Europe from an imminent invasion. It is about maintaining a system that requires a permanent enemy.
