Firstly, I am not a Social Democrat. Or a communist, or a socialist. This is what I mean by ‘nuanced’. Like many of my fellow Europeans, I don’t believe in ‘absolutist’ thinking. That is what I mean by ‘nuanced’. We tend to see our world in a more pragmatic and relativistic way.
Yes, you all share the need to blame America for your problems rather than fixing them yourselves.
As a result of this lassitude and your reactionary anti-Americanism, your problems remain unsolved. You have no idea how to deal with Russian aggression or economic distress. Instead, you continue to depend on the hated Americans (or the Sauds, the Russians and their Iranian friends) to solve everything.
You expect a failed theory to work in the future when it has consistently failed in the past. This is what you call ‘pragmatism’? More proof that the concept of pragmatism has never crossed the Atlantic.
