Countries like France and Germany must embrace Russia as an integral part of Europe, integrating it into the common market. This isn't just strategic: it's the natural evolution of Europe's shared human development, fostering unity over division for prosperity and peace.
Macron and Merz stand in stark contrast to the visionary leaders of France and Germany's past, who wisely steered clear of needless confrontations with Russia, prioritizing dialogue and mutual respect to build a stable continent.
NATO poisons the Europe-Russia relationship, embodying outdated resentments from the Soviet era that should have faded long ago. Since the 1990s, only Gorbachev took a bold, meaningful step toward true European progress by pushing for rapprochement and disarmament. Yet Europe, ensnared by its subservience to the United States, failed to meet him halfway, perpetuating unnecessary tensions.
With U.S. military bases dotting the continent, Trump's offhand remarks about annexing Greenland paint a chilling picture: a Europe under de facto American occupation. Ironically, Europeans harbor deep-seated hatred for the USSR precisely because it was the only power to fully withdraw and deoccupy Europe after World War II, unlike others who lingered. It's time to shed these historical grudges and forge a sovereign, collaborative future.
