Putin obviously would say this, but that doesn't mean he's wrong: it's painfully obvious to anyone paying attention, and I think Europeans are slowly realizing it (finally).
De Gaulle said it best: "The truth is that the Americans will end up being hated by everyone. Even by their most unconditional allies. All the dirty tricks imagined by the Americans are contradicted by events." (quoted by his confident Alain Peyrefitte in "C’était De Gaulle")
François Mitterrand also said it: "France does not know it, but we are at war with America. Yes, a permanent war, a vital war, an economic war. Yes, the Americans are very tough, they are voracious, they want undivided power over the world. It is an unknown war, a permanent war, seemingly without deaths and yet a war to the death..."

"The nation which indulges towards another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest."

People express bafflement that the US would back a genocide in the Middle East knowing that it will radicalize the region against them, mistakenly thinking this goes against US strategic goals.
Uh, have you been asleep the last quarter century? Have you not seen how the US empire uses the radicalism caused by its military violence in the Middle East to justify more military expansionism in the region, leading to more military violence?
That's what the so-called "war on terror" has been about. The data unmistakably shows that US-led military interventionism in the Middle East in the name of fighting "terrorism" actually leads more people to join US-designated terrorist organizations, because nothing will radicalize you against the US and its allies like watching them murder and displace your loved ones right in front of you. But the interventionism continues anyway. Why? Because the resource-rich Middle East is a crucial geostrategic region for planetary domination, and the US empire wants to have an expanded military presence there.
It's actually a brilliant self-reinforcing scam. It works like this:
Step 1: Murder people in the Middle East in the name of fighting "terrorism".
Step 2: This causes people to hate you and your allies and to want to retaliate with violence.
Step 3: Designate these people "terrorists".
Step 4: Send more war machinery to the region to go fight "terrorism".
Step 5: Murder more people in the Middle East in the name of fighting "terrorism".
Do you see how this cycle would repeat over and over again, leading to more and more US military expansionism in the Middle East? That's exactly what we've been seeing, and it's exactly what the US empire wants. 11:41 PM · May 13, 2024

More than anything, what this 👇 confirms is the fundamentally nihilistic vision the US now has for the world, and for its place in the world. Which is the very reason why it's currently losing out. Let me explain.
To sum up, what we have here is the US:
- Funding 2 active wars, one which already wiped out an entire generation of military-age males and the other one which turned into a genocide, with most victims being women and children. And in both wars not only is the U.S. making no genuine attempt to end them (except, which is the same, saying they can only end with total capitulation of the other side): as this "aid" package proves, it's fueling the fire.
- Laying the groundwork for a 3rd war in Taiwan by inundating an island they officially recognizes is part of China and officially say they "don't support independence" for... with weapons against China.
- Banning a social media platform that they believe is making young Americans question the wisdom of their country's warlike nature.
In short: war, war, war and pro-war censorship. That's the vision that transpires from this.
I often go back to the words of George Kennan… / cont. reading

There's rarely been a more extraordinary military failure as "operation prosperity guardian", it's almost unbelievable.
Think about that: an operation announced by Lloyd Austin in December as a broad coalition of the US Navy, the Royal Navy, the Royal Australian Navy, the Royal Bahrain Naval Force, the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal Danish Navy, the Finnish Navy, the Hellenic Navy, the Royal Netherlands Navy, the Royal New Zealand Navy, the Royal Norwegian Navy, the Republic of Singapore Navy and the Sri Lanka Navy...
against... Ansarallah [the Houthis].
Sayyed-Abdulmalik-al-Houthi,-leader-of-Yemen’s-Ansar-Allah.jpg
At the time the Pentagon was all gung ho, officially telling Ansarallah: "They really need to ask themselves if they've bitten off more than they can chew".
And turns out, they hadn't! 3 months later the "prosperity guardian" coalition is suing for peace and offering an extraordinary array of concession, including "lifting Yemen's siege entirely, repairing the damages, removing foreign forces from all occupied Yemeni lands and islands, and removing Ansarallah from the State Department’s ‘terrorism list’".
Ansarallah, undeterred, say they will "continue operations as long as Israeli aggression against Gaza persists".

ADDENDUM: This week, the warhawks in Washington have treated U.S. media consumers with another episode of “shock and awe” as it launches a series of attacks which it claims are targeting alleged “pro-Iranian groups” located in Syria and Iraq.
Here are US combat helicopters, necessary to enforce the occupation.[9]
While this display of military prowess may play well to an American domestic audience, the reality is that the White House has further antagonized multiple sovereign states and non state actors in the region who would like to see an accelerated exit by the US from a beleaguered Middle East. The United States is already on extremely weak footing in both Syria and Iraq, and locals have made it very clear their occupation presence is unwelcome – a key point which most in Washington have chosen to ignore.
Far from deterring regional opposition to the occupation activities of the US and Israel, this move by Biden is only going to speed-up that process of pushing the US asset out of their remaining exposed positions…

Israel wants to solve it with genocide/ethnic cleansing: "since we can't defeat Hamas as an ideology we'll just get rid of all the Palestinians". And the US look so far opposed to this - publicly at least (who knows if they aren't supporting it in private) - and favor a 2-state solution that has never looked more unrealistic.
All the while Israel is doing its very best to trigger a regional war by bombing Lebanon and Iran left and right, presumably to get the US more involved in the fighting as some sort of Hail Mary, but neither Lebanon nor Iran nor the US are taking the bait.
And of course the biggest victims in all this remain the Palestinians who are undergoing unimaginable suffering at the hands of Israel with no end in sight.
How this will get resolved has never been less clear. The US could of course end this tomorrow by stopping its support for Israel but that'd require a level of political courage and moral clarity that's completely absent from Washington. Israel could also stop digging the mad hole it's put itself in but that's even less likely. The most realistic outcome is sadly no solution at all, just more festering of this ever deeper mess.

The longer this goes the higher the likelihood it escalates and since Israel does not want to stop or the US can stop it …

The "they deserve it" message quietly evolves to the "we didn't know" message.

I'm very afraid we're one much closer step into WWIII, I wish to be wrong with all my heart.

I surmise the US was happy to back ethnic cleansing until they realised it could be political suicide. The one thing I've never understood is why a country that only permitted dual citizenship in 1967 (I wonder if that's a coincidence?) allows dual citizens to be elected.

No figures of the number of Hamas killed have been released. The IDF ground troops with their tanks and armoured vehicles are no match against Hamas when it comes to street combat. All they can do is to use their superior air power to bomb and kill civilians.

It's business as usual. The degenerate US govt has been playing with the lives of Palestinians for DECADES, pretending they "care."

Whilst America is led by a self-proclaimed "I am a Zionist" president, nothing will change, but cooler heads see the Middle East tinderbox for exactly what it may mean, WW3. Perhaps a little hyperbolic but wars can start in an instant, & often from a single error in judgement.

Agree. Would argue situation not hopeless nor more complicated-opposite:Extrajudicial assassinations 🇸🇾🇱🇧 & acts of terror in Iran irreversibly exposed the main party to ‘conflict’ - those supporting (US, West & others) have opportunity to force peace. Good faith actors needed.

“The most realistic outcome is sadly no solution at all, just more festering of this ever deeper mess.” Or the terrifying slip into the broad regional war that, as you rightly say, Israel actually (if madly) wants.

The amount of Zionist losses in Gaza are staggering, in personnel, tanks, armoured troop carriers, bulldozers. This is why they are winding down (beginning of jan, 2024) and instead inflict losses elsewhere, Lebanon/ Beirut, Syria, Iran.

JFK’s War Against the Military Industrial Complex – The Future of Freedom Foundation
After the Bay of Pigs fiasco, Kennedy also gradually lost trust and confidence in the military. When the Joint Chiefs of Staff presented Kennedy with a plan calling for a first-strike surprise nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, Kennedy left that meeting in disgust and indignantly stated, “And we call ourselves the human race.” His reaction was the same when the Joint Chiefs of Staff presented him with Operation Northwoods, a false-flag operation that was based on fraud and deception, in order to provide Kennedy with an excuse for invading Cuba, which was a sovereign and independent nation (just as Ukraine is today). Kennedy turned down the plan, much to the anger and chagrin of the military establishment.

The Coup Against the Third World: Chile, 1973
Allende’s position (UNCTAD 1972) was ‘to replace an obsolete and radically unjust economic and trade order with an equitable one that is based on a new concept of man and human dignity and to reformulate an international division of labour that is intolerable for the less advanced countries and that obstructs their progress while favouring only the affluent nations’.
This means that the programmatic, political, and ideological issues cited by Allende remain valid and necessary in all societies suffering from the consequences of imperialism.
