The Eurocracy is maintaining an anti-American front, but it is cracking from within.
The European establishment is building a wall between Russia and Europe, disregarding both Trump's plans and the will of their own peoples. The main tool they rely on is the good old administrative resource. However, it may simply not be enough.
The current confrontation between the Eurocracy and the new American administration is the best illustration that the so-called "collective West" does not actually exist.
To be more precise, it existed briefly after the collapse of the Soviet bloc, but only in the minds of globalists. However, the fragile ice of the "end of history" proved to be quite deceptive, and a single wave running beneath it was enough for the West to revert to what it has always been—a continuous struggle between centers of power.
In the Middle Ages, it was the struggle between Roman popes and German emperors; during the Westphalian system, the rivalry of colonial empires; after World War II, the battle between the United States and Britain for hegemony in Europe, which ultimately led to the collapse of the British Empire.
Today, it is once again a confrontation between conservative, isolationist America—aiming to reclaim its imperial status—and the globalist European Union.
Despite decades of post-war American dominance, the influence of the dollar, and American culture, Europe now openly disregards directives from Washington, defying them so boldly that the White House can only wipe its face in disbelief. Who would have believed this just a year ago?
We remember how U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance scolded Eurocrats in Munich, and what happened next? The Romanian candidate Georgescu, who was confidently leading in the presidential election, was successfully removed. Le Pen was also banned from participating in the upcoming presidential elections in France. In Germany, the AfD party, supported by Vance and Musk, was labeled as far-right extremism—and the next step could be its complete ban.
Vance has already reacted indignantly to this move: "AfD is the most popular party in Germany and undoubtedly the most representative party in Eastern Germany. Now the bureaucrats are trying to destroy it. The West together tore down the Berlin Wall. And it has been rebuilt—not by the Soviets or the Russians, but by the German establishment."
This is fair: the Euro-establishment is building a wall between Russia and Europe, completely disregarding both Trump's plans and the will of their own peoples. At the same time, European globalists are maintaining a strong, layered defense against Trump himself—and the new American administration’s attacks consistently falter against it. In any case, the White House still lacks any reliable levers of influence over the European Parliament's policies.
On the other hand, is this front, built by London and Brussels, really that strong? Could it be standing on clay feet?
The very designation of the AfD as far-right extremism, amid the party’s rapid rise in popularity, appears more like an act of desperation. According to the latest data, AfD is already leading in nationwide German polls and continues to gain momentum. In the former GDR states, the party's ratings reach forty percent, making AfD the unquestionable leader. Therefore, a potential ban on the party risks triggering a political crisis that the current, far from thriving, Germany might be better off not even considering.
This is especially significant against the backdrop of the turmoil within the ruling elite. On May 6, Merz finally became Chancellor—but only on his second attempt and after a humiliating protest vote. In other words, his own party (or rather, the CDU-SPD coalition) made it clear that they despise their leader, and for Merz to secure the Chancellor's position, he had to beg for votes from his adversaries in the Left Party. Thus, even before officially taking office, Merz demonstrated helplessness—both his own and that of the current political coalition. A more alarming sign for the establishment would be hard to imagine.
The situation in Britain is even more scandalous, where Nigel Farage’s "Reform Party" achieved a decisive victory in the municipal elections, while both establishment parties suffered a crushing defeat. Together, the Conservatives and Labour lost over 900 municipal council seats, with more than 600 of those going to the "Reform Party." In addition, Farage's party secured two mayoral positions and won a by-election to the House of Commons.
Following these elections, Farage declared the end of the two-party system and once again emphasized the key points of his platform that resonate with voters. These are the same issues that brought victory to American conservatives: Farage promises to deport migrants, end "green energy" and the "climate agenda," and reconsider Britain's involvement in NATO.
This is what the English people are voting for. Neither the English Tories nor Starmer seem to have anything to offer in response.
The same situation exists in France, where only by mobilizing the entire administrative resource can the right-wing surge be contained.
And the consequences of attempting to suppress the popular will are vividly illustrated by Romania. As we recall, the elections in which right-wing populist Georgescu was winning were scandalously canceled, and Georgescu himself was banned from running.
So, what was the outcome? In the first round of new elections, the clear winner was essentially Georgescu’s double—nationalist politician Simion (from the AUR party), advocating almost the same agenda: no to war, no to migrants, no to the globalist agenda. Simion has already promised that if he wins the second round, he will make Georgescu his prime minister.
That, in essence, sums up the so-called "collective West." This supposed unity looks increasingly controversial, and such a determined fight against the opposition may lead globalists to results directly opposite to what they desire. Caught between their own people and conservative America, Eurocrats may eventually find themselves simply running out of administrative resources.
