Europe suddenly clutching pearls and pretending to be all aghast at the slightest display of American Hegemon power shows how long overdue this moment was needed.
Its not aberration or a betrayal, its a mere return to the world that existed prior to 20th century - great powers dealing with each other on basis of their interests. Liberal moralising turned out to be what it always was - lecturing from a superior position, which Europe suddenly realised it does not have.
The funny part is that most people were talking this lingo in the early 2000’s, Obama administration. The war in Ukraine has really changed this dynamic, making many of our older and younger generations believe it is a moral imperative to take jabs at Russia.
