EU "Leadership" Either Totally Corrupt or Totally Incompetent

A few years ago now, the US and its proxies destroyed a huge natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, the NordStream 2 pipeline. That could have been viewed as an act of war against Russia, but it also disrupted German industry, and essentially was an act of war on them.

I wouldn't be surprised if the war in Ukraine is totally "fake", that is the sides are in on it together to completely destroy the economy of Europe at the expense of the people of Ukraine and Russia. It's hard to explain the European political "leadership" pushing for the war to continue, or possibly expand as they are now, except that they might be in on the scheme as well and getting compensated for their role, or they're pretty dumb.
