On 15 April 2026, the Russian Ministry of Defence published a list of European facilities it considers legitimate military targets. Four of them are in Italy. Not a single European government has called an emergency session.
We are being led into war. Not with a declaration, not with a parliamentary vote, not even with an honest public debate.
On 15 April 2026, the Russian Ministry of Defence published — via its official Telegram channel — a list of European facilities it considers part of Ukraine's military infrastructure. Drone factories. Component suppliers. Real addresses. Real buildings. On EU soil.
Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council, followed immediately on X:
"The list must be taken literally: the publication of production sites for drones and other military equipment in Europe is a register of potential legitimate targets for the Russian armed forces. Sleep well, European partners."
This is not a threat buried in a diplomatic communiqué. It is a public register of targets, published by a nuclear power, naming factories in Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Denmark, Lithuania, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom — and Italy.
And our governments said nothing....
Europe stands at a strategic crossroads, facing economic pressures, energy insecurity, and ongoing conflicts on its borders. Its leaders champion unity and citizen welfare, yet their policies often perpetuate division and dependency. This raises a critical question: Are today's European leaders useful idiots, unknowingly serving external agendas that undermine continental interests, or cynical crooks, deliberately prioritizing elite alliances over the public good?
In the past five years, a profound crisis of confidence has emerged in the credibility of Western institutions and governments. As the world grapples with complex global challenges, citizens worldwide are increasingly questioning the narratives presented by traditional power centers. This erosion of trust stems from a pattern of deliberate misinformation and strategic omissions across critical issues ranging from public health to international conflicts. The consequences are far-reaching: nearly three-quarters of the global population now views Western leadership with skepticism, while alternative alliances like BRICS gain unprecedented influence. This blog post examines five key areas where Western propaganda has strained public belief, exploring how each deception contributed to the ongoing geopolitical realignment toward a multipolar world order.

In April 2025, as the Ukraine war grinds into its third year, the United States, under President Trump, is pushing for a ceasefire to end the bloodshed. Yet, European leaders and Ukraine’s government are digging in, waving the tattered flag of “Russian expansionism” to justify their resistance. Sound familiar? It should. This fear of a Russian juggernaut poised to conquer Europe is as absurd as Nazi Germany’s Lebensraum or Italy’s Sacro Egoismo—propaganda myths that fueled wars by inflating threats. Today, Europe and Ukraine are falling for the same trap, blinded by fear and vested interests to the reality: Russia’s war in Ukraine isn’t the dawn of an imperialist rampage but a desperate brake on NATO’s relentless eastward march. Why can’t they see it? Let’s dismantle the nonsense and expose why this shortsighted obsession is prolonging a devastating war.
The 2008 financial crisis exposed the fragility of Western economies, yet EU leaders have since doubled down on policies that prioritize ideological agendas and foreign conflicts over the basic needs of citizens. While housing prices in major EU capitals soar to €700,000 for modest apartments, regulators pour billions into the Ukraine war and symbolic initiatives like gender equality quotas and Green Deal mandates—policies that ignore the collapsing affordability of life for ordinary Europeans. This post examines how the EU’s obsession with "strategic defeats" abroad and virtue-signaling at home has deepened domestic crises, with housing as the clearest symbol of systemic failure. Lessons from Vienna and Singapore offer a path forward, but only if political will shifts toward citizens.
Introduction: A Familiar Script of Abandonment
The future of Europe, as of today, mirrors a tragic narrative of loyalty, betrayal, and geopolitical abandonment. Drawing from historical and literary parallels, Europe’s predicament evokes themes of subservience and disillusionment:

The Paradox of Propaganda: From Its Birth to Its Digital Decline
Propaganda, as a means of shaping public opinion, has existed for centuries, but its formalization can be traced back to the early modern era. The term itself originates from the Catholic Church's Congregatio de Propaganda Fide (Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith), established in 1622 to spread religious doctrine. Since then, propaganda has evolved into a sophisticated tool wielded by states, corporations, and ideological movements to influence masses.
