It is true that the US has no allies, only "interests".

I did not say this; Putin did not say this. Henry Kissinger said this.

Kissinger also said: “It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.”

If you doubt that these things are true, just look at Germany. The USA blew up their Nord Stream pipeline and thereby RUINED the German economy.

Actually, look at all of Europe - the USA has removed the EU as an economic competitor by denying it cheap energy from Russian and forcing it to buy AMERICAN gas at 4x the price.

Remember, America has only "interests", and it was American "interests" that demanded Germany be de-industrialised and all their wonderful industry moved to the USA.

And what did Germany do in return?

NOTHING.

That is because Germany and the rest of Europe are all VASSALS of the US Empire.

Do you know what a "vassal" is? The dictionary defines vassal as "a person under the protection of a feudal lord to whom he has vowed homage and fealty".

For 80 years, the US has been the "feudal lord" who provides "protection" to Europe. There are 6 EU countries that have US nuclear strike forces stationed on their land - that is part of the price they must pay for their lord's protection from other lords (like Russia).

Europe is all occupied territory. I lived in Germany for 11 years and I can tell you, the Americans in Germany can do whatever they want - they transport nukes in trucks across German roads without even telling the German authorities. They stationed the Pershing IIs while I was there, threatening to turn all of Germany into a sea of glass in a nuclear exchange with the Warsaw Pact. Germany is NOTHING if not a vassal to the USA in every literal sense of that term.

I mean, what do you call a person who lets another person take away their livelihood, their self-determination and their identity in return for military, financial and economic protection?
