Baerbock pledging allegiance to the Ukrainian war effort regardless of how the German people feel perfectly reflects the state of modern western democracies. Representative government has been so thoroughly dismantled that they don't even care about appearances anymore.

As the US's proxy war against #Russia continues, it has to be recalled that the 2016 Russiagate propaganda campaign played a significant role in turning the American public's opinion against Russia.

By framing Russia as "a threat to democracy" the US lawmakers and officials played on the public's patriotic emotions and convinced them that they can either be patriotic or support Russia.

Russia was no longer called a matter of foreign policy, but something far bigger - a domestic threat to the American public.

Russia was no longer a threat to American superpower status but the general public of the US. This kind of narrative was pushed into the public discourse.

And today, we find ourselves at a position where the US empire is ramping up the games of nuclear chicken with the biggest nuclear power in the world and everybody, instead of opposing, is supporting this.

Because of propaganda that continued for years, the public is manipulated into supporting anything as long as it is framed as "tackling Russia."

I also have a Substack publication called THE GREAT AWAKENING, which you can check.
