The European "ultra right" parties tend to be NATO/Ukraine "skeptics". European leaders that Trump has praised (Hungary, Turkey) were the most independent from US. Slovakia is independent without being "ultra right". The only nations with good economic growth since Ukraine are the independent ones.

Trump/US behaviour is creating unity among the world against the US. But understand the most sycophantic colonial servitude has come from the moderate governments in Europe. Canadian political heads are all CIA agents, but there too, resistance is forced, and centrist parties have gained huge polling jumps.

The US empire's control over allies is only possible through the subterfuge of "freely chosen love" for their masters. Rulerships defiant of NATO and EU is equivalent to defiant of US, though balkanization of Europe and wars in Europe, is much easier than the wet dream of balkanizing Russia. It is a vector for massive US weapon sales, and similar reconstruction deals as Ukraine for eventually picking a side.

The worst possible decision from EU main 3 is to choose supporting Ukraine in continued war against Russia. Suicidal, and will serve balkanization of Europe objectives. Union with world for independence (not war) from US is the right path.
