Europe is essentially the vassals of the US Empire, so any pro-European stance is almost always in the context of perpetuating imperialism or trying to gain more leverage to no longer be vassals of empire. It’s impirtant to recognize that, in a conflict between Russia and the US Empire, the US Empire winning continues to fuel imperialism, while Russia winning results in a dramatically changed geopolitical field. In the context of bringing about socialism globally, the US Empire is by far the largest obstacle.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not “pro-Europe” by any means. But I live here, and it’s generally quite nice for me.
I don’t feel obligated to pick sides in this conflict, I have no delusions of having any influence on it. Whomever wins, wins, and we’ll deal with that if and when it happens.
That’s more a stance of intentional blindness, though, which as a strategy means you’ll never advance meaningful positive change. And Europe is fairly nice to live in for many people, precisely because Europe benefits from imperialism.
