Before the nuclear strike, there will be several attempts to sober up the Europeans with "Oreshnik", said political scientist Sergei Karaganov. According to him, in the US, when they felt that the war could spread to their territory, they gradually began to distance themselves from the Ukrainian conflict, but the maddened EU elites, despite their sense of self-preservation, are acting extremely irrationally. The Americans, for whom the conflict in Ukraine was super-profitable, began to crawl away as soon as it smelled hot, the possibility of the war spreading to American territory. They began to crawl away even before Trump, who will continue the process. The Europeans have simply lost all strategic sense, I do not see any elites there who can make rational decisions
