Are Europeans throwing each other under the bus to avoid Russian retaliation?
London was particularly infuriated by Scholz's comments about the help they've been providing to the Neo-Nazi junta, which might suggest that MI6 had some involvement in the Bundeswehr leaks, particularly to divert attention away from the UK's complicity in direct attacks on Russian naval assets. In other words, it seems as if the Europeans are now tossing the hot potato to each other in order to avoid the possible consequences of Russian anger. And indeed, Moscow is certainly (and rightfully) furious, but the political West is still completely colorblind to any red lines. Or at least it will continue to be until it dawns at 3:00 AM one day.
