Corporations in the US, UK and on the Continent love to distract from their socialism for the rich by finding some "others" to demonize.
Skeptical
The Telegraph published an interesting piece by David Frost, entitled, The EU isn’t about to collapse. It’s worse than that. Written from a post-Brexit UK point of view, granted. But some interesting insights. A sample:
I could imagine that there are some who will disagree. But the discussion should be a good one.

YES, US Much Less Reliable and Predictable, WHY?
Power of US special interests has continually grown. Donor class, top 1% NOW favor Biden with approx. 85% approval. Historical RECORD for this small demographic.
Oddly, all other demographic groups have dropped in their approval of Biden, who's over-all approval in recent NBC poll last week, 37%. Down 22pt from Jan 2021.
Unelected special interests uniquely control Biden's 1600, making US very unstable & unreliable. Essentially, citizens and countries' interests are clearly subordinate to these special interests, often called globalists.
Above, why democracy everywhere is in decline, corruption of special interests makes democracy inherently unstable and destabilizing force to be used for the benefit of a few, not the country or its citizens.
Making matters even worse, satellite/puppet/partner US democracies get pulled into globalists agenda. We end up with World on fire and talk of WW III commonplace.

What FEW understand, Trump OPENLY rejects globalist special interest fueled donor class described above that's destroying democracy from within.
Trump MAGA movement fueled by small donors, mission to help regular citizens, not top 1%, and country become better, thru primarily vibrant private sector growth policies, NOT BIG GOVT. policies Biden & d's pursue.
WHY elite donor class, TOP 1% has 85% approval rating of Biden. Above's true partisan divide in America, rich big Govt. elites vs. broad based private sector emphasis.
US partisan divide = what's fueling global destabilization

You mean they are worried the US is growing less dependable if MAGA wins.

Like all great empires: rot from within. In this case MAGA rot.
Nonsense. An international outlook benefits us all. The only democratic backsliding is due to the increasing measures needed to remove the influence of the Russia/China/NK/Iran dictator cabal. Fortunately the latter is going nowhere either.
The only way we will have WW3 is if the dictator cabal messes up and touches a hot coal!!!

Lol. Love the photo of Stoltenberg telling Trump to get the f back in line.

Russian speaking former Ukrainian citizens achieving their legal independence for Cause (documented human, property & citizenship rights violations) from Ukraine & becoming Russian Federation citizens is not fascism.
10M former Ukrainians sought protection from the anti-democratic Zelensky regime. Multiple public EU condemnations of Kiev for being anti-democratic towards their Russian speaking minority is more proof, that Zelensky's regime was in fact was fascist.
Regardless, Biden massively escalated Kiev's military capabilities and threw gasoline on this formerly contained regional civil war, forcing Russia to respond.
Russia's not learning any lessons from Biden Admin's policy failures, rather world's paying HEAVY price for this dangerous escalation between nuclear powers and Ukraine's becoming failed state, as global chaos and weapons proliferation spreads like wildfire.
