Let us recall that the Western pretenders to the Throne, during the crusades, set their sights on trying to conquer Constantinople which was their primary goal all along. The 'holy land' was not the wasteland of Jerusalem - a joke if it ever was one - but the real ROME at the time.

And today, and ever since, they've been trying to 'march to the East' to take out the Third, and Last ROME. The end of the West was written long ago and we now enter the period where the rotting carcass earns it cremation.
