    I don’t get it. Putin wants the land, their neutrality, to stop any weapon sales, for them not to join any alliance. And what does Ukraine get, besides eventual second invasion?

    Congrats to the EU. With the destabilization of one of it’s largest allies it seems the most of the continent is uniting to make up the difference. Seems like Europe as a whole will dominate the next few decades

      We have our own unique blend of fascist movements in every country, unfortunately. Right now it’s still manageable but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows either.

      Don’t want to get all doomer, I’m very hopeful and proud to be European, but I do want to set realistic expectations. People need to fight the good fight and not rest on their laurels.

        Luckily the common parliamentary system does seem more effective at slowing them down

      En contraire. Europe is split off Asia where the center of civilisation will be soon. Not a problem for the USA because they have their west coast.

      That’d be true if both parties would actually want what they say they want, not if either party is untrustworthy and has a record of breaking agreements.

    Best fucking investment ever! Definitely going to return multiples on the investment. Puttie’s little massive scam be “booming” like Russian weapon depots!
