Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

To use the earlier analogy, Roosevelt has met Hitler without Europe to discuss peace in WW2. And within a few days Roosevelt is already repeating Hitler's propaganda.

….

I wouldn't go so far as to say they're headless chickens. They're at least talking about what to do if certain scenarios come to pass even if they publically deny things like deploying troops now. They're working on a massive military defence package at EU level precisely because the Orange Felons acting the bollocks and in order to make sure Ukraine doesnt fall because truthfully were approaching the point where Russia is at a very real chance of collapsing in the next year economically and militarily. As for Germany and France, Germany is in the middle of an election atm dealing with AfD Vatnik asshats right now, Scholz is not likely to be chancellor after its done so best to hold on what happens there till a new government is formed. As for France its well known that the French don't declare the value of what they sent, they just send it and apart from publically known assets like Mirages and Ceasars we know they're aiding Ukraine just not publicising the costs.

In addition to the silence from European leaders this morning it is also infuriating watching these Trump conferences and no journalists calling him out on his constant lies. Especially the Zelensky stuff last night.

I don't know what exactly you're expecting but even during his first term his policy shifts were so erratic that EU members worked on an alternative payments system that would protect EU businesses from random sanctions.

Trump is all bluster. Did Mexico build a wall for him? Nah!

His only power is import sanctions that make life more expensive for this voters.

Russia collapsed twice in the last century, first in 1917 (Russian Empire) then in 1991 (USSR). A Third final collapse is possible if the Russian Government runs out of currency reserves and their military is so devastated after 4 years of fighting Ukraine that the regional governments decide to break away purely out of self preservation at which case Russia is reduced to a fraction of its current size. It's not impossible for it to happen either because Putin thought he could walk into Ukraine 3 years ago thinking they were weak and easy to dominate. Instead the Ukrainians have torn them to bits despite overwhelming odds. Putin's looking for a ceasefire now for a chance to regroup and rebuild not for peace and noone should give him that opportunity, now is the best time to put the Vatnik Bastards down for good. Trump might want to help Putin as he's a corrupt idiot but he might not be able to as there would still be strong resistance to it in the US and everyone else won't even tolerate giving Russia anything.

I'm surprised that no one has played up to Trumps ego in relation to achieving what no other American president has achieved in the past - to completely destroy their arch nemesis for the last 80 years.

To do so without a single American life lost would have been unthinkable in the time of JFK or Lyndon Johnson. Imagine his legacy after that? Vs the alternative - being remembered as an orange dictator wannabe.

Not a word from the UN or the European Parliament - allowing T to promulgate patent untruths like ‘Ukraine started this’ - the hell they did.
United they must stand or Divided - they and we will surely fall -

^^^ And so the ironic contradictory phrase " GOOD NAZI " was born.

There never was such individual and never will be.

Sounds very plausible.

Apply Trump logic to Pearl Harbour. I wonder if anyone in the US will do that.

Yeah, criticism would probably just make him double down on f**king over Ukraine because Elon thinks Germany and the UK are woke. I really hope some nutter just blows his brains out at this stage it would do the world a lot of good.

More sanctions and that's it? Weak response from EU and very disappointing. Putin will just shrug it off and with him on the controls of Trump's brain he will get US sanctions lifted.

I hope you are being premature. I hope they are joining the dots and realising that a mighty trade war with the US is now inevitable and that this goes for any and all interactions between the US and Europe going forward. Europe can't work with the US, and this is a lot for anyone to absorb and process. There were common shared world views, not any more.

Basically, give them time, they are still dragging themselves out of the wreckage of the worst diplomatic multi vehicle pile-up I can remember in my lifetime.

EU needs to announce a nuclear weapons program. The deal with the US's massive efforts aimed at non proliferation since WW2 was - we got your back.

The US hasn't got anyone's back, they are in bed with the enemy, enjoying a cigarette.
