Do it anyway. Putins shadow fleet in the lifeblood of his war machine. If Europe wants to survive and focus on life and not be shackled by endless war, open conflict leading to the defeat of Russia is inevitable.

The most beautiful response to the arrogance and crude ignorance of Marco Rubio and to that inhuman nightmare of resentment and anger that is the MAGA world.

In November 2013 a Ukrainian protest comprising thousands of college students became a Euromaidan of millions.

Normal men and women without strong political views faced down paramilitary thugs in the freezing cold.

Asked why, they said the same thing he does.

"They're beating our children."
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Moscovites don’t give a damn how many poor & ethnics die, they’re just expendable garbage used to generate wealth & more territory.

The pampered of 🇷🇺 will only care when they have to fight & die, when Moscow is bombed, & most of all, if they lose their European visas.

10 Ukraninans eliminated 2 NATO batallions in a day. Tell me more how Ukraine is not ready to join NATO. Tell me more how strong Europe is and how it is ready to defend itself in case Ukraine falls (and russians use Ukrainians to strengthen their attacking forces).

Ukrainians have been warning you for years and you had all the time and opportunities to eliminate russian threat when it was limited in Ukraine. Now when you see what you are facing it might be too late unless you act very fast and go all in. You've seen the alternative.

"The methodology we are using now is designed for peace. It is designed for times when there is plenty of time for a country to carry out all the necessary reforms." Ukraine helped the EU to remember "how important security is in Europe. Perhaps we have forgotten about this."

This is more funny than the author knows because ”to be out and biking” is a Swedish idiom meaning that you’ve totally misunderstood something.

Apart from the catchy headline, many very good points in the text by Stephen M. Walt. Worth your while.
