We just totally lack leadership as we are gifted with the most pacifist leaders.
A proof that pacifisme is a kind of suicide by proxy.

Sure - but as he announces that the US intends to do nothing, Russia can hardly receive a better invitation.
Deterrence is reduced to what Europe can muster...which is laughable.
December 8, 2025 at 8:50 AM
There are many conflicting reports now.... Pokrovsk seems much less worse than originally reported.... It has held far longer...
Now this imbalance is reported....

Honestly the only thing negative reports like this impacts is to increase the pressure on 🇺🇦 to accept a bad deal.
December 7, 2025 at 4:41 PM
Yes it is amazing this kind of hostility originates from India.....
December 7, 2025 at 4:36 PM
Yes - in the very same way Putin needs to end Ukraine (and the Baltics) as they would expose the weaknesses and low standard of living loss of freedom an autocracy offers.
December 7, 2025 at 4:03 PM
It wont change anything.
Putin will not stop. He is emboldened by Trumps behaviour.
Russia will never have a better chance of getting everything it wants and more.
That against a peace where Putin hasn't got a guarantee he wont end up being blamed for the cost.

I wonder what he will choose.

This all should demonstrate just how detrimental EU's submissive tariff negotiations were.

Reagan spoke to opponents when he has subjected them to hard pressure over time.
They came to talk to him when they were done.
Reagan talked/negotiated from a position of strength he had created, not from weakness and inability to understand geopolitics like Trump and Vance.

One could ask - is this truly what a majority of Americans voted for ?
I don't remember this being part of the campaigning, revolutionizing 80 years of US geopolitics.....and with what.
An outright contradiction in terms - isolationisme coupled with outright subversion.
December 7, 2025 at 5:35 AM
I like the complete contradiction of offloading responsibility in order to not intervene while directly aiming at subversive acts towards European nations.
In general expecting this new strategy to retain allies whilst abandoning them or outright undermining their independence is an absurdity.
December 7, 2025 at 5:31 AM
Well as EU has proven to be highly unsuitable to act in solidarity on existential threats (yep Spain and Belgium you are definitely on the ego chart), there is not much point in a union.
That will be sad for Spain when they need new loans....
December 6, 2025 at 11:21 PM
Narh - that is too optimistic of you.
Just look at Georgia....
Hungary should simply be expelled from the EU together with Slovakia and Czechia. They don't share our values anyway.
December 6, 2025 at 11:13 PM
What could possibly go wrong. 500 million European feeling betrayed, arming to the teeth learning from actual ongoing battle being forced to fight Russia for survival.

I am sure we will treat you with outmost respect.......
December 6, 2025 at 11:11 PM
What do you mean - are they now bombing themselves on purpose ?
December 6, 2025 at 11:07 PM
But the problem Anders, will be to explain to a rather large part of the population, that the need to be investing in a big club becomes of even greater importance if Ukraine stops bashing Russia with their club every day.
December 6, 2025 at 6:34 PM
I fully agree.
Russia has no chance of winning this - they are dependent on Europe.
The problem is that our dear (non) leaders decided to hope for Trump instead of making objectively sound choices.
That leaves us behind at it will cost millions of European lifes completely unnecessary.
December 6, 2025 at 6:30 PM
They will always push for more.
We saw a softer yes but similar detachment from Obama (Crimea),
USA is not a trustworthy ally, it is long overdue that 🇪🇺 does this alone.
That will be tough for a range of countries like Belgium and Spain that believed it was other countries investing in defense
December 6, 2025 at 6:27 PM
What USA is force fully pushing, will result in war.
Rewarding Russia, transferring the best defended Ukrainian to Russia, putting a cap on the Ukrainian military and providing absolutely no security guarantee is an invitation to Russia for further aggression. USA is rolling out the red carpet.
December 6, 2025 at 6:17 PM
They can kiss their climate and Gretha goodbye if Ukraine and the European security situation is not handled to a satisfactory level.

Right now Europe is the only region really acting on climate.

The sequence of problems to solve starts with Ukraine and Europe.
December 5, 2025 at 11:31 PM
I am sure if you look deeper the normal irresponsibility of youth has been nurished and organised.

These students don't have a future if Germany can't muster a defense that with Europe can deter Russia.

Do they want a future or not ?
December 5, 2025 at 11:28 PM
Hungary has ~€22 billion frozen within the EU.
I propose these are confiscated and used to support 🇺🇦 instead.
December 5, 2025 at 11:22 PM
No - they should be kicked out now and not be re-admitted for a minimum of 20 years.
The same applies to Slovakia and Czechia.

Alternatively, I don't think the north will take these countries and the souths (pun intended Spain and Portugal) lack of support well post war.... EU could well split.
December 5, 2025 at 11:14 PM
So US is leaving Poland, Romania and?
simply leaving all the front Eastern states of NATO at the point in time when 🇷🇺 is most fired up.
Nice allies.
Their 'peace' deal for 🇺🇦 with capped defense ceeded main defense lines and then proclaiming US leaves 🇪🇺 2027.
Sure they smell disaster too.. traitors.
December 5, 2025 at 11:06 PM
Yes it would be obvious to transfer electronics and electro mechanical production now in China back to Europe/Ukraine.
The European - Chinese relation is poisoned by Beijings support to Russia.
It will have increasing and permanent negative effects on Chinese economy..a prolonged transition.
December 5, 2025 at 10:59 PM
What's even a bit funny is, that is the same (lack) of understanding that Obama formed policy over in 2014 after crimea.
The same applies for offloading to Europe
Don't tell MAGA that their strategy is aligned with Obama foreign policy.
