We share the same view in the underlying causes of this disaster.
However why is there no responsibility on the part of EU being manipulated to confront Russia? Where is the leadership & independence of EU?
Are EU leaders puppets? This makes its citizens puppets too. Similarly to have clown president, the joke will be on its people.
Good luck.
Well, from what I am seeing right now. I won't blame Zelensky as much as you would.
Ukraine is NOT what we think they are, Ukrainian society is a actually a lot more torn up internally, and lacking a unified national identity and national will.
The more outlandish/illogical and clownish Zelensky seems to act, the more I think he is pressured and threatened by those around him. For him to ask Azov Nazi to pretty much never surrender and die defending Mariupol instead of trying to get other forces to help them, pretty much showed that he is either unable to control the country, or he is deliberately dragging on the war and using the Russian forces as a tool to get rid of junta factions/militia that does not entirely listen to him (Kiev, the federal government).
In this case, I see a very bad convergence of interests/intentions: Moscow, Kiev (Zelensky), Washington could all be wanting the war to drag on, as their strategic interest aligns. This is at the expense of the common Ukrainian people.
Calling certain 'journalists' out as the shameless hypocrites that they are
Oh wait that's shilling
Putin's popularity was the lowest it has been since he came to power because of his handling of COVID. If he comes out of this having conquered Ukraine and stood up to America he will become very popular again.
Economically it will hurt Russia but not by much. Most of the things it buys from Europe are high end luxury items. All that will happen is that whole market will be replaced by Chinese versions. In areas like the car industry it was going to happen in a decade or two anyway, thanks to these sanctions it will happen now. Oil and gas prices are high right now, which will offset a lot of the costs.
Europe is going to be hurt really badly on the other hand. Some European companies have walked away from their investments already (i.e. giving up billions), others like volkswagen are probably going to need government aid to offset the losses they will incur.
I never thought Europe would be stupid enough to sanction China but now I'm 100% sure they will.
It will literally drive them back to the dark ages but they will do it if America tells them to.
WTF, Lviv isn't even affected by the war. It's hundreds of miles away from any Russian forces.
Both of this statement has been proven to be a hacking problem, but if i'm being genuine, i think Russian casualties already reach around 7k-9k KIA and Ukrainians has already in the 10k-12k KIA
There's been a few bombing raids in Lviv for the past few days
Please don't get me started.
In my very personal view EU national leaders are not puppets but most of them are local amateurs lacking vision and execution on a larger global scale. Career politicians the lot with the once in a while truly great exception sorely needed to keep the rest in line. The European Parliament is impotent by design and a circus to boot. Clowns the lot. No exception. The bureaucrats all make their french counterparts look good and that's not a compliment. The saving grace are some of the top bureaucrats slash pseudo-politicians in the highest positions within the EU institutions, the ones actually steering the ship. Most of them are even picked based on merit. Shockingly.
Somehow this byzantian mess still works by miracle and has since the inception decades ago.
Totally fun off-topic rant done.
