Much worse than France actually. France won WW1, survived WW2 and holds onto a colonial empire even to this day.

Turns out that tank shells stop them just fine.

So who dominates the EU?
Germany first. France close second.
Both countries actually got some sense beaten into them by losing hard more than once.
And now both fight for their national interest in mostly peaceful ways.
Both the US, Russia and China could learn a thing or two from them.

Damn, for such lowly forces DPR troops are pulling a lot of weight. How come their combat performance in the last two days have been so good?

- A lot of them are actually verteran, they been fought for years.
- Their motivation are stronger than regular Russian troops.
- Due to not trained with Russian troops, they probably tag along with main force or got easier task.

Pleasant surprise. TRT is criticising the closet racism of the West. Especially with regards to preferential treatment for White Christian refugees from Ukraine over refugees from Muslim countries.

A captured Russian soldier calls home

On the media propaganda front: the west has gone full stasi. On reddit anyone posting anything pro Russia is being flagged or taken down as Russian disinformation. RT in Europe is gone. It's only still in the UK because its heavily neutered by OFCOM and is popular with a few vocal dissident politicians.

I imagine they'll start cracking down on the pro-Ukraine side too soon. Having a significant portion of your populace riled up for a war you don't want to fight isn't very smart. Western media is finally letting through criticism of the Ukranian regime. The beatings of Africans and Indians, shooting of "looters" in the streets of Kiev.
