    One can only hope that without the US, Ukraine can still hold out long enough for Russia to implode. One must unfortunately further hope that the US doesn’t start helping Russia e.g by undoing sanctions or even sending over money and troops.

      the day my country starts helping russia destroy Ukraine is coming soon, i fear. all this has been prelude to us, softening us up for the concept. wearing us out until we no longer have the energy to stand up and fight for what is right. our treatment of our ally will be a permanent bloodstain in the tapestry of history, and our turn towards russia a permanent singe.

        Trump wasn’t joking about gambling with ww3 unfortunately. He indeed has the cards but is stupid enough to play it wrong.

        If your country starts supporting Russia, the whole fucking world is going to be very puzzled if you’re not rioting by that point.

        Maybe take some lessons from the people who gave you the Statue of Liberty.

      If we exclude number of nukes, because if they become the main factor of a war everyone loses, Europe (EU+UK) has more active military… everything… than Russia and China. In most metrics Europe surpasses the US, and if we include Ukraine then it surpasses the US in everything except spending.

      The only thing holding Europe back is Europe. If our politicians get their shit together and put their national egos aside for a bit, then the only thing we need from the US is for them to get the fuck out of Europe.

      The sad part is knowing millions of American troglodytes would love to die on behalf of Putin and Trump.
