That’s a problem for the EU to figure out. Maybe antagonizing its biggest neighbour hoping that US will come charging in to save the EU wasn’t the smartest idea in retrospect.
I think you may have missed my sarcasm there mate. Clearly the EU (and the UK now that they’re no longer a part of the EU) are capable of protecting themselves without relying on the US. Sure, it’s a nice relationship to have, but it isn’t the be all and end all! It might come as a surprise but the EU (along with the other traditional allies of the US) aren’t damsels in distress, waiting for the US to save them.
Fighting individual countries might favor Russia depending on the country, but I would love to see Putin get his ass handed to him if he dared attack the whole european bloc.
Given how badly Russia is performing in Ukraine, I’d love to see it fail at trying to project power in the EU.
Leaving aside the sheer absurdity of Russia attacking Europe, the fact that Russia has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world appears to escape you. Of course, you also think that Russia is performing badly in Ukraine, so what else is there to say about you.
The notion that the west also has a strong propaganda machine hasn’t escaped me but you clearly seem to have a font of knowledge regarding this. So, if you would be so kind, explain what is happening in this war and why a so called super power hasn’t been able to roll over a much smaller nation.
Plenty of people have already explained what’s happening in the war. Here are two excellent articles from people with a clue that you might want to read.
It’s incredible that you think Russia is just fighting Ukraine here while ignoring all the resources the west has poured into this war. Not to mention the fact that NATO was training and arming Ukrainian army for close to a decade before the war even started.
Russia is fighting a war of attrition with a very limited force, and it’s depleting entire NATO arsenals as western media openly admits now. If you think Russia is doing poorly here, then what can we say about the achievements of NATO in Afghanistan for two decades. NATO lost against the Taliban who didn’t have any support from anybody, or any modern weapons.
Not only is Russia prevailing on the battlefield, but Russia is also winning the economic war with the west. Russian economy is now growing while the west is going into a recession. Russia has massively increased its influence with the Global South, while the west is becoming the pariah of the world.
The fact that westerners can’t understand this is absolutely incredible.
It did not escape me. Too bad they can’t use it because using it means they’re also “turned to glass”, as the cool kids say, if they do. France and the UK do have a nuclear arsenal of their own, and the US might actually hold their promises and retaliate. Their arsenal may not be as big, but hey, it works at least, and it’s enough to kill all the war criminals in Moscow (and, sadly, thousands and thousands of civilians, which would be an absolute tragedy).
Despite the narrative that you despicable Russian trolls are pushing, the war of aggression launched by Russia is a failure that is reminiscent of the failure that Afghanistan was. Russia failed to achieve the objectives it set out to accomplish in a reasonable time frame. It’s a stalemate, at least for now. Which shows how pathetic the Russian war machine is, especially when you consider the numbers involved here. If it’s struggling against Ukraine alone, just imagine how ridiculously it would fare against a bloc with multiple times the population, with a nuclear arsenal to boot.
I wouldn’t dare say that Ukraine is winning the war, or that it will eventually, mind you. I never have. Only time will tell. All I was saying is that Russia has nothing to brag about. They achieved very little in the past two years relative to the effort they put in, and managed to reach new highs in cruelty and perfidy.
It’s pretty clear that you genuinely believe everything you wrote here, which means that no constructive discussion is possible with you. Enjoy living in your fantasy world while you can, it’s going to come crashing down soon enough. Best of luck to you.

welcome to the real world mate

So Russia has more… The UK and France have “enough”. What difference does the number make?
And you think that Russia is performing well in Ukraine? Now I know you’re not serious about any of this…
The fact that people still can’t understand what’s happening in this war is a real testament to western propaganda.
