“Putin's aims are extraordinarily ambitious, way beyond the capacity of his country, which he is ruining,” he added.

Sikorski called the full-scale invasion a “civilizational struggle.”

“We [Europe] represent the world of rules, of peace, of prosperity. And Putin has gone back to the world of Genghis Khan.”

Putin wants to take over the world?

Give me a break.
******
Exactly. Russia is concerned about its border, not the whole world. It’s the one-worlders from the EU, the American left and the openly Marxist countries who are trying to spread their ideologies worldwide.

Maxi, you mocked Ruzzia everyday about their inability to take more territory
and how it took to take those Ruzzia Speaking Territories in YouCrayne.

It was “Kiev in 3 Days” everyday here.

How is Ruzzia a threat to EU Countries if they could not take “Kiev in 3 Days”

That’s a fair question and it’s probably a reason President Trump wants Europe to get their act together so we can focus on China as the real threat.

Hopefully the U.S. military funding for Europe will only last long enough to close the peace deal with Russia. I truly hope that Trump pulls out of NATO. Europe needs to defend itself. That’s the one thing that Zelensky has said that actually makes sense. Good luck though asking the indigenous white Europeans that have been treated so poorly by their own governments to defend Europe. The third world Muslim hoards won’t do it.

How much of Europe did they control prior to the breakup of the Soviet Union?

Over half.
And what happened?

They couldnt control it.

This mindless dribble about Russia wsnting to take over everything...

Our focus needs to be the Pacific Rim. And guess who is part of the Pacific Rim?

Get out of Europe all together. Negotiate with Russia and create trade deals for development of minerals and oil and gas off their pacific rim holdings.

Outside of India and maybe Africa, our focus should be on our side of the globe and the Pacific rim.

We’ve taken offense to anyone intervening here since our creation. And now, we’ve got every son of a bitch nation on earth sending their criminals here.
Romanians are being caught crossing our northern border now.

We make deals with the pacifuc rim countries and we can tell the mid east to stuff it up their ass also.

One gets to wondering, and what one finds from this morning is the "5:27:34 AM" sharing of another of those monetized YouTube channel posts ( content made in the US ) ---

Quite a long thread which is not so obvious to many Freepers. Begun February 24, 2022, and three-years' active for those who seek a little safe haven from too much pushback.

Trump literally said a few days ago that the US will cut it’s total defense spending in half, what is this Polish LGBTQ lover smoking?

You’d better worry more about Turkey, with all of the support they will have from all the Muslims in Europe.

Then they will have to deal with the Turks, they only joined NATO to weaken their rival, so they can bring back The Ottoman Empire.

--- "You’d better worry more about Turkey, with all of the support they will have from all the Muslims in Europe."

Personally, I shall leave it to the Europeans to worry, being here on this lovely and currently rainy southeast sea island in these our United States.

Turkey's paramilitary Gray Wolves -- Ülkü Ocakları - are an interesting case in point, since you mention it. Operating in various European nations, and most recently banned by France, this still active remnant of Ottoman nostalgia is still very Turkish. And yet Turkey is in NATO. And we are still in Turkey, at the Incirlik Air Base and the Izmir Air Base. So there's an interesting and complex nexus with which to navigate and deal.

What is interesting is that, from our experience when we were residents of Germany, the Gray Wolves carrying Tukrish flags sometimes contested with other "nationalist" but non-Turkish groups. Islam is a threat to Europe, as it is to these United States courtesy of Obama. But Islam also doesn't 'neighbor' well with other nationalist Muslims. A hefty mess.

Addendum: My bride and I are of a mond that the US should exit the Turkish air bases. The bases, being there, help prop up the local economy.

Which is why the Biden/NATO irresponsible behavior is so dangerous and and all the ridicule of Russia is so stupid.

Russia has known for decades that it cannot compete with the West in advanced conventional arms so it has concentrated on it's nuclear forces to keep it's super power status.

Nuclear forces are the cornerstone of Russia's post Cold War defense strategy so when they talk about going nuclear, it's not idle talk.

The governments of Western Europe are currently on track to become Islamic republics anyway. This was their choice.
