NATO is not weak! NATO is strong!
Germany is deindustrializing, the EU is a awash with illegal muslim immigration and riots and getting poorer by the day, and the West's inability to produce weapons is pitiful - all due to a bunch of Ivy League idiots who thought outsourcing America's industry to break the middle class was a bright idea.
You sir, write like a delusional drunk.
Sad, ain’t it? But that’s the unvarnished truth about the west.
Some people are so delusional, for them it comes down to war.
But, there’s no need for argument or for war.
Eventually all corrupt systems collapse. Until then, people can argue anything they want. After then, it’s kind of obvious for a time. Later - when people forget - the old arguments are revived.
All we - in the west - have to do is wait for you in Russia to collapse. You’ve collapsed already multiple times. After you were defeated by Japan, after you were defeated by Germany in WWI, and after you were defeated in Afghanistan.
Our long-run priority is to stabilize the line separating us from you and then wait. (In the short-run, our priority is to allow the Ukrainians to reposition the line as best as they can.)
We, in the west don’t want anything to have anything to do with you. We don’t need your oil. You think Crimea is a resort, we choose among the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, California and Hawaii. Our vodka is better.
Where Putin and the oligarchs will stash their mansions, their yachts and their concubines when you don’t have hard currency I don’t know. But, let me guess, Upper Volta or one of those other African dictators you prop up with the Wagner Group.
