I thought you said stealing was OK?
Russia is stealing land that it doesn’t own in Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine, and you not only DON’T complain about it or condemn Russia, you even cheer on Russia to take more!
So, the EU is just copying Russia’s move, right?
This is the kind of wisdom that flows from the simple minded.
Repeating earlier wrongs does little to improve the situation. I don’t see any plausible way of returning Ukraine to to it’s immediate post-Soviet condition and much was done by multiple players after that to get us where it is now. So many have died and many more doomed to follow them and the country destroyed. Did anyone involved here pause at any point to consider the consequences of what they were doing before they did it?
yup, copying Russia's "move".
So do you think that they will copy the other Russian move of mobilizing hundreds of thousands of men and losing tens of thousands butchered on the battlefield will be copied?
Everybody wants to be a gangster, till it's time to do gangster sh#t.
The EU doesn't have the stomach for that level of blood letting. Neither do we.
It's all fun and games till you're sitting in a trench or APC heading towards Ivan and drones and shells start falling.... or worse. Sitting at an EU conference table and the entire city of Brussels or Luxemborg City get to feel the temperature of the sun up close.
Russia isn't going to stop till Ukraine is crying peace, Moldova is neutralized and the Baltics come to heel.
I'm not saying that's right or wrong, good or bad. I'm saying that's what Putin says he's going to do and I'd be foolish to not believe him. In other word I trust him to do what he says more than our collection of grifters, corporate gangsters and economic hitmen.
