This reminds me of the war in “1984”.
Those Europeans can’t wait to jump out of their spa pools and go bayonet to bayonet with some Russians.
They dream of being in tanks while riding their scooters.
BTTT
Trump needs to make this front and center tomorrow night.
Those Europeans can’t wait to jump out of their spa pools and go bayonet to bayonet with some Russians.
No they can’t wait for American boys to go bayonet to bayonet with some Russians.
The Euroweenies are pathetic liars and useless allies.
The days of “shared values” are long gone.
As the EU is fracturing and economies tanking, best they rebuild the Nordstream pipeline they blew up, and restart Trade and Commerce with the country that has the largest mineral and energy reserves in the world- Russia.
Of course the unelected fools in power want war. Fools.
The purchase of Russian gas was good for both nations. Cheap gas fueled German industry. The relationship was good for both sides until the DC/London/Brussels axis started a series of color revolutions and fanned the embers of Ukrainian nazism to help overthrow Kiev.
who cares?
its time to remove sanctions and normalize relations.
ceasefire now!

Virtue signaling from European leaders about standing w/ Ukraine, trashing Trump, is belied by the EU sending more money to Russia in payment for petroleum products than provided in war aid to Ukraine.
They continue to trade with Russia and import oil, gas, and
coal. If they were really serious, they’d address this first.
Reminds me of the end of Bridge Over The River Kwai.
Zelensky supporters: what have I done?
The ECB can print trillions, just like Bernanke did.
The dirty little secret is that money has to have something to buy, and it is very possible the raw materials for artillery shells have run out underground in friendly countries. This would be a surprise. It has been hinted at for oil and gas, but for the materials needed for millions of artillery shells, this would be news.
This makes one particularly curious about the Kabuki-style theater that has so spawned the "narrative."
Expect some next "Squirrel! Look over there" in hopes one stops noticing the elite of the European Commission and the EU's duplicity.

Amen. Restoring Trade and Commerce with Russia benefits all of the EU and the world. The unelected EU leadership still wants war, and it will destroy the EU ( as we are witnessing), fools they are.
One might also factor in the labor costs associated with the production of such materiel. It is assured that labor costs in Russia versus that now famous Scranton, Pennsylvania, producer made famous last September by the Shapiro-Zelensky "signing" are wildly different. One needs troops to fight, troops to support troops -- "tooth to tail" -- but also personnel to manufacture war materiel to "feed" the fight. Likely that the Russians are not being paid anything like the Scranton plant employees.
Putin’s ponzi scheme of sorts.
The Brits freeze and confiscate Russian money in their financial institutions and the Krauts make up for it with doing business with the Ruskis.
Euroweenies, the right hand taketh and the left hand giveth away.
And, destroy the economies of multiple countries in Europe.
Doubling down on a sanction war is political suicide for politicians in Europe.
Forcing Ukraine to end the war with any deal it can get and ending the sanction war is what is best for the citizens of the EU.
Biden did as well by drying up US oil and gas supplies.
President Trump warned them in his last term and they laughed at him. Now they expect us to bail them out for their own stupidity and still want to attack us and make us the bad guys. George Washington warned us...
In his 1796 Farewell Address, George Washington warned against foreign entanglements and urged the United States to maintain neutrality. Washington’s policy was based on his belief that the country should focus on its own needs and interests.
Washington’s advice
Avoid permanent alliances with foreign nations
Instead, rely on temporary alliances for emergencies
Set aside personal likes and dislikes of foreign nations
Be friendly and open commerce to all nations
Avoid becoming involved in foreign wars
Honor existing international treaties, but do not extend them
Advocate free trade with all nations
Washington’s reasoning
Washington’s advice was based on his own experiences, knowledge of the costs of war, and his fear that political parties would involve the United States in foreign conflicts. He believed that the United States should be an example to other nations of justice and benevolence.
Washington’s advice against joining permanent alliances influenced American foreign policy for over a century and a half.
