      NATO means nothing because Trump won’t back NATO if a NATO country is attacked. Trump wouldn’t defend the US even if the US was invaded.

      Going forward, Europe needs to assume there’s no US. If they can’t supply Ukraine, they can’t supply NATO.

      NATO is not happening now.

      EU will NOT do what it takes. Germany’s ruling oligarch clan wants Russian gas back on, everyone else can get fucked.

      Ukraine needs nuclear weapons to defend itself properly.

      I hope they already started the assembly. Ukraine tried to play by the rules and look where it go it. Geopolitics at the end of the day who has the guns and will to use them.

            Like this? Like switching domestic heating over to heat pumps? Germany isn’t planning on using any fossil gas in the future, the stuff that will be left (because it cannot be avoided, e.g. as chemical feedstock, or to reduce iron ore) will be green hydrogen.

            Also I’m sorry you don’t like Gepards, or Leopards. Or Lynxes. Big cats in general.

              You haven’t been following the innumerable articles about German industries wringing their hands and moaning about the good old days of cheap energy. They might be cajoling the general public, but the corporations are suffering and having trouble adapting. Everything was designed around cheap Russian gas. And they’ve thrown all of their nuclear infrastructure away because of their rabid ecologist party (which has in part contaminated their French neighbours).

                Nuclear is no replacement for the critical uses of gas, noone wants to build it anyway because it’s expensive AF, and yes of course companies are moaning. They always are.

                A full 1/3rd of German gas use is domestic heating which is getting replaced by heat pumps now, up to 70% of the replacement costs get covered by the state. Because, apparently, Germany wants to stick with Russian gas? Meanwhile, French industry uses ballpark the same amount of gas as the German industry. Yet noone is talking about the French industry controlling the French state, making them bow to Russians.

                The fuck are you people talking about. What parallel dimension are you living in.

                  Where did france import their gas from? Where is their current supply mix?

                    Mostly they’re buying from Norway, their mix hasn’t really changed.

                    As Europe overall is weaning itself off natural gas (Germany leads, but others will follow once the economics of scale are there) Norway will in all likelihood be the only supplier for a while.

              1. Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza with direct support from Germany
              2. Ukraine is losing the war to Russian in part because Germany’s support has been spotty at best.
              3. US maintains 40k troops within Germany to defend it against Russia when Germany can barely slap two operational brigades for deployment while spending similar tomoney to France who actually maintains a proper defense posture. Who is stealing all this defense money?

                1. Completely irrelevant to the topic at hand
                2. Neither is Ukraine losing nor has the support been spotty. It could certainly be more intense, but it has been steady.
                3. Where is what money? Our defence budget has been a joke for ages.

                Go back to lemmygrad, FUD there.

                  And your response is a lot of cope.

                    The topic you started was Germany allegedly being an oligarchy, moreso, that those oligarchs would form a singular clan. And I must disappoint you: The foreign policy failures of the last decades are very much a topic that’s talked about in German politics.

        What is the eu supposed to do? Unlike the US our hand down equipment is shet, ukraine doesn’t want it unlike the us stockpile? So we have and will fund the war!

        The unfortunate and sensitive truth of the war is, that russia has to “win”! It does if doesn’t want to repeat the October revolution! The thing is it can’t, what do you think what the fuck would happen if Ukraine got its nukes and strategic bomber fleet back bec russia broke the budapest accord? That Putin would shy away from a nuclear war if his gilded throne starts shaking?

          If EU wants to be treated like a global player, EU should be deploying in Ukraine. Defeat Russia in its own back yard.

          Then EU can start demanding to be treated like equal patner vis a vis US

          That’s the thing about credibility, it requires hard sick power and result. None of which EU shown thus far.

          Trump exposed EU for being weak as bitches and instead of EU doing the thing, they do more sumits and thoughts and prayers.

          Nobody is stopping anynof EU member states to deploy in Ukraine. Russia got Koreans helping the JFC…

            I’ll make you recall this comment when a Russian bomb tore your place apart just because the EU started to be credible.

            There are 450m EU citizens at risk. Those are the ones the EU member countries have to care about. Yeah, we hate what Putin did to UA but our priority is EU first and there’s nothing wrong about that.

            Deploying EU troops on UA territory and let them fight Russian soldiers directly will be seen as an act of war. That’s not yet another red line that Russia set up and people ignored. Putin will warm up whatever nukes he has left - not as a threat but as a weapon to use.

            And then what? Would you risk everything just to prove what a mean boy you are?

                UA wants security guarantees. Deploying Western troops on their territory to secure the borders is a security guarantee.
                That is what can prevent another attack by Russia. RUS would have to attack these troops to advance which would trigger not just a war against UA (again) but also against whom those troops belong to.

                And yeah, UA needs more weapons.

                If Europe decides to return to ye old days there won’t just be a litte squabble at the edges - WW3 will happen! Don’t you realize that?

                Would you have your own country’s military deploy in Ukraine? Would you, personally, go help Ukrainians fight the Russian invaders? This ain’t age of empires. In the real world, nobody wants to go to war. This is why in a democracy, elected leaders might hesitate whereas dictators don’t really mind spending a few thousand lives to make a point.

                  EU also helped in Iraq.

                  France bombed Gaddafi and regulating deploys in Sahara for “peace keeping”

                  US has troops in Syria who engaged russians there killing some too.

                  Turkey shot down a few Russian jets in 2010s to tell Putin to get fucked.

Putin leader of strong big russian war machine, who by his own propaganda does claims to be able to rekt nato in it’s entirety, is not only threatened by the shame of not being capable of dealing with small poor ukraine and recreating the conditions of the oktober revolution but an actual invasion of a wildly superior force? Nuclear war! Nuclear war that will destroy all of europe including that of ukraine! But you don’t live here do you? Why would you care for hundreds of millions of lives here you american cunt!

            I know this is going to be a strange concept for you, an american cunt, but the eu does not want to become a colonialist power! Unlike you american fucks we don’t want to risk nuclear armageddon so that your collective minuscular cock seems ever little larger!

                    You know there is no shame in looking up what nukes are? I know you are an American!

                    Since their invention no war has ever been fought by two sides that have it!Why do you think why was the cold war fought by proxies and a continous dick measuring contest?

                    And when did you guys sent your troops in? I must have missed it! After all you do proclaim yourself the protector of the free world and you do burn inappropriate amounts of of your GDP on the army, plus Biden was pro-Ukraine no?
