    Now is the time for Ukraine to just ignore the US

    I’m not sure if Europe is willing enough to pick up the slack. Not sucking Don’s dick might mean having to concede to Russia.

      I’m not sure there’s any situation where trying to appeal to Trump won’t end in conceding to Russia. For God’s sake, this admin just ordered all cyber operations in relation to Russia to cease. There is no low they won’t stoop to. Any time spent trying to make Trump see the light is time wasted where in the end Trump will try to make you give up everything.

      I’m honestly surprised Trump didn’t try to have Zelensky arrested and deported to Russia.

        Have you seen his security detail? Absolute giants, and those are the visible ones, lol. All have been through 3 years of brutal war. A scene where they attempt to arrest him would not have been pretty.

      Europe doesn’t have a choice. They are stuck between two rogue nations, the US and Russia…

      I am concerned as well about Europe finding the will to work together, even now when the necessity couldn’t be more obvious. However certainly there is a future where, if Europe can pull together, they can defeat Russia.

      Russia isn’t so effective because they’re powerful, it’s because they’re willing to cross the line and do anything to take advantage of the comfort of their neighbors. If the EU wakes up to this, surely their combined might could comfortably contain Russia.

        Okay, but this time let’s not invade in winter and make sure we bring supplies.
