That is the only way, to tell Ukraine that it still has real allies, that as much as the USA withdraws, we will put in. Any other option is to be a whore and pay for the night.
I'm sorry, but it's obvious Zelenskyy does not give a flying fuck about Ukraine. All he cares about is planting those sweet NATO bases right at Russia's door, just like they agreed decades ago not to do.
He is using his country as a killing field for the US to gain advantage over Russia. Not that Russia is an innocent lamb obviously either.
Just... please read about the origins of this conflict and do not for a second buy into the 'Zelenskyy champion of anti-imperialism and democracy' rhetoric the EU loves to use. This is a lot more complex.
So I've been trying to make authentic Pelmeni, but I keep finding conflicting recipes about the ratio or use of ground pork and beef to use and also whether to use dill, do you have a good recipe?
Of course, Zelenskyy is an evil ruler who hates his people, and that justifies a violation of his sovereignty and the annexation of their territories, because ... well because ... I don't know something that blames Brussels bureaucrats, neither is that you strive a lot in the narrative
the more money they put in ukraine, the less people have spent in their territory, the more likely it will be for far-right, pro-russian politicians to get elected. putin is something of an evil genius.
You see, weapons do not grow on trees. Instead, you need to allocate resources, to either construct them yourself, or purchase them from other people who do. This is usually done with money.
it sounds like they don't believe that they have a choice:
"European officials believe Trump is likely to agree to withdraw U.S. troops from the Baltics and perhaps further west, leaving the EU vulnerable to a Russian army that NATO governments warn is preparing for a larger conflict beyond Ukraine," the newspaper reported.
The EU leaders in Brussels are crazy! It'll be a self-fulfilling prophecy if they keep being belligerent towards Russia. The EU is a middle power at best. Russia doesn't need any more territory, nor does it want to occupy land in the eastern Baltic's. It's fearmongering for the EU to manufacture consent.
