I know you meant opton #2, but the funny thing is that what you wrote is actually the truth. Any sensible Russian would choose option 1 rather than the continuation of a ruinous war that would end with Russians living like North Koreans. If this war continues for a few more years, the 90s will...

Actually it is the best use of taxmoney. The main task of a government is defence, as this is something that the private sector can’t provide. The most rational way to spend taxmoney is for defence, and helping Ukraine destroy Russia’s military is the cheapest way Germany can invest in its defense.

Russia had good relations with the EU before the invasion, but Putin destroyed it all when he started the war against Macron’s pledges not to do it. The EU wanted to build good relations with Russia, but Putin saw this as a weakness, and he thought the EU will allow him to take Ukraine. He was...

I think Europe’s biggest mistake is focusing on defense (which is very expensive and ineffective) instead of focusing on offense (which is cheaper and more effective). All those interceptor missiles you mentioned are extremely high tech and expensive, and they are produced in low quantities. On...

If the French will join the war (which right now is still a very unlikely possibility), it will probably be in a way that the losses they sustain will be minimal. It’s not like the French will send people in the trenches or storming units. However, the French could support the Ukrainians with...

No, the prime instigator of this war is Russia, and it is not benefiting from it. Russia is losing thousands of young men, has had a huge outflow of migration of skilled labor and its economy is in shambles. The instigator is not doing well at all. The US’s “hand” in these conflicts is...

Conscripts are basically treated like slaves. They are forced to work for their country against their will, and they don’t even get the right to vote. But you will hear people talk about the male privilege and how bad women have it. At least women ae not forced into slavery for a good part of...

The so called far-right has risen too much in the polls in France, so Macron needs to do something to reassert control and to show strength. France is the most powerful European country from a military perspective, and the second most powerful country in NATO, so it is natural for France to...

The US also has the advantage of being the world’s biggest producer of oil, with an abundance of cheap natural gas as well, so from the perspective of energy independence, the US is in a privileged position. As for the political system, the two-party systen in the US is superior to the...

I think that the best solution for Ukraine right now would be if a few European countries would decide to send troop in Ukraine, but not to the frontline to fight Russia, but at the borders with Belarus and Transnistria. That would allow Ukraine to unblock the troops currently guarding the...

Ukraine has lost more men than the 31k said by Zelensky, but 500k is way over the top. The number is obviously pretty high, and the injured add up to the killed, so the losses are surely significant, but nowhere near 500k. That may possibly be true. That could explain why they need more men...

The Ukrainian military has not yet answered Zelensky’s question about the 700,000 mobilized people that haven’t participated in combat. It is hard to have a mobilization when the military has 1 million personnel of which only 300 thousand have participated in combat. Why do they need civilians...

This is the result of the stupidity of the Trumpist Party (former Republican party or GOP). By withholding US aid and the delivery of artillery shells from US stockpiles, Ukraine is starved of ammunition and it loses much more expensive equipment it previously received from the US. In the end...

They are littering the road with their junk 🤣

And Sweden is now officially in NATO! https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/hungary-set-ratify-swedens-nato-accession-clearing-last-hurdle-2024-02-26/

There is already an arrest warrant at the Hague for the person who started this war. His name is Vladimir Putin, also known as Putler. He is an old short and bald men with inferiority complex who tries to looks tough to compensate for his short height.

That map shows the hit deep inside Russian territory, at 220 km from the frontline. It’s interesting if there is confirmation that this is where the plane was downed, and if it was indeed Ukrainian air defence, instead of friendly fire.

Ukraine will be armed with F-16s. That’s a given. It will be up to Medvedev to raise the stakes and start a nuclear war. We are waiting for it, but as usual, we will be disappointed. The dog that barks doesn’t bite. That’s Medvedev.

It’s much easier to raise soldiers when you are armed to the teeth with modern weapons and your kill ratio is maybe 30-1, compared to when you have weak weapons and tour kill ratio is 1-30… For Palestinians to choose fighting is like signing a death warrant, with very little hope to even cause...

I know Turkish series are extremely popular in Romania.
