England does not call itself Great Britain. Many people are confused about the names, so here is a more detailed explanation.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (more shortly referred to as UK) is the name of the kingdom. It is comprised of England, Wales, Scotland and...
People in the Balkans and in Eastern Europe tend to always complain about their lives, jobs, goverments, countries, etc. It is a cultural thing. We could be the wealthiest people in the world, but we would still complain about how bad we have it. We always look at the half empty part of the...
Your assessments about countries being “sh!t” just because their GDP per capita is low is extremely childish and lacks any depth. A country is not defined only by the current state of its economy. There is a lot more than that.
Also, your belief that a country with low GDP/capita is some sort...
You say “no disrespect“ and “the country is a complete and utter sh*t” in the same sentence, and yet you want to be taken seriously?
You are the definition of an arrogant and ignorant Westerner who knows nothing about the world outside his close proximity, yet thinks he is a know-it-all...
Let’s make it 5%, or at least 4%. There is a lot of catching up to do.
This is pretty dangerous, because it would make the US an immediate enemy. Europe needs to take on its enemies one at a time. The first priority is to defeat Russia, while decoupling from the US. Only after achieving full...
This is simply not true. Ukraine can continue to fight at the current rate of attrition for a very long time, as long as it receives military and economic support from Europe.
Also, the balance of power is slowly titlting in favor of Ukraine as the war progresses, so it would be follish to stop...
Wow, you don’t seem to learn anything from history.
Since when can you negotiate a lasting peace with Russia and since when can you protect peace by signing a paper?
How can a signed paper “100% prevent any conflict on European soil from Russia in the future”?
Signed agreements are toilet...
Under Trump, he would definitely not side with the Baltics. He would say some stupid things like “it’s not our war”, ”they provoked Putin”, “Kallas is a warmonger”, etc., and he would stay neutral while blaming the Baltics for not doing Putin’s wishes.
For Trump, there is no difference between...
After all the developments since Trump got elected, do you still think NATO means anything? Are you that naïve?
Trump would side with Putin if he goes against the Baltics, just like he is siding with Putin against Ukraine. NATO is dead. Europe should simply expel the US form NATO and form their...
What Trump doesn’t understand is that without Zelensky and Europe, the negotiations are meaningless. You can’t negotiate a ceasefire or a peace without one of the combatants. Ukraine will not abide by any decision made without them.
And the good thing is that today Trump and the US showed the...
Unfortunatelly Trump will destroy Ukraine and save Putin.
But in the long term, there will be something good out of his presidency. He will put the US on a new path that leads to ruin and international isolation, and the global hegemony of the US will come to an end.
He will damage the US in...
This would be great. Finally a significant amount of money is being discussed at European level. The EU needs to treat its defense much more serious than it did Covid, and should be willing to spend more on defense than what it did in combating the pandemic.
If Europe becomes serious with...
Because of his moronic ways, he may end up losing his strongest ally (Europe), which could find in China a natural ally against the common threat from the US and Russia.
China + EU vs US + Russia would be pretty evenly matched,
China and Europe are the centers of power of the old world, while...
Trump can’t broker a peace deal without Zelensky, and Zelensky doesn’t seem to be interested in a negotiation without European involvment.
Trump can do a clown deal with Putin, but without Ukraine and Europe on board the deal is meaningless and the war will grind on,
Since Trump already...
In the long term, the EU will probably change its “values” and will abandon the current flawed policies of bringing in undocumented migrants from Africa and forcing gay marriage on member countries. The EU will reform and change, and the mentioned countries will be happy to join.
This negotiation process will most likely fail before it even starts. If no European country will be at the negotiattion table, it means the negotiation will not be serious and will not achieve anything.
So the most likely outcome is that the war will continue to grind on.
I am European, and I visit my home country every year. I know very well what is going on in Europe, but unlike you, I also understand the geopolitical situation and the long term implications of this war.
It has everything to do with them. The war started becaue Ukraine wanted to join the EU...
Ukraine is in Eastern Europe, so of course it has a lot to do with Europe, since it is a European country.
Ukraine was on a path to also become a part of the EU in the future, so it would have joined Europe politically as well, not only geographically.
Those Europeans who don’t care about...
“I think he’s destroying Russia” means Trump no longer sees Putin as a winner. And Trump doesn’t like losers, so he will not want to be associated with one.
Trump had high esteem for Putin because he considerd him a winner, a strong leader. But after the failure to take Kyiv and the disastrous...
