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...

Compilation of videos from the Ryazan refinery. Enjoy!

“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...

PPP doesn’t help when importing things. You pay in nominal dollars, not in dollars adjusted for PPP.

That’s the big problem. You think this is not your war and it doesn’t matter to you, but the reality is that the outcome of this war will have grave consequences for the future of Europe. For Europeans, this is not a random war happening on a differnt continent between regional actors. This is...

Yes, the big problem is that people have zero understanding of economics and numbers, and fall very easily for populist slogans from politicians. In the grand scheme of things, helping Ukraine is not very expensive, and it is spending that doesn’t cause inflation. On the other hand, what they...

I think that in countries like Hungary, Austria or Switzerland, they could be the majority. And not necessary because they love Russia, but because they like Putin and they hate the EU, NATO and the US (Except for Trump, which they adore). Even in my country, which borders Ukraine and is in...

I’m takking about spending 0.3% of GDP, and you suggest giving 50% of my wage? Are you out of your mind? Giving 0.3% of GDP doesn’t affect you at all, it is not the same as giving 50% of your earnings. Even credit card fees when you pay with your Visa are higher than 0.3%. I’m advocating for a...

That’s exactly where my problem is with the West. It’s insanity that a nonsense like Covid was considered an existential threat, while a war with Russia is seen as a non-issue. If you can spend one trillion dollars for a coronavirus, you should have no problem spending 5 trillion dollars for a...

You made my point. The cost of paying the Ukrainian army like humans (not enslaving them by force) would be around 80 billion per year. The GDP of the US plus the EU is 50 trillion. $80 billion per year is only 0.16% of that. If we add $70 billion per year in equipment, weapons and ammunition...

No, that is what the IDF is doing. What Hamas did is a similar attack but at a much smaller and shorter scale, because of its limited capabilities. That attack is what started the current conflict and led to the current massacre. Hamas leaders knew very well that Israel will retaliate after...

No, I am not supporting genocide, and I am not supporting Israel in this war. But I am also not supporting Hamas, who is the party that started this current brutal phase of the war. If Hamas did’t commit that stupid and useless attack, you wouldn’t have the current genocide. So they are equally...
