As things stand now, Russia is doomed to lose the war. If they were smart, they would have tried to negotiate a peace now, while the Ukrainians have something to gain from a negotiated settlement. But Putin is too stupid to accept defeat, so he would go on with the war until there is nothing...

Good riddance.

Trump’s endorsement is toxic in Europe now. Having Trump’s support is a sure way to lose the elections. After his hatred for Ukraine and Greenland threats, Europe is mostly anti-Trump. Add the war in Iran, and his support in Europe is low even in far-right circles.

I don’t think Trump understands the concepts of culture and civilization. Keep in mind that he is an uneducated brute who probably thinks that civilization means five stars hotels and golf courses, and maybe industrial capabilities. Anything that can’t be measured in billions of dollars is...

This sounds like the subject of a future Hollywood movie.

And who wins and who loses from high oil prices? Winners: Russia, USA, Canada Losers: Europe, China, Japan, South Korea The US created a mess, and as always, it is others who pay the price.

The US has dragged Europe into countless useless wars that created migration problems that affected Europe. But when a European country was attacked, the US quickly found excuses that it was not their war, that they had a big beautiful ocean separating them from Europe. When Europe needed their...

Trump is almost 80 years old, with signs of dementia and lack of sleep. Don’t expect strategy from him. He probably has trouble remembering how he got into this war in the first place.

What does one have to do with the other? The US support for Ukraine is already minimal.

I’d gladly pay more for gas to see Russia defeated. And in the last few days, Ukrainian attacks are doing huge damage to Russia’s export infrastructure in the Baltic sea.

Who cares about the gas price as long as Russia’s infrastructure burns? 🔥🔥🔥

TACO in action. But what matters for Trump is that his lies reduce the price of oil for a while, so in the end, his trick worked.

Trump is not alone. He is an old senile man. The US establishment will not let him do things they do not approve of. But he is a useful idiot who can be used to clean up some of the mess, and if something goes wrong, he can take the blame.

You live in a parallel universe if you think the US wants to attack its NATO ally Turkey. If Turkey becomes hostile to US interests, there are many other ways to put pressure on it, without breaking NATO and engaging in full scale war. The US has so much economic leverage that it doesn’t need...

The US is betraying Europe as always. No surprise here.

The EU needs to reform itself and get rid of the unanimity system. Decisions should require only a qualified majority (like at least 60% of countries representing at least 60% of EU population). The current system is broken. It is not meant for rapid decisionmaking required in times of war.

The good thing is that winter is over. There will be a few more cold months, but that can be easily handled mostly from reserves.

You can’t be a partner with Russia. You’re either a vassal (like Belarus), or an enemy (like most of the world). In their mindset, you either are their slave or their enemy. These brutes only respect strength.

The destruction of Russia is funded for two more years already, and Putin‘s fans still think Russia can outlast Europe in an attrition war. At this point, Europe can budget the war for two years in advance, and if necessary it can do the same forever, until Russia’s economy completely...

Yes, the war is very costly for Russia. These type of hits are more important than just their monetary value, as the jets take time to replace. But in the long term, Russia will lose the war when its economy will collapse.
