    Violates Minsk 1

    Violates Minsk 2

    Refuses to sign Istanbul

    “Wow, what a surprising and unprovoked invasion!”

    Almost as if the Western puppeteers wanted to destroy an entire generation of Ukrainian men to weaken Russia, no matter the cost to Ukraine

    Give me Venezuela and I take Cuba, Colombia and Greenland next. Nothing else I promise, I’m stealing the Nobel peace pride.

      That’s why there is considerable effort being poured into sowing dissent within the EU and in the end splitting it up into smaller parts that can be handled one by one instead of all at once.

      3 things

      1. Without the US, Europe has significant capability holes(satellite, logistics, ground launched missiles, nukes)

      2. Multiple smaller armies might be, in theory, an order of magnitude “stronger” than the Russian military but because of inefficiencies, overlap capabilities and lack of unified command structure and organizing, they are effectively a circus that cant do much.

      3. Not all Europe will react the same and with the same urgency. A crisis(like russian soldiers occupying a small Baltic town) by definition will create huge cracks within Europe.

        between the UK and France, and then Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine point 1 is fairly well covered. Of course the US has more, but it’s not a total wipeout without them.

      Give me Greenland and I won’t attack anyone else except Cuba! And Mexico! And Columbia! And Canada! Obviously we’re not done with Venezuela yet… then there’s always Iran…

    Next decade: “Give me Taiwan and I won’t attack anyone else” Also “Give me Gaza and I won’t attack anyone else”.
