Europe needs to federate, rearm, grow a pair, and stop allowing the Yanks, Chinese and Russians to dictate their policies. Europe is the centre of the modern world. We forged it and exported it over the past 500 years. Time to stand up proud again, stop infighting, and show the world what the culture that invented modernity is capable of. Europa Victor.

[@stephenhill545]

You're right, but Europeans are not psychologically prepared for this, and are trying their best to pretend it isn't happening, even pretending everything will return to normal afterwards.

[@hemlock40]

I'm a yank living in Europe permanently, and I agree. However, Europe is facing some tough issues. Germany has been the economic engine of Europe and it's sputtering. France isn't filling that void largely because of its domestic turn to the right wingers. The UK is the economic sick man of the European coalition after Brexit and 14 years of abysmal mismanagement by the Tories. Labor doesn't have a lot to work with. European leadership may grow from Poland, Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands.

The World War 1 analogy is very flawed. The Germans knowing that they could not fight much longer they made a massive massive push to try and get as much Territory as possible when that push culminated they started get pushed back and pushed back and pushed back and eventually they had to sue for peace and Russia in that war collapsed and surrendered.. it is awkward tactics terrible Generals bad equipment and if there's anything that defines Ukraine it's a counterpunch that comes out of nowhere

[@hymns4ever197]

Let's not forget that the US entered the war toward the end, which provided the manpower and materiel to push back the Germans. Russia does not appear to have any such force in reserve.

[@southboundaustral]

WW2 demonstrated to what degree a dismembered Germany could fight on. Russia likewise. You have been told for the last two years Russia will collapse any day now. No it won't. China needs Russia as its buffer against the West. China supplied 50%+ of Vietnam's workforce during that war. China is now keeping Russia afloat, and India - pffft- is providing finance from purchasing black market/secondary market Russian oil. Look at Russian trade with the 'stans. Kazakhstan in particular has tripled its trade with Russia from electronics to capital equipment. That's the West selling out Ukraine. Russia will face a long, slow, drawn out deterioration but it will not collapse. Simply bc at the point of collapse it will take a negotiated settlement and the West will break Zelensky's arm if he doesn't take it. So you can see Russia will keep going right to the end but without collapse since just before that point - peace.

[@Roar1987]

Yeah Russia has been in terrible shape, with Putin on the brink of death, since the start of the war according to Western media, yet some how they keep on fighting and capturing territory. Weird.

[@rafaelsanz3441]

Incredibly well structured.

[@almacnaughton3688]

Pootin cannot bully Trump and if he tries Trump will unleash the restrictions on weapons to Ukraine while arming Ukraine to the teeth. If Europe were to take the lead in the war against Pootin and show Trump they don't need him to win, that would be best. Trump loves winning and if it looked like he was going to miss out on getting a win against Pootin, Trump would jump back into helping Ukraine full speed. He wants to be the one who brings peace to Ukraine.

[@hemlock40]

Many of these guest analysts describe Trump as though he's a student of history and has a deep understanding of modern geopolitics. Trump is very simple, petty, all about himself. He cares not a wit about Ukraine, or his own voters. He xares about money and power. The question is does he understand his and the US capability to ending Russia's ability to wage war for two or three generations?

I have been hearing this for 3 YEARS. Yet, Russia keeps taking ground, all be-it a very high casualty rates. But that's how Russia wins. They grind until they achieve what they want. In the process they are grinding down the Ukrainian man power, infrastructure and equipment. More is needed to help Ukraine

[@operator9858]

the globalists will say literally anything to cover up their failure. russia isnt losing large amounts of troops. the globalists are losing large amounts of face. just look at the ammunition situation alone.

[@marios.2848]

The "taking ground" is the strategy. It just seems that they go further. But under heavy losses. When their capacity is exhausted, they will be running into the opposite direction!

@ russia had 10x the ammo 2 years ago and the gap has only grown since then and theres no place to hide on the flat open steppes. theres no way ukraine is getting 3 to 1 with almost nothing but toy drones especially when russia has the same drones and the full range of kit to support it.

[@CarlStarkes-u9y]

European Countries need to decide if they will fly the white flag, or if they will display theirs with pride. This is not a first for Europe, it will not be the last. Being prepared and not being afraid to show it is going to bring you more support that if your behavior is telling your neighbor that you can not be trusted when the times get tough. It is time to show the what the "U" stands for in the European Union, in the United Nations,,, it stands for yoU, if yoU stand with it.

The fact that the Europeans are "confused" is a very sad indictment of their weakness and stupidity. It is self evidently obvious that the war in Ukraine has existential significance for Europe. They should be giving Ukraine all the help, including boots on the ground, that they can. The fact that they are not doing so shows that they have already lost the war and are actually just colonies of Russia.

[@Roger-d5o]

Yes, it's puzzling. Europe already has a NATO alliance, and they are used to training together and cooperating. Yet their politicians seem to be incapable of acting.

[@CarlStarkes-u9y]

Agreed with rewild6134, Europe needs to decide what they are going to do regardless of what the United States does. Europe needs to understand that nothing that any other country does in this world is necessarily permanent, and relying on others who can change their minds in a minute, is not a good way to protect yourself. Being prepared for the worst only means that you are not going to be surprised and you are more likely to achieve your goals if you don't expect another to do it for you.

"The origin of life is the most difficult problem that faces evolutionary biology and, arguably, biology in general. Indeed, the problem is so hard and the current state of the art seems so frustrating that some researchers prefer to dismiss the entire issue as being outside the scientific domain altogether, on the grounds that unique events are not conducive to scientific study. *However, this position appears deeply unsatisfactory, especially because, although life certainly evolved only once on this planet (see Chapter 11), we have no idea just how unique or otherwise it is in our universe as a whole. If one does accept the origin of life as a scientific issue, then there seems to be no denying that it is a problem of overwhelming importance before which all other questions in biology are relatively mundane"*

Yesterday (08.02.2025), Ukraine was able to inflict significant losses on the Russians south of Pokrovsk and recapture a lot of territory.

In addition, the North Koreans have been back at the front in the south of Kursk Oblast since yesterday, but there too an entire battalion of Russians and North Koreans was wiped out yesterday mostly by FPV-Drones.
