Some of the systems in western Europe are just awful, wasteful and full of politicking and insanity. Wales, for example, spends more on education than Denmark and produces results about the same as Romania. 2 generations ago, its state schools produced two science Nobel Laureates.

@@zbigniewp1810 There are still very good weapons produced in Europe. This war has shown that we actually produce very good mobile artillery, among others, the French Caesars.

Probably not. But still a pretty good fighter. And let us not forget the Swedish Grippen. Great fighter plane because it is so versatile, reliable, and cheap. Germany is still producing the very best European tanks - Leopard - much better than any Russian tank. They also have some of the best defense air systems in the market.

So, yes, you are right. As far as defense is concerned, we have been in a coma for the last 30 years. But people (governments) are coming out of that coma. For the time being, we only have to have better weapons than the Russians. In time, we may be on the top of the game worldwide.

[@henriikkak2091]

France understands one thing better than others. Some ambiguity in messaging is a good thing because it leaves our adversaries guessing. The absolute worst are loud declarations on what we will not do. Those don't deter Putin. They make planning the next escalation easier for him. For example, Russians knew that they could wheel North Koreans in because NATO powers said that they wouldn't respond by deploying troops. This is absurd if you put this in perspective. Self-deterrence in part of Ukraine's allies has led to two nuclear powers invading it!

There has for a long time been a somewhat loose association between those groups/formats, often called NB8. However, after Finlands & Swedens decision to join NATO, the consolidation amongst them seems to have gone into overdrive, in part due to shared geography ofcourse, but also because of very similar outlook in most topics, which makes it fairly easy for them to get to a shared standpoint ..🤔 Now, the impact of these nations often get somewhat overlooked, since they have relatively small populations, etc. However, if you add them togeather (ie as they might be considered when acting as a group), they constitute about 33 million, have a GDP of +2 trillion $, have considerable weapons manufacturing & reseach capabilities, etc.. Then you also have formats like JEF, & there might be a new format coming togeather to support Ukraine, basically consisting of JEF with the addition of Poland & Germany...

Gleeful Graham: South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said outright that the war in Ukraine is about money. Graham suggests Ukrainians' best interests and meaningful peace both rank low amongst his priorities. Meanwhile, war fatalities continue to mount, with the Wall Street Journal reporting in September that over a million people have died or been wounded in the Russia-Ukraine war since its inception. To hawks like Graham, such fatalities seem to be an acceptable price to pay in an apparent bid for Ukraine’s natural resources. Former Polish general Andrzejczak - Ukraine faces challenges with mobilization. A strong army is essential, but Russia is much larger. More than 8 million Ukrainians, including those who left earlier, are abroad. Many have integrated into countries like Poland, which is great for us culturally-we share values like family orientation and low crime rates. But here’s the problem: the longer the war drags on, the more likely it is that Ukrainians will stay abroad. Who will fight, and who will rebuild Ukraine then? I worry more about Ukraine as a state. And when I hear Western assessments that “Russia is weakening,” I remind everyone not to judge Russia through a Western lens. This isn’t just “Putin’s war”; it’s Russia’s war. The longer it lasts, the more motivated they become. The war has widespread support within Russian society it’s not just propaganda. Russians believe this is another “Great Patriotic War.” When Trump takes office, his focus will likely shift to China, which could pose challenges for Ukraine.

[@namur-iq6ih]

@@marymarlow3646 Troops on the frontline are fearing the worst - Kyiv’s manpower crisis has been palpable in Pokrovsk for weeks, soldiers around the eastern front told CNN, and Russia’s tactics are seeing persistent success. “The situation is very critical,” said East, the callsign of a commander of a drone unit with Ukraine’s 15th National Guard working around Pokrovsk. “We lack infantry to fight and hold out for some time while the drones do their work. That’s why we often see situations where the Russian forces uncontrollably penetrate vulnerable areas.” Troops in Pokrovsk told CNN of manpower shortages so acute they feared Russia could make a significant breakthrough and complained of having to use drones to strike advancing Russian units because they lacked infantry to confront them. One commander said Selydove, a key town outside of Pokrovsk liberated by Russia in October, was defended with only six Ukrainian positions, which he assessed meant about 60 troops were involved in the operation. They were quickly encircled, outnumbered and retreated with significant casualties. It is rare to hear Ukrainian troops disparage commanders and starkly assess the frontline to reporters, but multiple soldiers around Pokrovsk presented a stark assessment of the current Russian offensive and their own prospects in the area over the coming months. “I cannot say exactly how much time we have, if there is any time at all,” said Kashei, a callsign, a reconnaissance sniper from the 15th National Guard. “Now they are pushing their troops to the frontline as much as possible. And then at one point they will all go for an assault. They can go very far. In one day, let’s say. “The Russian forces is advancing because there are no people defending on the ground,” he continued. “Nobody wants to sit there. There is a very high chance that they will not come back.” The drone crew skip through their video library of the past weeks’ costly and chaotic withdrawals. There is the moment when three Ukrainian troops walk into a factory in Selydove a month earlier, advised it is under Ukrainian control, only for one of them to be shot down by Russians occupying the building. Recruitment brings its own issues. The defense of Selydove, one commander said, was bolstered by 300 fresh recruits, sent to the frontline directly and expected to undergo basic training in the trenches. Errors by command are increasing, several soldiers said, sharing an episode in which a unit of Ukrainian soldiers was attacked by drones on the frontline, after two Ukrainian commanders mistakenly failed to identify them. Mistakes are commonplace in the chaos and horror of a battlefield, yet this openness and candor is rare from troops who a year earlier would have spoken with fierce pride about Ukraine’s summer counteroffensive in Russia’s Kursk region. “I have no people. I’m f**king alone. I’m f**king tired,” said Kotia, a callsign, another reconnaissance sniper from the 15th National Guard. “I love my job, but we need other young people to love this job too. Our country is awake, but people in it are not. Guys are dying here. This is trash.” East, the drone commander, said he was assigned to the area in August. “During this time, we have never gone to the training grounds or replenished our personnel,” he said. The Russians “are constantly staffed, constantly trained, there are certain rotations, replenishment of personnel. We constantly hear about it from intercepts, that they have replacements and rotations.” The intensity of the Russian assault against Pokrovsk is felt in multiple directions. One Russian push heads to its south, around the smaller town of Kurakhove, where the remaining Ukrainian troops risk being cut off by a Russian “pincer” movement to the south and north. Other Russian assault units are pushing fast towards Pokrovsk itself, with infantry units, sometimes only a few Russians strong, probing into villages and looking for holes in Ukraine’s increasingly porous defenses. One commander told CNN that troops around Pokrovsk had been ordered to shoot unidentified persons on sight, in fear of Russian reconnaissance groups advancing. The brutality of the Russian assault also batters morale. A drone video circulating shows a small house on the edges of Petrivka, a village close to Pokrovsk, on November 13. The footage shows a local in an orange shirt, guiding advancing Russian troops to a basement where Ukrainian soldiers were hiding. “The situation in Chasiv Yar is stably severe. Unfortunately, there have been no improvements recently, and none are expected. There is constant shelling, constant buzzing. Sadly, very little remains of the city I know and remember,” Chaus said. He added that almost all of the multi-story residential buildings have been destroyed, and the private sector is in the same condition. “Talking about the city is painful. If only this would stop, but it continues - both the destruction and the fighting,” Chaus emphasized. The head of the MVA also noted that the city is under constant and massive bombardment - from airstrikes to mortar fire. Russian forces are using both artillery and rocket systems for their strikes.

Tbh, after 10 years of being able to vote, I kind of lean towards pan European nationalism. I truly am patriotic of EU and want it to be better, and part of it is us becoming an actual force, a player. EU clearly needs to reform its migration and military stances. Economy can be left to member States as diversity breeds innovation and competition. Coming from Baltics (Estonia), I'd love to see EU streamline its burocracy and become more efficient at what it actually does and is responsible for. Green energy is good it can play a crucial part at actually being strategically autonomous, but we gotta do something about our supply chains and production. Our population is naturally shrinking, I genuinely don't think that importing migrants is the solution, instead we should embrace technology to substitute for the drinking labour pool and create social safety nets capable if supporting workers affected the most. We are uniquely well positioned to implement things like universal basic income and / or education access. I reckon that we ought to embrace changes until the system finds a new equilibrium. Once baby boomers die off, our population pyramids will become more manageable. All in all, I reckon we can have a good future, and if we overcome initial threats from Russia, then we are set for sn OK century where one can be content if not happy.

You just gave your passphrase to the public in a KZbin chat? You're either running some kind of scam, or are simply too dumb to be doing anything at all with crypto. Please stop now.

A Trump u-turn could happen but the relationship with Putin and Trump is so much more than two guys that get along. Trump admires the way Putin does things, he admires how the Russian people see Putin and he admires how Putin has destroyed the ability for anyone to criticise him or oppose him. Trump has no kinship with a Democratic leader in a democratic nation so he has no connection to Zelensky or Ukraine. Trump sees Putin and Russia as a way of making a lot of "sweet deals" that benefit him personally and his agenda. Putin would really have cross Trump in a very specific way to make Trump 180 and Trump would have to actually listen and care about the consequences of the war to Ukraine and Europe and I really don't think he gives a damn.

UK would better rejoin the EU. It's a no-brainer. Acces to a much bigger market and also good for the EU. Win/win...

[@VTh-f5x]

The biggest problem with leaving was that UK doesn't meet the criteria for getting back in. 😂😂

[@ipodman1910]

EU better stops undermining UK at every step or more exits from EUSSR will happen…

[@stevec7923]

You're right, but this is not politically possible. What's possible might be an arrangement such as that with Norway or Switzerland.

So european are happy? sense when? also were do you get that survey?

[@stevec7923]

It's widely reported, and not debunked. Europeans have prioritized lifestyle over the US tendency to let companies do whatever they want. They suffer some in GDP growth, but benefit in livability.

[@nolan485]

Elliot B. starts the interview in an attempt to portray a calm and confident Europe "Eminence Front" but like Moby, in extreme ways it quickly falls apart. He confirmed what I believe about Europe and its strategy: Without American largese and goodwill, the EU model is built upon unstable ground politically, militarily and economically. It depends even to a certain amount of Russian 'goodwill' or at least trade and restraint. Forget the "importance of Europe's Unified Market". The USA unified market is a bigger, and relevantly, more nimble politically and economically. It can pivot more rapidly than even further EU centralization or even a "United States of Europe" could ever match.

Most efected contry will be USA , people Are you Made? Tarife will pay US citizens!!! Abviosly You do not know nothing about politics

[@stevec7923]

Are you mad? Tariffs will be a tax on US consumers. They will also result in retaliatory tariffs. This will rapidly collapse global trade, and destroy those who depend on exporting goods to the rest of the world. A global recession will follow. Everybody in the world will suffer, but Americans more than others.

[@frank-ko6de]

@stevec7923 why suffer when you choose not to receive those goods due to high tariffs? Wouldn't that force you to get an alternative source for those same goods, such as perhaps manufacturing your own things such as when when did in the 1980s, when we actually made well made goods? Perhaps, the benefit of high tariffs will the increase in American industry, we have already started the infrastructure, even under Biden administration, such as with the Inflation reduction. Act and the CHIPS Act, where several trillion USD have been invested. Don't forget the 2.5 trillion allocated for the infrastructure act, to improve and enhance our infrastructure. That can only benefit industry. It's just readapting and if the world does not want to play along, we will play amongst ourselves. We literally did that for twenty years between the two world wars. Dealing with the world, primarily Europeans, is tiring and insufferable. That is why we are now focused on Asia Pacific and telling the Europeans to defend their own house, just like every one else is doing. That should not be hard, even for the Europeans. That will be the reality and they have to adapt to it.

[@stevec7923]

@@frank-ko6de Most of these goods cannot be made in the US for a comparably cheap price. Consumers will have to pay more for those imports, or pay much more for US-made items. Meanwhile, nations will place matching retaliatory tariffs. The net result will be a global fall in trade all around, with a global recession. The US will be damaged more than any other nation.

[@frank-ko6de]

@stevec7923 The us has already started near shoring since the pandemic, with a lot companies now being based in Mexico, our second biggest trading partner after Canada, whom we do 300 billion USD annually while we do 369 billion USD with Canada. This is compared to 200 billion USD with EU while 176 billion USD with China. The USA realized the fallacy of exported labor during the pandemic, when it became very hard to access goods that were compromised by corrupt labor practices abroad. Hence, the de risking away from compromised places and of course the near shoring of logistics, which has been as much more advantageous than long shoring, where the shipping of goods can be so much costly and even much more compromised in the case of an emergency like a pandemic or even armed conflict. Your believe in this harming Americans is wishful thinking at best and even hopefully naive and ridiculously deluded at worst. The country is built to be self sufficient, we have our own energy, as we are the highest producer of energy both in petroleum , more so than the Saudis and the highest in gas, more so than Russians, to the point that we have become the net biggest exporter of both commodities, while becoming the second biggest consumer, after only the Chinese. That's combined with being the biggest user of alternative energy while being in the forefront of future energy, such as nuclear fusion, which is said to be way more compact and efficient than the old system of nuclear fission, where the atom is split to make energy. I feel so sorry for you and your deludedness, we built up the rest of the world after the second World war, with countries like Germany, The UK, and of course Japan, with us investment such as the Marshall plan. We also built up China, first with Nixon opening up the country to American corporations and then Clinton, inviting them into the WTO. We are now pulling away and it's been even more accelerated under President Biden, with the Build Back Better, and legislation such as the Infrastructure Bill and the Inflation Reduction Act. But, please continue to believe in your ridiculous deluded nonsense. We don't need anyone, we know how to insulate ourselves from the nonsense that's you ridiculous deluded nonsense.

Europe would be truly good under 2 things 1. Disbanding globalist organisations 2. Following the path of a traditional Conservative Christian nation like Poland. Even tho I am Pro Russia I love Poles cuz of this nature. A europe under poland would be quite beneficial unless they become super liberal

[@Adam_Malcher]

U cant be pro russia and love Poles at the same. They and common logic will tell you that.

[@God_emperor_Doom]

@Adam_Malcher I know Russia as well as Germany committed horrific crimes in Poland. But I love Poles cuz they are trads. I hate the west and their degenerate culture. If somehow Poland withdraws from NATO and just goes in the right direction then I will support Poland even more than Russia as they are pure white 99.99 % Christian. I just want a homogeneous trad society that's it🙌🏻

Nobody but fascists want your Christo-Nationalism. And Poland has very liberal laws on LGBQT.....so bad luck dude

[@ipodman1910]

Not necessarily. There are some good Russians, highly intelligent who understand the russian empire is non feasible and brings nothing but pain and suffering. They are pro russian and may love Polish model which is the best Slavic functioning approach towards life…
