They have invaded Ukraine, a country that is not in NATO nor in the EU, this article is talking about a war with all the European member states of NATO. I think my wording was clear.

And considering rearmament, do you know what the security dilemma is, and what that means for the security of everyone in Europe?

Given that they have already designated all Palestinians as being terrorist this feels like the legal preparation for the next phase, maybe even the final phase…

My point isn’t who is right or wrong, my point is that this war was preventable. A different security arrangement, for example a neutral Ukraine could have prevented the country from being destroyed. This was not a fringe opinion, many international relations experts and politicians have stated this, yet somehow knowing all this the US pursued. It’s almost as if there is a group of Russia hawks within most administrations that actively seek to escalate conflicts with Russia.

And if you think the US supports Ukraine altruistically you’re delusional, especially after what they are doing in Gaza. (Or Iraq for that matter).

Merkel literally said that adding Ukraine to Nato would cause war, and here we are. Is Merkel a „Tankie“?

The US fucked us so bad. They started this entire shit show by persisting on expanding Nato after the Iraq war, even though Merkel and Sarkozy both said that it would lead to war. Putin stated publicly that Nato expansion would be interpreted as an existential threat, and still the US pushed. They spend billions on pro US propaganda via USAid and the NED (just look up Red lines not to cross Zelenskiy, which is basically an open thread from the US to Ukraine not to sign a peace deal or there would be „civil unrest“).

And even during the peace talks in Istanbul, they convinced (or coerced) Ukraine not to sign it „hey we’ll have your back you can win this war, trust us, we have never cynically abandoned proxies before“. And now they let the Europeans pay for it and the Ukrainians die for it.

Yes, Russias attack on Ukraine was illegal, but the war was also preventable. And I have a hard time to believe that the Finlandization of Ukraine would have been worse than the complete destruction of it. Especially for all the man that have been killed or maimed for a preventable and doomed war from the beginning.

Would the Palestinian genocide be happening without US support?

To what extent is this different than what the US currently does?

This just reads like a guy that was frustrated by the fall of the Soviet Union and Americas following hegemony, and said: what if we did all that.

Especially the tactic of destabilizing rivals. For example: how sincere can Americas concern for a Muslim minority in China be, when they have directly caused the death of millions in all their illegal Middle-East adventures of the past decades.
