It’s not a phobia if it’s a real threat, you bag of smashed assholes.
The enemies of Europe do not like the new leaders of Europe, I suppose we have not chosen so badly in the elections the other day
- She seemed to be a pretty reasonable politician to me. I think she'll do fine. If Russia wants to improve their relations with the EU, then they might want to stop acting like an adversary.
  
  Well, I don't have exactly the same opinion, another day we can discuss things like Pfizergate or why a Ukrainian is worth more to this commission than a Palestinian. But it is clear that it is much better that whatever the Kremlin considers acceptable, there is no debate on that
Disdain for Russia and maligning their influence is completely reasonable in these circumstances.
What do they expect? There is no trust in Russian politics anymore. 🤦🏻‍♂️
- I'm irritated that there was ever any trust in Russian politics. You are way too optimistic after the USSR ended.
- If anything everyone is now undeniably aware that any agreement with Russia is not even worth the paper it is written on.
That's all the confirmation I need to know that this is the man for the job.
- Woman for the job.
  
  I couldn't read the artìcle, because a the cyrillic pop up (possibly gdpr). The picture in the thumbnail is a man, so I assumed that was the man.
Europe should muster whatever strength she has to wage an earnest hybrid war against russia.
- Just start the war in the springtime.
  
  As I understand the two of you: "hybrid" has a "conventional " component, and "springtime" supposedly refers to the fact that seizing Russia in winter is hard.
  
  If my reading of this is correct, please stop your trains of thought. You guys sound way too trigger-happy. It helps absolutely no one to turn the Russia-Ukraine war into an EU-Russia war. War just kills a ton of people, and for what, in that case?
  
  Sensibly enough, everyone in the EU is trying to avoid getting involved in the "conventional warfare" bit and containing things to Ukraine. I am also fairly sure that right now, nobody whosoever is dumb enough to try to seize Russia.
