    Unless I’m missing something, the EU+ BRICS “has all the cards.”

          If you think what Trump says about Greenland is bad, you should hear what Russia keeps saying about the baltics and Poland.

          Russia is not being particularly secretive in their plans for a war with the EU.

            Russia will get their ass handed to them if they try taking on NATO, even without the US involved. The Ukraine invasion has made it very clear how degraded their capabilities are, and even more, how primitive their tactics are. And Russia’s fleet in the Baltic can’t do shit because of the Swedes and Finns joining NATO, and because Ukraine sunk most of the fleet using drones. Building warships is a long lead-time activity.

            And as for Poland, Germany will not tolerate that. And the Poles are a far more powerful state than Ukraine, and hate the Russians even more, if that’s even possible.

              That’s still no reason for us to give them money. We can’t negotiate with the BRICS as BRICS because every cent we give to Russia is a cent that Russia will use to to buy things to fire at us.

              They can’t win a war, but the way their regime is set they need to fight a war. And while they can’t win they can ruin many lives in losing.

            Ah American exceptionalism. Because P2025 would never, ever do such a thing.

            Djt is a puppet, dancing to the strings pulled by his puppet masters. He’s irrelevant, but as the curtain surrounding the wizards.
