    yes, i know that’s the accepted wisdom but i’m not seeing it. and if that were a real fear, then europe has just played itself, because russia is only going to be more likely to attack now that europe has shown itself to be a paper tiger… maybe it would’ve been better to say an absolute no to the idea of ukraine joining nato in 2008 or so. maybe there would still be a ukraine.

      Tough to know. Nobody seems to have an idea how Russia’s hostilities could be solved

          Which attack was that? Couldn’t pinpoint by searching. Anyway, instead of hypothetical dwelling, time machines are not yet functional so the solutions need to be in the now and the future.

            the EU leadership doesnt seem to be looking for that kind of solution either, they’re just doubling down on what doesnt seem to be working

              Yeah could be. Nobody with the capability to stop doesn’t seem to have the will

              Most sane hexbear user, has to point to possible offences more than 60 years ago to justify present russian imperialism, oppression and colonialism.

                Also it’s quite a stretch to destroy Ukraine and its people because of the USA or Turkey
