America, thanks to the Communist Republicans, just reaffirms that America is and hasn’t been the leader of the free world.

    Let’s hope the EU comes up and backs Ukraine more. At this point, the only thing the U.S. can be trusted with is being a Russian muppet for Putin.

      Do they have any other option? If Ukraine falls they’re next.

        Even in such a dire situation (forget Ukraine for a second, I say this as a Ukrainian), they are going to be extremely slow and reactive.

        If they had any brains (or balls), the EU leaders would have gone on full war footing (both in terms of industrial production and military preparedness) three years ago. But as we can see they just wanted to kick the can down the road and avoid difficult decisions.

        Look at how Russia is struggling with Ukraine, especially considering their losses. They wouldn‘t stand a chance against the EU.
