Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

No

The EU will continue funding Ukraine’s war, allowing thousands of people to die on both sides of the war. And they’ll slowly ease on Russian restrictions if they feel like they need it for economic growth.

The EU could force Russia’s hand and end this war but it doesn’t seem like they want to

Would you rather we give in to terrorists? Or start World War 3?

Russia is the bully that could end this conflict any time they want.

See my other comment.

Russia can’t even conquer Ukraine after 3 years. They are only a bully to the little guys.

Europe could easily demolish Russia and their old and tired military. I’m not saying that europe should invade Russia. Ofc not. But this Putin bluff is long gone. And ofc it’s Russia that can end this anytime they want but until they are forced to they won’t. Which bully do you know that returned the lunch money that they stole out of what? Compassion? Just because it’s wrong?

And you are talking about WW3 but the EU is planning to triple their defence budget in preparation for war, so you tell me who wants WW3

still Russia. Europe is preparing for continued Russian aggression.

Russia doesn’t want WW3

They’d get proper fucked. I mean we all would but they’d have no chance.

They play that card because it’s the only card they have and because Europe is happy with the status quo

Trump was trying to fleece Ukraine for parts and Europe did fuck all

Russia instigates WW3 by invading its neighbor without cause, and then roping in Iran and NK to facilitate said illegal invasion.

Essentially, they are using MAD as an aggressive doctrine, and that cannot be allowed to stand. Everything Russia does makes WW3 MORE likely.
