Topic: The Battle over East vs West (Russia vs Europe) continues in Ukraine

[Libertas]

Don't take it to hard...there will be no talks worth a damn until one party reaches a sufficient breaking point...sure, that point could also prelude a potential world-ending escalation...but whatever, it is what it is and you can't do squat about it anyway.  NOBODY is listening!

In other news, I had to laugh my arse off at this...

NATO and European Union leaders are literally pressuring member states to sacrifice their own national defense for the sake of Ukraine, part of the ongoing saga of desperation which has led some Western nations to deplete domestic arms and ammo stockpiles.

It makes perfect sense if your scheme is to throw more at a losing effort and weaken states you would like to make weaker.

This one too...


The next round of EU sanctions against Russia over the invasion of Ukraine should include measures to address the shadow fleet of tankers helping Russia move its oil and a ban on EU imports of Russian LNG, Sweden’s foreign minister said on Monday.

And at least this one has the advantage of actually impacting Russia, which tells me it may fail to be enacted...especially since the hate-organic-energy FJB regime and others will be hamstrung in filling the LNG gap.

And this lunatic...

Well, I think he is the West's version of the Belarus lunatic Lukashenko...

In a perverse way the lunatic Duda is right, why should only one lunatic on one side have nukes staged? 

We cannot allow a lunatic gap!

So some of the Ukr aid is a 'loan'?
LMAO.
Maybe Ukr farm land is collateral.

I heard that getting the money through was more important than keeping the war going past the election.

Also, there are reports that many weapons to Ukr were sent without being paid for. So the aid bill is needed to
make the books match reality so maybe newer weapons will not be sent to match the new money.

US is trying to goad EU into seizing RU funds?

What is it that brings out the  vileness in these Baltics? One them is deporting pensioners that cannot pass a language test. One was a 65 year old blind woman.

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Estonia, Laanemets, threatened to close Orthodox monasteries that refuse to come under the jurisdiction of the Estonian Orthodox Church

The same minister recently proposed that the Estonian parliament recognize the Moscow Patriarchate as a terrorist organization.

Freedom of conscience and religion in the 'Garden of Eden' has turned into a pumpkin, following the loss of other rights and freedoms.
