> who argue we're spending too much on military aid to Ukraine. The sooner Russia loses the sooner Europe can go back to buying energy from them.

The EU already said Russia is game over for commerce in the near future, even if they went back home today we wouldn't trade with them before years

Nothing guarantees sending more weapons will make the conflict shorter, it's called escalation, and if Russia plays the same game it came be a very very long game. Everyone knows when a war starts, nobody knows how long it'll last, we might very well be marching towards ww3 and cheering about it

Why? A few cold days, a few europeans with pitchforks, a few politicans removed, and trade restarts.

That's why the nordstream was destroyed... the only thing standing between freezing germans and cheap gas is (and no "was") a few politicians, and politicians can be replaced one way or another.


Glad nord stream was destroyed. Germany has subsidised its industry with blood oil far too long despite warnings it should do otherwise. Lets see how well it performs now that it has to play by the same rules as everyone else. I feel sorry for the germans that will suffer due to their corrupt politicians, they truly dont deserve that.



Then it would be the end of the EU, if all we stand for is money and cheap gas let's nuke it all already


I mean its not new, is it? Supporting the occupation in Palestine, turning a blind eye to what Russia did and is doing in Syria, Afghanistan, and many other things.

Its nothing new for the EU to ignore human tragedies for economic benefit, and when the push comes to shove, citizens prioritize their country over others, just like how they should.


Not just turning a blind eye, but actually helping the americans in wars in syria, afghanistan, libya etc.


Exactly.

That's the reason why the entire east is calling the west hypocrites, well because they are.
