One thing that gets repeatedly overlooked within this current treacherous impasse in the US legislature is that the only time Article 5 of NATO was ever invoked was after 9/11. This led to the deaths of many BrIrish (and other troops) in Afghanistan essentially helping defend America after it had come under attack - like Western Europe itself now faces.So, one of the richest men in the world confirms that America has withdrawn its support for Ukraine. Our country is a shit-show at the moment but how can anybody look to the US and think they’re the leaders of the West?
Trump and his traitorous Republicans should be ashamed.
American strategic scholars believe that Russia is not the main threat. In order to concentrate efforts on addressing the main threat, it is necessary to stop investing in the Ukrainian battlefield. If necessary, even alliance with Russia can be considered. Although European people have a strong emotional hostility towards Russia, as long as the United States turns on its propaganda machine, the attention of European people will soon shift to other matters, such as somewhere in Asia.One thing that gets repeatedly overlooked within this current treacherous impasse in the US legislature is that the only time Article 5 of NATO was ever invoked was after 9/11.

The sooner we wake up as a nation, and a continent, to the fact that America is disappearing down a rabbit hole from where it may never return, and to adjust accordingly, the better - because we simply cannot rely upon them like we once could.
When Putin invaded two years ago part of his calculation was that the west would not have the stomach or the resolve for the fight. I expect he assumed that lack of fortitude would come from Western Europe, not the United States, but here were are and we need to accept it. And quickly.
Then they are cunts.American strategic scholars believe that Russia is not the main threat.
Not only that, but they don't understand how alliances work.Then they are cunts.
I wouldn't watch Tucker Carlson without serious financial reward. The guy is a Putin stooge and is clearly being paid to be so.Watch Tucker Carlson's video about Russia. Every praise he gives to Russia can be found in better examples in China. But will Tucker Carlson come to China? Of course not, because China is the next target. The easing of relations with Russia is to better deal with China. Americans believe that China is the only country that can challenge American dominance. All these things sound very boring, cold and nauseating. However, this is the grand strategy, the oldest game, a struggle between one country and another. It has almost nothing to do with democracy, freedom, and values.
Don't worry that the United States will abandon Ukraine, and don't worry that your emotions will be hurt because of it, because you will soon find yourself in a new game, where you will meet a new enemy. Nothing will be different.
Depressing analogy but Ukraine will fight on with what hardware they haveDay 733 Review:https://www.dailykos.com/story/2024...de-confirmed-advances-near-Bakhmut-and-Krynky
Bottom Line: Russian artillery advantage is 7:1 - until that changes the Ukraine isn't going to stand any chance of freezing the lines - let alone win.
“We need to accept it and quickly” by increasing the amount of European military support and strengthen our UK forces.One thing that gets repeatedly overlooked within this current treacherous impasse in the US legislature is that the only time Article 5 of NATO was ever invoked was after 9/11.
