Taking the lead in containing Russia in Europe on the US’ behalf is the prerequisite for rebuilding “Fortress Europe” and thus becoming the continent’s hegemon without firing a shot.
I'm seriously considering limiting comments to paid subscribers to prevent trolls, who've become increasingly sophisticated in their passive-aggressive insults, from toxifying the conversation.
I don't have the time, nor always the energy, to closely monitor my comments even after reimposing my policy of instantly banning trolls and explaining afterwards (which is back in effect).
The only way that I'll definitely keep the comments open all summer at least is if there are at minimum five more paid subscribers to recompense me for the abuse that I occasionally receive.
I sincerely enjoy responding to comments here, but it's so draining nowadays since I'm going on long walks midday in the Moscow heat only to return to this nonsense on a semi-regular basis.
I can't keep it up if everything remains the same so something has to go, and I'm not cutting out my midday walks nor reducing my workflow, but likely restricting comments for paid subscribers.
Germans hate Russia. During WWII they wanted both Poland & Ukraine. Germany was defeated and their wish never allowed. SLAVS join in together . Your enemies are in west Europe your savior is RUSSIA
I am German and I don't hate Russia, never have. None of my friends hate Russia and we are all baby boomers. You could say the generation of my parents hate Russia. They were subject to the Goebbles propaganda. So, I don't blame them. However, when we talk about politicians, Rheinmetal and the bankers they want us to hate Russia because it is good business. Please differentiate between Germans and Nazis, Thank you.
Germany, and a number of other countries, needs to read the UN Charter very carefully as regards former Axis states and what is permitted to deal with revanchism. What was thought to be obsolete can be revived.

i know russia was betrayed more than betrayed others (at least at high level, because otherwise is not much more respectful), but some people simply need to be forgiven, because the number of good ones is closing to zero and you will live in a world of your own making. one such example is mrs. merkel. some would say - but she admitted she negotiated in bad faith...MY QUESTION IS - HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ADMITTED THAT? HOW MANY TIMES RUSSIA HERSELF ADMITTED THAT? and in fact, she didn't even have to admit it, everybody knew this war will be forced on europe to weaken it. but besides this, she is the best person for this position, after all criteria, and brings merits very few have, like long term vision. build relations with eu tailored for the russian people's needs, not for the leningrad mafia (not mr. putin) and some ethnic minorities; if you think russia is alone, you definitely didn't see the russians themselves, and they need all the support they can get. not to mention mrs. merkel is at the right distance - not too close to be influenced, but not too far to not count either, from four very important persons for europe - rutte, van leyen, merz and tusk; and, with some luck, from the next french president too, hollande, so whatever is decided will be widely accepted. and more importantly, trump respects her too.
I am beginning to believe that Ukraine could find a lasting peace without American security guarantees. If Ukraine has the capability to strike Moscow and inflict real damage then Putin must respect the new borders agreed to in a ceasefire with Zelensky.
Ukraine already has lasting security guarantees, which is a provable fact as I showed below citing several official state sources from different governments, what it's demanding is legal obligations to deploy troops in its support if hostilities resume after peace finally arrives:
Trump just bestowed an Article 5 equivalent security guaranty upon Qatar after Israel targeted Hamas leadership inside Doha…so Trump knows how to do it and he hasn’t done it with Ukraine.
And the petrodollar was created by Nixon cutting a security agreement with Saudi Arabia in return for selling their oil in dollars. So that deal helped bring about the defeat of the Soviet Union as the Oil Glut of the 1980s degraded the Soviet Union’s export revenue stream.
It's not relevant. If Ukraine can send something on Moscow, Russia can eradicate all Ukraine, included underground bunkers for VIP. It's not a guarantee of security,it's a guarantee of total destruction.

None of these countries ever will be great powers. They're simply jockeying for American favor.

This time, it could end very, very, very more bad for Germany.

Russia could have done that day 1. And America could have done the same thing in Iraq and Afghanistan and Iran.
It was not the purpose and your post is once more irrelevant.
So, how high Germany can climb on the escalation ladder?
