In what sense are we letting Putin do whatever he wants? It was supposed to be a three-day war, but they’ve been stuck in Donbas for four years. I don’t know how much longer this will go on, but as long as there are Ukrainians resisting the invasion of a fascist state, I think it’s right to support their fight

Putin has refused to strike deals even with European leaders; he hasn’t just been taking Trump for a ride. If we stopped supplying weapons to the Ukrainians, they would be conquered in no time, but that would be an occupation, not peace.
To negotiate, you must first prevent Russia from doing whatever it wants in Ukraine; otherwise, the only valid agreement will be Ukraine’s annexation by Russia.
Well, looking at the polls, almost every country is at risk; the right is gaining ground everywhere. Today it’s five countries, but tomorrow there could very well be more. I don’t think kicking them out is the best solution (not least because, as an Italian, I’d prefer it if you didn’t leave us to our fate)
Russia is a nuclear power; you can’t wage open war against them, because who knows how they might react if cornered. I don’t know about you, but I don’t trust the fascists running Russia at all. Negotiations are the only way forward, but right now it’s Putin himself who doesn’t want to negotiate; all attempts to organize a ceasefire have fallen through because of Russia. Arming the working class so they can defend themselves, as happened with the Italian and French partisans when they had to drive out the fascist, seems to me the most sensible thing to do.
Well, that's not really true; the people who support the Russian invasion of Ukraine are in the minority on lemmy and reddit
The fact that Germany has attracted people from other EU countries in the past does not mean it will be able to do so forever.
The problem of underpaid labor can be solved by increasing oversight of businesses and punishing employers who exploit these people, because the crime is exploitation, not accepting appalling working conditions because one has no other choice.
In Italy, there are many Indians who own their own businesses, such as electronics stores or restaurants—to name the most common ones. It seems strange to me that in Germany they are only employees and not business owners.
There’s a demographic crisis in every EU country. There’s a shortage of people across Europe. So Germany can’t just attract other EU citizens and drain the other member states of their population.

That reminds me of the scene in the simpsons where the lawyer imagines a world without lawyers
However, it has a better healthcare system than the United States
That's not true; they trade freely with Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. (which has bases in the Pacific), and I think they trade with other countries without any problems as well. Their chips are shipped all over the world.
Okay, great, let us know if you need a hand dismantling U.S. bases in Europe
