First, it's pretty hilarious that you think wagner is the only effective branch of Russian military. Second, you're even wrong there because what's actually happening is that wagner is now integrated directly into the military. You really make a sport out of being confidently wrong. LOL

Lack of education is literally the causation of people not being able to find Ukraine on a map, you'd understand that if UK education wasn't shit. 😂

Literally, every government is fundamentally authoritarian because it holds the monopoly on violence by virtue of controlling the police and military forces of the country. It's a nonsensical terms that illiterate people use because they think it sounds scary.

Anybody with a couple of brain cells to bang together understands that this allowed Putin to further consolidate power and purge any dissidents. So, yes, Putin is obviously in a stronger position now than he was previously.

They had no option but to withdraw. The gamble was that the military would support them and that didn't happen. At that point there really weren't any options left.

All you've done is repeat nonsense that's not actually based in reality nor have your provided a single credible source to support this nonsense. Everybody can see this and that's why you're getting downvoted. Nobody is actually buying your bullshit here.

Indeed!

You seem to be under the delusion that I care about what you think of me.

From another angle Germany twisted the US’ arm until they did what we wanted them to do. Atlanticism in Germany is right-wing, the SPD certainly has its faults but worshipping the US is not one of them.

The top EU think tank very clearly disagrees with you here. It's also pretty clear that Germany ended up being the big loser here given that it's now in a recession. So, I guess if that's what Germany wanted then it certainly did a brilliant job twisting US' arm to destroy German industry. Given that this has been the stated goal of US for years now, I don't think much twisting required here.

Against who? Aliens?

Europe wouldn't have anyone to defend itself against if it didn't keep creating enemies for itself. It was entirely possible to dismantle NATO after USSR collapsed and integrate Russia into Europe as an equal. Instead, Europe chose to have an antagonistic relationship with Russia, and now Europe finds itself in a protection racket situation.

Finally, the idea that Europe could fight US or Russia in an all out war is completely delusional. Europe lacks the industrial base to do this kind of warfare, and it also lacks access to energy. Meanwhile, if we're talking about nukes both US and Russia have literally an order of magnitude more nukes than all of Europe combined.

Not sure if you're aware, but US education system hasn't been getting better in the past 8 years.
