      Who? The governments? The people? I remember an ellection in france. Macron stopped military support for ukraine for months prior to the ellection cause ~30-40% were about to vote for Le Pen (2023?) And she was using the “we are spending too much in a special military operation that isnt of our concern” card. As soon as he was reellected (because, as i understand, the left bend itself for the “greater good”… or the “anything but le pen” good) military packages started flowing again.

      (Correct me if im wrong, it has been a lpng time and… well… im not french)

      I dont say that you are wrong though, i think europe has the potential to push russians back to the urals if they wanted it, but politics are complex and there are too many countries in which opinion on ukraine war is, to some extent, divided.

        It’s not that complex. Where there’s a will there’s a way. Funny that there is a will and possibility to help Israhell slaughter Palestinians (genocide still ongoing) and now Lebanese (looking at you, UK).

      We could do more than we are, but when the nuclear sabre rattling inevitably comes, we realize we have more to lose than Russia does.

      They could if he isn’t a lunatic that would rather have the world destroyed than lose. Whether or not that’s the case, I don’t know.
