Nobody wants peace, that's why this poo poo will keep going until one side cracks. Ukrainians should be thinking about how they can get out of this mess because they're the ones suffering the most, but a lot of the decisions aren't up to them anymore.

From a Russian perspective, Trump was assumed to be a better partner, and largely still was. I think part of that was both that Trump had removed troops from German as well as the fact that Biden had upped arms shipments above Trump was doing in 2021. US-Russian relations were still quite poor under Trump but I would say across society that Russian people viewed Trump more positively including the government. As far as the German defense budget, I think it is very fair to say that the Germans were not prepared for a fight and haven't for a very long time. It is also unclear exactly how much of that special military budget is going to happen as it doesn't really seem to be a clear game plan so far for procurement beyond Germany will get the F-35 at some point. It wasn't just Germany but there was plenty of talk across Europe about rearmament and a lot of that doesn't seem like it has materialized outside out of Poland and general F-35 purchases.

Blitz of 404 Error posted:You pay taxes to a US Government that helped pay his way through school, who's the real monsters here Blitz of 404 Error posted:I've said this a million times but I'll say it again, Americans would have crucified all incumbents currently holding office if the US allowed Iraq to trade in euros setting precedent for other oil producing countries doing the same, devaluing the dollar massively, driving up the cost of living for Americans (food, petrol, everything). The war was unpopular for many people with some good reasons (massive murder of civilians is one), but the public anger created by it was nothing compared to how angry absolutely everyone would be when their grocery shopping basket tripled in price. I don't think Americans realise how unbelievably wealthy the US is and how high the general quality of life is for Americans (even the poorest) because of these wars. Plus Saddam Hussein was invading his neighbours and ignoring that would destroy the integrity of the norm of state borders, since other countries would also just start invading each other since there are no consequences. England and France made the mistake of not acting when Germany started invading it's neighbours, it would have been a mistake for the US too, and the war would still have happened only Iraq's army would have been much more massive and wealthy and experienced, making the US lose far more soldiers than it did acting sooner. i liked your earlier work

What I still don’t get about y’all tankies in this thread is like have you never seen a movie? It’s like in LOTR you saw the urukhai and the bad guy Southrons and said “being evil is cool” It’s like someone watching Harry Potter and thinking, “Death eaters rule I wanna be a dark lord. Pure tankie Slytherin brains. It’s crazy because this is basically like the Avengers in real life, you watch a real life Thandos trying to snap Ukraine in half and you think “awesome”. Time to grow up.

I don't think the Russian government cared about what the US president thought as much as what European presidents/chancellors/leaders thought. It just turned out that it doesn't matter what Europeans think.

Regarde Aduck posted:giving up means letting Ukraine genocide the DPR and LPR Yeah, and probably ethnic cleansing in Crimea is they left as well. It isn't a good ending. Majorian posted:The average Russian, perhaps. I don't think that the Russian government saw much difference in terms of policy between Clinton, GWB, Obama, and Trump, and they weren't wrong in that assessment. I think they Trump has a positive as he was much more isolationist than his predecessors while relations weren't warm. Remember, under Clinton, Pristina happened, under GWB Georgia happened, and under Obama Euromadian occurred; in contrast Trump was relatively benign.

Tafferling posted:I don't think it will happen. The prospect of EU integration makes this extremely unlikely. The EU is compliant with the genocide of the ethnic Russians in that region. It simply would not be reported on. Or they would be reported as 'traitors'. The west has already celebrated the arrest and disappearing of teachers who dared teach Russian.

Tafferling posted:I don't think it will happen. The prospect of EU integration makes this extremely unlikely. Have you missed all the times Ukraine has said that's their intention, and all the articles in the Western media advocating for it happening? All the articles talking about how killing civilians is cool and good because they were the bad kind of civilians? Genuinely, have you missed them, have you not believed the repeatedly stated intentions of Ukraine, do you believe they will change their minds at the last second, or that a NATO force will swoop in to stop them? Which one of these?
