    Hello Russian troll: Ukraine is a part of Europe.

    We all remember the impressive maneuver Russia did with the mile long column that was on their way to “conquer” Kiev. Holy crap. The world laughed at the Russian “efficiency” and the world will never forget.

    You had one job, 2 years and over 400000 Russians later and you still haven’t been able to do what you set out to do. It doesn’t matter if you manage to do it in the coming 6 months: Russia is still going to be remembered by how incompetent they are.

    The only thing Putin did succeed with was getting neighbors joining NATO and something EU never succeeded with: unite Europe.

    But at least it is good that you agree that Russia attacked Ukraine.

      No one is arguing that Ukraine isn’t part of Europe. If that’s what you understand the point to be, you’re a moron. Invading a single country in Europe and squatting on the border is not invading an entire continent. Stop your fear mongering.

      Russia never set out to capture all of Ukraine and hold it. That’s what the West said their mission was so that they could then report that Russia failed. Russia’s objectives are being met in Ukraine, specifically not allowing NATO to amass forces on their most vulnerable border.

      Russia is not going to invade Kiev and take the whole country in 6 months because that’s not their goal. It’s essentially an indefensible position if they do it.

      You think that Europe is united? Italy and Germany are dealing with the rise of fascist parties to power. European industry is in shambles. England, the historical birthplace of modern steel industry, can no longer produce steel. Germany is deindustrializing. France’s African neocolonies are throwing them out.

      Meanwhile the Western sanctions regime has failed completely, Russia has stronger alliances than ever, weapons production in the West has been shown to be completely incapable of meeting objectives while Russia’s production and weapons partners have demonstrated their clear superiority.

      You can keep making up objectives and then claiming Russia failed to meet those made up objectives, but that doesn’t change the fact that Russia has no designs on invading Europe, has demonstrated their resolve and their resilience, and exposed the West as a paper tiger.
