I think the day I trust the Wall Street Journal to give me a fair and balanced assessment on geopolitical affairs will be the day I line up with the rest of the liberal homos to suck on Klaus Schwabs wart encrusted cock.

Not buying the line, sorry/not sorry. As was previously noted, this war could have been over long ago, except for NATO's intervention in the peace talks. Ukraine has been decimated as a result. The only reason they've survived this long is due to vast influx of capital from the US.

And the US is no longer paying up.

A better question would be "how long can the EU keep fighting this war".

As long as Putin wants. And there ain't a damn thing you or anyone can do about it, short of glassing the entire planet.

Guess you shouldn't have let NATO scuttle the peace deal Zelenskyy and Putin worked out in March of 2022, huh?

Or stood by and watched silently for thirty years as it welched on its agreement to halt its expansionalist agenda eastwards.

Reap what you sow.
