What will we do when Russia attacks the EU and Trump inevitably demands we hand over all our natural resources?

Trump's NATO is nothing more than racketeering.

As the anniversary of #Russia's imperialist aggression against #Ukraine looms, I argue that #Europe can either intervene now and defeat Russia, or face a much more dangerous Russia in the future, and the prospect of a devastating war in the #eu

A brilliant article highlighting #Trump's lies about #Ukraine and #Europe, a must-read!

@je5perl Yeah, I don't think I can keep going for another 3 years with this -_-

Our current geopolitical situation suddenly makes a lot more sense when you stop considering the US as a country which has just accidentally elected a fascist, and instead consider it as a country where tech oligarchs and Russia have collaborated to successfully game the elections, and are now dismantling checks and balances.

The US is now well on the way to becoming an oligarchic puppet state of Russia... #USpol

@amszmidt What worries me more is we are going to wait until the war is over, and russia has regained its strength and is ready to attack us again, rather than fight and defeat them now.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"Europe will face consequences for its lawlessness" - Sergey Lavrov.

There is no point in deluding ourselves, #Russia is coming for us next. We must enter the war in #Ukraine now and comprehensively defeat them while we still can.

I started 2024 in a bomb shelter near Kyiv, where I drafted my thoughts about our collective failure to support #Ukraine. In the article, I asserted we were already at war with #Russia, and that a direct attack by Russia on the #EU was inevitable.

I ended the article by floating the idea that our support had come too little too late, and that we may need to intervene militarily in Ukraine.⬇️

Europe now has two choices: we can let Trump make a botched deal, allow Russia to effectively annex Ukrainian territory, and prepare for a war we may lose in 2 - 5 years, or we can enter the war in #Ukraine, and comprehensively defeat #Russia now.

Dear Elon,

We have strong regulation in the #EU, and built 2744 km of #highspeedrail in 10 years. Our network is now 8556 km long. In the same period, the US built 0 km of High-Speed Rail.

Perhaps it's not about regulation.

Danish intelligence: Russia could be ready for major war against Europe in five years

Or we could intervene now, decimate Russia, Free Ukraine in its entirety, and probably collapse Putin's regime, effectively eliminating Russia as a threat for the foreseeable future.

Using #Mastodon during #FOSDEM feels like what it would be like if the fediverse went mainstream: everyone asks you for your mastodon account, there is a constant avalanche of interesting posts, it feels so alive here rn!

Planning to leave #X but not sure where to go? #Blusky #Threads and #Mastodon are all options, but what if you could pick any one of these platforms and reach people on all the others? Now you can! Just follow the instructions on this site I made!

https://jmaris.me/socialmedia/

This is possible thanks to Threads & Mastodon being part of the fediverse, an interconnected network of social media sites, & by bridgy fed, a tool that connects Blusky to the #fediverse! ( Just in time for #FOSDEM)

@maris True of threads, for Bluesky we can reach bluesky if we opt in, but to reply to and follow bluesky users they have to opt in.

Also nice to meet another Maris on the fediverse :P

What Europe needs to do in the next 10 years:
🔫 Create a single #EUarmy and foreign policy by majority
⚡️ A real common energy policy, which, like the CAP, has the goal of energy abundance, backed by #nuclear, #renewables, and #EnergyStorage tech
