"I've been talking to a number of acquaintances in Russia. These are well-educated professionals who speak English fluently, many of whom have lived/worked in the US/Europe. Some are highly critical of Putin, and many were very much opposed to the SMO."

💊 Russian Red Pill 💊
Russia needs to dominate Europe if it is to survive and I personally hope they do. I despise Europe and would like to see them decimated. World War and suffering for hundreds of years appears to emanate from Europe. America was formed to escape European Tyrants.
Fuck Europe!!!!!!!!
Id not have a single American soldier or piece of equipment on that entire continent if I could have my way. Let them fight the Russians ALONE.
Honestly half of europe might side against nato at this point. The real damage to europe wasnt the invasion of ukraine, it was the demolition of the pipelines from russia they rely on. And the US did that, not russia.
So why should they piss off their aggressive, behemoth neighbor who has done them no quantifiable harm, to please another aggressive behemoth across the ocean, who is the reason they have no heat in winter?
I have no idea how much those pipelines cost, but surely in modernity they can be rebuilt to be even better and more efficient. However, that there was an attack they tried to pin on the other side should definitely set a lot of people against us.
The problem is they are miles underwater so it might require whole new pipelines to be laid rather than trying to repair a breach at that depth. Either way it's a major undertaking
Absolutely a huge setback, but something that was built once can be built again. The biggest key is ensuring that it doesn't get destroyed again, and that means some accountability.
