Also, I'd greatly appreciate that you stop insinuating. That's not right, nor helpful. Even Zelensky calls for European independence [1]. Finally, I did respond to your question about Budapest Memorandum [2].

For point [2] sorry. I was not aware it was part of the Budapest Memorandum... And I still am SURPRISED

I insinuatED as a consequence, that it was not an answer.
Sorry, I don't feel polemical tonight.

I have no position about European independence
I am not expert at geopolitics and military, so...

Russia is responsible for the invasion. But we share the continent, and Russia rivals the US in nuclear weapons, so we need to learn to live with them. If we take a side, rather than being independent and ensuring we have meaningful choices, then we will have limited agency and influence.

I think that trying to respect International Order, a minimum, is not "taking side"

Is this International Order unjust? or simply blocked sometimes that can explain a lot I suppose... I think it is probable...

But in the case of a dictator waging a planned war... I don't call that "TO TAKE SIDE"

I think if Putin has been declared #WarCriminal ...

Then... it's difficult to use the word "to take side". I'm blocked a bit on this point of view.

I hope it is constructive enough, and you do not see only word fight. Not my intent. I was really pondering about.. what it means "to take side"

Because between #climatechange and #putin fossil fuel interest... for example... you may say it's unrelated (although there is Putin in the sentence)...

Well... I don't take side ?
I believe #climatechange
I don't believe most of what #putin says...

Of course it raises other geopolitics questions

I appreciate your points and I agree that international order must be respected. Also, I don't pretend to be an expert and have all answers. Clearly, this is a challenging topic. Also, I agree that international order means striving for neutrality and objectivity, not taking sides.
