Yes. As scholars of oligarchy know, the dismantling of civil society--certainly democracies--creates chaos and institutional erosion. Oligarch's seize the moment of greed, smash and grab (Putinism). They imagine new power--to carve up society's wealth for themselves: Techno-Fascism! RESIST!
We should not kid ourselves, an alliance of the rest of the Western nations has the power to hurt us. The U.S. stepped in to save Europe from the Nazis in 1941; maybe Europe will go to bat to save the world in the 2020s.
I'm just an observer, but I agree with you it's Europe's turn to go to bat. Get its act together and forge a coalition with other western nations outside Europe. I'm thinking Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea.
The US will be busy sorting out Trumps mess, I think. 🙁
I cannot believe I’m living this. I mean, we’ve certainly been the bad guys before, usually through selfishness, magic thinking, and sheer gormlessness, but we are now THE. BAD. GUYS. ON PURPOSE. 🫠
Trump made it very clear when he first stated he had spoken to Putin and the deals that were waiting to be made in Russia by US. It’s all about the money that Trump and his flunkies to make!!
I agree, but it is also just another distraction. UN resolutions are symbolic. They don't actually accomplish anything. I'm paying more attention to Trump's comments about Fort Knox.

Gaza Riviera?
Guess my guesstimate.
