It's part of their history, what European countries did to them. Then prior to that going back to the Mongolian Invasion. It's an amazing history.

I wasn't as I guess I'm so used to watching him. I suspect those saying Europe are in an abusive relationship or demuir etc may have missed a trick ?

Potentially, or Ukr being the main exporter and being friends to those who support them. Plus the knocking of the string man tyrant image will cause some leaders and CEOs a good deal of concern.

I also wonder if Macron and Starmer may be aware of how Zalynski was approaching the meeting. Trump doesn't get his deal, other countries move towards Europe?

Sadly it's a perception. If Russia can be defeated, so can the other large super powers . The idea of their might would no longer be valid.

Trump was weirder than usual and certainly didn't try his usual dominance nonsense. Starmer corrected Trump like Macron and a side from the enough comment, Trump was really...odd and compliant (mentally? )

Leadership are too often either from outside medical practice or tied to a set ideology. Not enough people are forcing them into the public spotlight to be criticised and dealt with . As individuals they must have some very dubious moral frameworks ?

And then there's this, out today: ep 4 of Stalked. The top series in the UK. This week we name who we think is Hannah's stalker. The BBC has been pretty incredible. I'm not sure any other UK news org would do this in the face of the pushback we've had

Given Russia's catastrophic failures militarily in Ukraine (thanks to their highly skilled people) , the rest of Europe would make a terrible mess of the remainder.
