    The enemies of Europe do not like the new leaders of Europe, I suppose we have not chosen so badly in the elections the other day

      She seemed to be a pretty reasonable politician to me. I think she’ll do fine. If Russia wants to improve their relations with the EU, then they might want to stop acting like an adversary.

        Well, I don’t have exactly the same opinion, another day we can discuss things like Pfizergate or why a Ukrainian is worth more to this commission than a Palestinian. But it is clear that it is much better that whatever the Kremlin considers acceptable, there is no debate on that

          No idea what Kaja Kallas has to do with Pfizergate to be completely honest…

          And Palestine & Israel are outside of Europe and both sides are a fucking mess that no one wants to deal with. I also find this whole Palestine argument idiotic and hypocritical when there’s been war in the middle East for decades but suddenly everyone claims to care, now that Israel is involved.

            I am not worried about the war in the Middle East, I am worried about the genocide in the Middle East, and I have been for decades, but if ethnic cleansing accelerates and yet my rulers applaud the genocidaires, they increase my protests, call me a hypocrite if you want, but it seems logical to me, if not it seems like a silly argument, a bit Nazi to me. Killing children indiscriminately has those things

              Do you truly not see a difference between people arguing on the internet and an ideology that led to the wholesale slaughter of over 6 million civilians in extermination camps and another 9 to 14 million in Europe?

              Calling someone a Nazi like that just dilutes the meaning of the term and shows how little you actually understand of the world.

                He is telling me that being against the extermination of a people completely is being in favor of a terrorist group. If you think that does not fall within what it means to be a Nazi, you should review your history books

                Or yes, of course, my argument is stupid but saying that yours is a Nazi is the limit, that is, being against the mass murder of children is being an apolygist for Hamas. You seem eager to use logic.

                Have a good day and don’t be too Nazi

      If anything everyone is now undeniably aware that any agreement with Russia is not even worth the paper it is written on.

      I’m irritated that there was ever any trust in Russian politics. You are way too optimistic after the USSR ended.

        I couldn’t read the artìcle, because a the cyrillic pop up (possibly gdpr). The picture in the thumbnail is a man, so I assumed that was the man.

    Disdain for Russia and maligning their influence is completely reasonable in these circumstances.

        As I understand the two of you: “hybrid” has a "conventional " component, and “springtime” supposedly refers to the fact that seizing Russia in winter is hard.

        If my reading of this is correct, please stop your trains of thought. You guys sound way too trigger-happy. It helps absolutely no one to turn the Russia-Ukraine war into an EU-Russia war. War just kills a ton of people, and for what, in that case?

        Sensibly enough, everyone in the EU is trying to avoid getting involved in the “conventional warfare” bit and containing things to Ukraine. I am also fairly sure that right now, nobody whosoever is dumb enough to try to seize Russia.

          Didn’t think I needed to add an /s to comments like this, but I guess I will just start doing that from now on.

            Sorry for misinterpreting you. But then, you responded to a comment that was apparently serious. ¯\(ツ)

              1. Sorry for the snippy response. I have a lot going on right now, and I attributed malice where there was none.

              2. I didn’t think that other guy was serious 🤦‍♂️
