European leaders have begun discreet preparations for a stark new reality in Ukraine, where mounting battlefield losses and territorial concessions paint an increasingly grim picture. While publicly maintaining optimism, behind closed doors, EU officials are scrambling to develop autonomous support mechanisms as US commitment wavers.
The underlying crisis runs deeper than military setbacks. Europe faces a potential fiscal catastrophe, with their economic salvation ironically pinned on hoped-for Russian reparations - a prospect growing dimmer as Ukraine's position weakens. The UK, heavily invested in Ukraine's funding, continues aggressive lobbying for increased US military engagement, despite deteriorating battlefield conditions.
President Trump's return is already reshaping European policy, with several nations quietly adjusting their strategic posture. As Ukraine's counter-offensive stalls and casualties mount, the economic consequences for Europe loom larger, threatening a cascade of fiscal challenges that could reshape the continent's economic landscape.
Why have they just begun? If they just weren’t listening to their own propaganda, they would have known for a while that they should have been making proper preparations.
Problem is: they can't. Economically or technologically they are in deep trouble
What’s your source for that? How can you trust information from any side in this conflict?
To be honest, your posts always strike me as quite populist but don’t mind me, I can just ignore them.
Could you elaborate on what these autonomous support mechanisms exactly entail? As in these European countries are gonna cut funding for Ukraine war efforts?
The future is going to be interesting.
Powers are going to shift now that biden cant have his strings pulled anymore.
