Many people here in Europe don't realize that one main target of this war is Europe. It's an energy war, heritage foundation has as main goal the destruction of the EU and share it's remains than with Russia. Even if there are some disagreements with China, it's the only superpower currently not being open hostile to Europe. So maybe Europe reconsiders it's clinging to the bully USA.

@
oh no
@
This seems to be the new reality: euphemising contradictions in terms such as having a ``memorandum of understanding`` in place while we bombard each other. Great language to mesmerise the population.
@
The interval between munitions being applied to a "target" is traditionally referred to as a "reload", so no end to a disagreement, AKA "war".
