    The EU has every right to defend itself against acts of aggression by a hostile neighbor…just like Palestinians do. Until countries like Israel, the US and Russia start acting like civilized nations…no one around them is safe.

      But EU is foremost an invader. We’ve seen it with Libya, Yugoslavia, Iraq and Afghanistan, and more covertly in post-colonies in Africa by countries such as France or Belgium

        The French and the Belgians have certainly been dickheads but claiming that “the EU is foremost an invader” is the most Russian psyop bootlicker nonsense I’ve heard today. Tell me who the Poles have invaded lately? The Estonians? The Slovakians? Consider that Serbia who has sworn to never ever ever join NATO is eager to join the EU.

          Coincidental that you’d choose three countries that belonged to the peaceful Socialist eastern block, quite revealing about the nature of communism, don’t you think?

        Lol! The whataboutism is off the charts. Anything to deflect from Russia’s current actions…right?

        Why aren’t you also advocating for Russia to disarm, if you think the EU should?

          I do advocate for Russia to disarm given The EU and USA doing it.

          Not about whataboutism, I just don’t want my taxes to go to killing children in some underdeveloped country as they inevitably will if EU rearms.

            Unless you can stop Russia first, disarming the EU will only get more children killed.
