Nato allows to say “fuck it”, because Nato article 5 only requires some support.

But EU article 42 requires support by all means.

However, because of the implication, nothing military will happen.

Question remains: would such an act be enough motivation for Congress to impeach Trump?

That must have been accounted for since the situation was the same during the time of the SU. Finland was neutral, but the SU would have learned from Belgium and France.

I am always this gullible.

Good argument. Is it strategically the same to defend? My impression is that the border to the Baltics is much smaller and without looking it up, could it be that historically, armies didn’t take that route for some reasons?

In any case, the additional length of the border could be the problem.

Good thing that only Congress can declare war

The part didn’t make sense to me for another reason: When there are 25% tariffs, should the other currencies devalue 25% to compensate?

But then, everything but the tariffed goods are much cheaper.

Would you be interested in posting the question to AskLemmy? Otherwise I would post it.

Yes, I know that it’s not socially advantagious to have these arguments. The good thing about lemmy is that it is nevertheless possible to have them.

I only know of one reason for imperial conquest: that there is gas at the Krim and Ukraine would threaten the Russian monopoly on energy supply for Europe.

To me, that is not motivation enough for the war.

Und doch, obwohl er anscheinend gegen ihre Interessen regiert, hat Trump gewonnen. Entweder haben die Milliardäre keinen Einfluss, waren falsch informiert oder eben Trump macht, was sie wollen.

Which strategic advantage lies in conquering Ukraine? Russia doesn’t need land. The future center of civilisation lies in Eastasia. Why waste resources in the west?

Conquering Kyiv for nostalgic reasons is stupid. I don’t think that Putin thinks like that.

That’s very interesting. I didn’t know this text, just a smilar one.

This doesn’t convince me that Putin is a history fanatic. For sure, there is some myth building, and Russia is not good at it. But it seems to be a tool to support the war, and not the other way round.

Why has Putin waited so long? Russia is not using new weapons. They could have conquered Ukraine more easily twenty years ago.

This would require to accept that Putin is stupid. I don’t see that.

Europe doesn’t have to push.

Trump is doing the tariffs to stop the Dollar from being world currency according to Yanis Varoufakis

It’s all probably true. Yet:

When capitalism has commodified everything, then all ingrediences for a revolution can be bought.

Sell the revolution.

How much would people pay for communism, how much for other forms of government?
