    No one is arguing that Ukraine isn’t part of Europe. If that’s what you understand the point to be, you’re a moron. Invading a single country in Europe and squatting on the border is not invading an entire continent. Stop your fear mongering.

    Russia never set out to capture all of Ukraine and hold it. That’s what the West said their mission was so that they could then report that Russia failed. Russia’s objectives are being met in Ukraine, specifically not allowing NATO to amass forces on their most vulnerable border.

    Russia is not going to invade Kiev and take the whole country in 6 months because that’s not their goal. It’s essentially an indefensible position if they do it.

    You think that Europe is united? Italy and Germany are dealing with the rise of fascist parties to power. European industry is in shambles. England, the historical birthplace of modern steel industry, can no longer produce steel. Germany is deindustrializing. France’s African neocolonies are throwing them out.

    Meanwhile the Western sanctions regime has failed completely, Russia has stronger alliances than ever, weapons production in the West has been shown to be completely incapable of meeting objectives while Russia’s production and weapons partners have demonstrated their clear superiority.

    You can keep making up objectives and then claiming Russia failed to meet those made up objectives, but that doesn’t change the fact that Russia has no designs on invading Europe, has demonstrated their resolve and their resilience, and exposed the West as a paper tiger.
