U mean EU with over 20 trillions dollar economy are parasite. All this IPOB and Muslims self. Do you know that they deliberately gave US their security then focus on something else. They have the money to pursue US military out of their land and develop their own security since US through that Orange man is becoming authoritative like Putin.
Don't mind those people. "EU is a collection of jokes" indeed. There's Italy, there's Netherlands, there's Norway**, Switzerland**, etc. How many countries in Asia can measure up to either of them?

Is there any country in Africa that measures up to the small Netherlands?

All this lightweight nations and noise.

Remove Germany from Europe and you will see that they are just a bunch of parasites that need one another to continue to survive off another host.

Even France is now a shadow of its former self, make them rest. Without American support, the Eu is a collection of jokes

Joke in what sense; education, social security, per capital income, health and life expectancy? grin

I believe these sanctions are more of a message to America than Russia

EU and the trump administration are seriously at loggerheads over Ukraine and it appears the European union is telling Donald trump to get lost with his buddy Putin for excluding them from the ongoing talks in Saudi Arabia


In this life, try to be strong or other people will decide how you live your life, this is one lesson I've learnt from my village to Gaza, Ukraine and DRC

A nuclear armed Ukraine will not be ignored and ridiculed like this, today the Rock man in north Korea with all the poverty in his country commands more respect in US than the entire EU

Facing two bullies must be very difficult for zelensky, it's a crazy world

But some European countries also have nukes. The dynamics of US-Europe and US-Rocket Man relationships are different. The EU can easily rival the US in most areas, including military might.

Also, Ukraine had nukes. It gave them up on assurances from Russia and the US. I'm sure you can still that picture of Clinton, Yeltsin and the Ukrainian leader online. And now, they face two bullies.

Trump is even planning to remove those sanctions initially and these clown are adding more forgetting that that will still suffer it. Most things that Europe use are either produced in Asia or Russia. Europe is so stupid because how can they be depending on Asia and Russia for their production that is why that can't even stand China.
What are the most things Europe uses that are produced in Russia?

Russia's GDP is 10% of the EU. Superpower since when? You're not serious

Small yansh dey shake. When two superpowers are talking, who is EU ?

EU is supposed to be a superpower block but they reduced themselves to vasals and slaves to America. They helped empower America and enable her do all the evils unchecked for decades. The monster they made has publicly shame them. Former presidents have restricted he shaming and disregard of EU to private but Trump is out to do it openly and they're all worked up

EU are just waking up,if shenanigans that is happening in Ukraine go unchallenged,it will actually go round all the EU countries.

EU has relaxed too much, with developed countries like UK, France, Germany, Italy and many more they are waiting for America to come and fight their war , very shameful.

Russia is the most sanctioned country in the world. It has over 20,000 sanctions, way more than Iran, Syria, Venezuela, and North Korea.

Yet, our sweet Russia continues to stand high up. It is working fine and has not crippled as the US and the European Union and their bullies hoped, so a new sanctions package by the European Union is just the cry of a weakling and a signal of the end of the European Union as a voice of influence in Europe and around the world.

Everyone should take a backseat. Russians are living fine and are doing well despite being the most sanctioned country in the world. A new set of sanctions is nothing.

Who tell you that, Russia has lost its post as second most powerful nation after America to China. China is rated above Russia economically. If not for support it was getting from countries like north Korea and Iran it would have been another story for them.

Europe doesn't want to turn their continent to a warzone, and neither do they inherently want to fight Russia, only wants to weaken it and put it in its place.

Russia's invasion to Ukraine gave them a proxy to weaken Russia, that's all.

That Proxy might end up weaken Europe

That's where you're wrong. It takes more than an inflated GDP to be a superpower. GDP is a scam. It will take EU about 100m to build what Russia and China builds with 5m. That's why GDP is a scam. And if you're comparing the whole EU with Russia, then it says a lotm EU is at least 27 countries

GDP is not a scam. It shows how influential a country is.

EU is much more powerful than Russia. Your perception is skewed because you see Putin in the news all the time.

US, China and EU are the real superpowers.

EU is not powerful. They're vasals of the US. They have everything it takes to be powerful but they decided to play second fiddle to the US. The EU and The US are a block, calling the US and the EU is a mistake. Unless they're able to break free as a result of the recent events, the EU has no say of their own. They depend completely on America for defense and every other thing.

The West - US empowered by the EU is the world super power. Followed by China and then Russia.

Trump is not out here trying to romance Putin because he loves Russia. Trump is proud, but he plays politics too. He understands that he can easily bully Europe but can't bully Russia. America depends on the dollars. They're completely unproductive within the last few decades. The use of the dollars as global reserve is the ONLY power America has at the moment - if you don't understand this, then you're not qualified for this conversation.

Why is romancing with Putin a solution to keep the dollars as the world currency? Should I school you on this? I don't want to write more. If you don't understand where this is going, then you don't qualify for this conversation

Rid yourself of delusions. Russia is by definition a superpower and has been so for many years. It is self-evident in all that has been unfolding. Only a superpower can get away with what Russia is doing without being invaded. Not much soft power, but it has hard power - raw military might. Only those who have successfully digested U.S. sponsored propaganda will hold that false notion.

Firstly this sanctions are just nonsense because EU are just fooling themselves. Secondly, Some of you are blinding following Europe and thinking that Russia was wrong or were the aggressor because they were the once who invaded Ukraine but forgetting that the Ukrainian invited Russia to their country. Historical it's known that Ukraine joining NATO was already sealed more than 35 years ago and NATO agreed never to accept Ukraine into their alliance. These are not stories because it's known that if Ukraine attempted to join NATO this whole thing will take place. Ukraine joining NATO is a big disaster to Russia sovereignty because now you will have USA and the rest of NATO building the biggest NATO base in Russia border where that could easily attack Russia in time of war but you dumb European supporters who do not even know the history behind NATO and how they were not supposed to have expanded the way they did over some decades now.
Russia kept warning the alliance and not only Russia including some generals in US and Europe saying this will be destruction of Ukraine but USA and Europe deceived Zelenskey to enter the war that they will defend his country. It was all lies.

See this fool called Putin


It comes after Donald Trump appeared to place some blame for the war on Ukraine, saying that a “half-baked negotiator could have settled this years ago without the loss of much land, very little land, without the loss of any lives, and without the loss of cities that are just laying on their sides

So, even with negotiations you would have taken some lands
You would have taken some cities

Of course, not one Russian lost his life in this war
AND
The cities you have taken were destroyed by yourself!
