Summary

Germany warns that Russia is rearming faster than expected, replacing war losses and stockpiling tanks, missiles, and drones.

Putin has redirected Russia’s economy to fuel its military, aided by supplies from Iran and North Korea.

While there’s no clear evidence of plans to attack NATO, Russia is creating the conditions for it.

On the Ukraine front, Russian forces are advancing in south Donetsk, nearing strategic town Pokrovsk, a key supply hub and coal mining center.

Analysts suggest Putin aims to seize land before potential peace talks.

      Everything’s just a treaty at the end.

        Nations, towns, families, your left hand agreeing with the right, all just treaties, got you. Maybe go a bit easier on the reductionism.

            We have common elections, we have a common citizenship, we have a common identity, in many areas it’s even common to identify as European over the nation state. That is, regional identity first, then European, then whatever nation state the region ended up in.

            All just a treaty.

              None of which has been tested. It’s very easy to claim all that in times of peacetime. When it comes time to go fight for someone else is when the real rubber hits the pavement.

                What about it not being about “someone else” did you not understand. Also, sounds like Russian copium.

                  I understood your contention, I just don’t believe it.
