    This is a proxy war between Russia and NATO, where the west is cynically using Ukrainians to fight for them. This was admitted by no lesser person than the US secretary of state. Furthermore, Russia doesn’t need Europe, they were able to redirect their economy towards the global south, and it’s becoming clear that Europe’s obsession with defeating Russia is self destructive. Europeans allowed themselves to be cut off from cheap energy from Russia and Chinese markets that underpinned European prosperity. At the same time, the US is now preying in weakened Europe forcing it into unequal trade deals and to buy its expensive LNG.
