The Russian dictator has bent the world, including the United States, to his vision.

          I wish it was. But Europe is confused and not united enough. They still can’t believe the US is on Russian side now, hoping for the best. And they’re paralyzed, because every real action is bocked by the pro-Russian countries among them.

            Not fast enough for sure, but I’m definitely confident we’ll get there. Three years ago would have been better, to save Ukraine, today it’s the whole free world at stake.

              Three years sound way too many. By that time, how many countries are going to fall victim to the same forces that got the US? Hungary and Slovakia are already lost. This year, it’s going to be Czechia. And who knows which other elections in which countries are going tu turn out badly.

              I wish Europe was able to act now and purge all the infowar actors, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.

                Oh, I’ve just read this article. It’s depressing but important for understanding the European capability to defend itself - which is almost nonexistent without the US. I didn’t know it was that bad. https://archive.is/GCWGk
