      Clearly not, given that Europe doesn’t appear to be particularly concerned with the US blowing up their gas pipelines.

        No one said the safe word, so it was with consent.

    Europe’s response should be:

    “OK, sure 👍”

    That’s like saying, “if you don’t give in to the bully’s demands he’ll bully you!”

    Russia has proven over and over again that they will be a pain in the ass to the entire world no matter what. They don’t negotiate in good faith so there’s no reason to give a damn what they think.

    If Russia could be trusted they would never have invaded Ukraine, based on their previous treaty regarding nuclear disarmament.

      If by “the entire world” you mean dying western empire then sure.

      If Russia could be trusted they would never have invaded Ukraine, based on their previous treaty regarding nuclear disarmament.

      LMFAO, even The Hill is debunking this bullshit now https://thehill.com/opinion/5198022-ukraine-conflict-disinformation/
