One totalitarian asshole won over another totalitarian asshole. The lesson is - mind your own bussines and avoid any crazy asshole being it eastern, western or from dimension X. And that what Germany is trying to do (kind of), what you, Mothers Courages, can't understand.
If you put NATO or Ukraine into the same category as either of those dictators napshnap, I fear for your sanity.
And it's now Putin that has invaded a neighbour and definitely does not have right on his side.
Ukraine may be fatigued but they won't cede anything to Putin without a fight. And NATO will provide as much support as they can.
The Russian tactic of hitting Ukraine's energy system in winter is deeply cynical. Russia no longer has the balls to fight on the battlefield.
All of the measured response has come from Ukraine and NATO. NATO could supply long range missiles, Ukraine could use what they've got to attack Russia directly. That hasn't happened and won't.
Russia hasn't the resources or friends to maintain this project. The sooner Putin backs down the better.

Why is it so hard for you to calc 2 + 2? Btw, 4 is approximately that many times more Germany pays for american LPG now, thanks to the mysterious pipes destroyer.Surely after 9 months of waste there should be negotiation. Surely? Who has profited from this? Weapon makers and undertakers.
We discussed earlier, roots of the conflict. I remind you, that significant part of the people lost their representation in the gov and decided to move towards autonomy. Aaaand, here begins quite shady field of international law where the logic of actions and decision-making resembles more a shell game and not a law.And it's now Putin that has invaded a neighbour and definitely does not have right on his side.
Imagine that jews and gypsies were not evenly spread in german society, but occupied a certain regions, then you will get the picture.

I agree, that was at least questionable decision.The Russian tactic of hitting Ukraine's energy system in winter is deeply cynical.
Following your logic, or narrative, whatever - why then some countries decided to send more modern heavy weaponry?Russia no longer has the balls to fight on the battlefield.
Some big international oilfield services companies still operate in Russia and make good profit, huge fleet of tankers being bought, agricultural products and rare metalsRussia hasn't the resources or friends to maintain this project.
are sold, pipes in the conflict area still function normally. So it's not so dark. Business is business.
Btw, funny story - do you remeber those 300bil dollars that the west now tries to "put to good use"? This is money for the resources bought from Russia, in fact, this is a debt that is now refused to be recognized and paid. This is called a default.
