The enemies of Europe do not like the new leaders of Europe, I suppose we have not chosen so badly in the elections the other day

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 7 points 3 days ago

She seemed to be a pretty reasonable politician to me. I think she'll do fine. If Russia wants to improve their relations with the EU, then they might want to stop acting like an adversary.

[-] Foni@lemm.ee -2 points 3 days ago

Well, I don't have exactly the same opinion, another day we can discuss things like Pfizergate or why a Ukrainian is worth more to this commission than a Palestinian. But it is clear that it is much better that whatever the Kremlin considers acceptable, there is no debate on that

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 5 points 3 days ago

No idea what Kaja Kallas has to do with Pfizergate to be completely honest...

And Palestine & Israel are outside of Europe and both sides are a fucking mess that no one wants to deal with. I also find this whole Palestine argument idiotic and hypocritical when there's been war in the middle East for decades but suddenly everyone claims to care, now that Israel is involved.

It’s not a phobia if it’s a real threat, you bag of smashed assholes.

[-] RichieRich@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

What do they expect? There is no trust in Russian politics anymore. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I'm irritated that there was ever any trust in Russian politics. You are way too optimistic after the USSR ended.

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

If anything everyone is now undeniably aware that any agreement with Russia is not even worth the paper it is written on.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Disdain for Russia and maligning their influence is completely reasonable in these circumstances.

Good, hope he lives up to this.

She, it's Kaja Kallas the PM of Estonia

That's all the confirmation I need to know that this is the man for the job.

I couldn't read the artìcle, because a the cyrillic pop up (possibly gdpr). The picture in the thumbnail is a man, so I assumed that was the man.

Europe should muster whatever strength she has to wage an earnest hybrid war against russia.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Just start the war in the springtime.

[-] federalreverse@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

As I understand the two of you: "hybrid" has a "conventional " component, and "springtime" supposedly refers to the fact that seizing Russia in winter is hard.

If my reading of this is correct, please stop your trains of thought. You guys sound way too trigger-happy. It helps absolutely no one to turn the Russia-Ukraine war into an EU-Russia war. War just kills a ton of people, and for what, in that case?

Sensibly enough, everyone in the EU is trying to avoid getting involved in the "conventional warfare" bit and containing things to Ukraine. I am also fairly sure that right now, nobody whosoever is dumb enough to try to seize Russia.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Didn't think I needed to add an /s to comments like this, but I guess I will just start doing that from now on.

[-] federalreverse@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Sorry for misinterpreting you. But then, you responded to a comment that was apparently serious. ¯\(ツ)

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago
  1. Sorry for the snippy response. I have a lot going on right now, and I attributed malice where there was none.

  2. I didn't think that other guy was serious 🤦‍♂️
