I'm seriously worried about the Ukraine since I live in a country next in line for invasion if Ukraine will get defeated.

I hope EU really steps up, because its looking like the start of WWIII, where the EU will have to defend its border.

We all know Putin is not interested in stopping where he is.

I've seen some articles about Trump admin Minsk III and that he'll threaten Putin with blah blah if he doesnt sign up. Its a long shot but we'll see.

I want the EU to really take this seriously. Ramp up arms manufacturing to supply Ukraine will send a message that Ukraine will keep fighting until Russia implodes.

Which country is that?

I'm Polish and I'm mega worried about it too. If Trump decides to pull US support for Ukraine and be best buddies with Putin I don't think it's crazy to imagine Poland getting pulled into the conflict within couple years, which depending on how things go could mean the involvement of all of NATO.

He wants the baltics back, not poland.

Ironically a lot of the American Right was actually radicalized by the 2015/2016 Syrian refugee crisis in Europe.

Tim Pool went from being an #OccupyWallStreet Berniebro to one of the biggest US conservative commentators after he saw brown people in Sweden. The Ron Paul crowd (who pretended to be "socially liberal & fiscally conservative") posted borderline "white genocide" conspiracy theories about what was happening in Europe.

Brown people in Sweden is "an invasion".

Russia invading Ukraine is merely "self-defense against NATO enlargement".

Don't let them pretend they are just isolationists. They explicitly support Russia because of the "white christian" racial identity politics they actually align with.
