Somebody would manage to take offense. No doubt in my mind.

I don’t know what market is like in Europe or what country specifically you’re talking about. In US, small farm economics require high prices to be sustainable. Not just for eggs, but for produce and meat too. Of course you don’t have to buy from them, but I do. Obviously big farms can sell it for less, but those are the one affected by bird flu.

That’s dumb. 2.50 is not a sustainable price. If you get local eggs from a humane farm, they are going to be expensive. It’s just how it is man. If anything, that should cause you using them wiser.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/03/01/starmer-zelensky-patch-things-up-with-trump/ Sir Keir Starmer urged Volodymyr Zelensky to return to the White House and patch up his relationship with Donald Trump after the shouting match in the Oval Office, it has emerged…

Nah dude. EU essentially told Zelensky to patch things up with Trump. This will happen before long. I’m sure his underlings are hard at work making it happen as we speak. Then he’ll swallow the whole deal and will say thank you Daddy Trump. The life will go on.

So they curving inflation? So what? The war is expensive, it doesn’t mean that it’s collapsing.

The Article 5 wording is vague. It states that an attack against one member “shall be considered an attack against them all.” What is quoted less often is that each member state only has an obligation to take “such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force.”

They are under an obligation to decide what they want to do collectively. If they decide that it was an aggression, then they are under obligation to provide support. It can be exact same"support" that Europe is already providing to Ukraine. That’s too say not much of it

You do realize that article 5 does not mean that other countries have to join the war, right? They can choose to or they can choose not to. Even if they choose to get involved, it can be in form of economic support. And even if they choose to declare war, it can be in form of loud words. So I expect Poland would be on it’s own.

We’ve heard all this before. “Russia will collapse within a week… err month… Well maybe a year.” Yet here we are, Russia is doing okay for itself, war effort continues, Ukraine on slow retreat. All that sponsored with my money. Let France and Italy pay for it.

Going to be blocked by multiple countries.

Is this s troll message? It has to be, right?

Now who’s being childish

It won’t. Spoiler alert.

Why would you expect that? Wasn’t the whole deal first offered by Zelensky anyways? He was offering this along with using Ukrainian people as combat slaves. Points 4 and 5 here https://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/plan-peremogi-skladayetsya-z-pyati-punktiv-i-troh-tayemnih-d-93857

You should check out Oulu in Finland where kids bike to school in cold weather. Not a problem apparently. If that is too far fetched, you should visit Bozeman MT where people bike commute in the winter quite often.

Yes China makes big distinction between US and Europe in its rhetoric. And they are working on pulling Europe from USA, but it’s early days and it will take time. Lots of time.

I don’t think so. They are culturally too different. Europe will continue to suck American cock for at least couple decades going forward. That’s not to say that economic ties won’t increase in the meantime.

If you think about it from position of China being the biggest threat, then only Asian bases and countries matter. That’s why we don’t hear much about Trump doing crazy things in that region.

While Europe is important, it should be able to fend for itself. Also Europe joining China is unlikely in short and mid term. So it make sense to spend less money on Europe and focus on Asia.

Also explains the Russia situation. Although culturally Russia is as European as Sweden and Germany, this war has pushed it closer to China than ever. If the conflict lasts longer, then their alignment would be immenent. Personally I’m surprised that they didn’t align more. China was being surprisingly passive about the whole thing.
