As the Russians can't lose ~ Certainly from the Putin Regime's point of view !It seems indeed that Russia pasted Ukraine at a level heretofore unseen. I expected this ramp up before they nuke them
If the Americans flatten Iran, then maybe the Russians will Flatten Ukraine ? !I think Russia will target embassies in Kiev tomorrow, warning to evacuate were issued by the Russians and they will be ignored
I am coming to the conclusion that President Donald J Trump could do with me as his, Secretary of War !The precident having set
Muslims like consistency ( just look at their Totalitarian " religion " ~ Totalitarian Control in reality )Trump would be afraid that you would treat the muslims overly well
We've been listening to this 'red line', 'decision making centre' sabre rattling off the Russians for years now. They are all mouth.I think Russia will target embassies in Kiev tomorrow, warning to evacuate were issued by the Russians and they will be ignored

EU following path of Roman Empire’s decline – Czech PM
The bloc is weakening itself through its economic and military policies, Andrej Babis told the Financial Times

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis has compared the EU to the Roman Empire in its twilight years, arguing that Brussels is weakening the bloc through its economic, climate, and security policies.
Babis returned to office in December after his ANO movement won 34.5% of the vote and 80 seats in the 200-member lower house of parliament. Since then, he has positioned himself as a leading advocate of national sovereignty, a reassessment of EU policies, and a more pragmatic approach to Europe’s economic and security challenges.
In an interview published on Sunday, Babis accused Brussels of steering the bloc’s economy toward decline through what he called its aggressive decarbonization agenda. “The EU is now probably on the same road as the end of the Roman empire,” he told the FT.
The EU’s push to phase out fossil fuels has become increasingly divisive, with critics in Germany, Italy, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia arguing that climate targets, carbon pricing, and environmental rules are adding to energy costs and weakening industrial competitiveness as governments also face rising defense bills and the economic fallout from the Ukraine conflict.
Babis also said Prague would probably miss NATO’s 2% of GDP defense-spending target this year, despite claiming it met it in 2025. He blamed the pressure partly on a deficit left by Petr Fiala’s previous pro-EU government.
The issue feeds into a broader EU debate over dependence on the US, which accounts for around 60% of NATO’s total military spending. President Donald Trump has warned that the US could scale back its role in European defense unless NATO countries significantly increase military spending.

The debate has exposed competing visions within the Czech leadership. Babis and President Petr Pavel, a former NATO military chief and outspoken supporter of Ukraine, have clashed over defense policy, aid to Kiev, and Czech representation at NATO gatherings.
While Babis wields greater formal authority as prime minister and leader of the parliamentary majority, Pavel remains a prominent voice on foreign and security policy.
The economic pressures, security concerns, and reliance on external military protection underpin Babis’ comparison with ancient Rome.
The Roman Empire’s later centuries were marked by political instability, economic strain, and military overstretch. It became increasingly reliant on foreign troops while struggling to finance its defenses, as trade and economic activity declined and external pressures mounted.

The Western Roman Empire formally collapsed in 476 AD when its last emperor was deposed. Political authority fragmented into successor kingdoms, and Europe entered centuries of decentralisation and instability.

Even RT avoids mentioning that climate change has been totally debunked, merely noting that decarbonisation policies are causing economic harm.Hopefully the corrupt and authoritarian EU collapses sooner than later.
