That's right, they just happened to fall of a carrier for no reason at all.

Seems like technological advancements of the past few decades are making US tech obsolete.

There is zero chance of Russia withdrawing from the current territories at this point. Also, why would Russia give shit if France and UK sent troops to Ukraine. Russian army is at around 1.5 million troops, while the EU could scrape up a few thousand troops at best. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/british-army-troops-ukraine-defence-b2701635.html

Meanwhile, the US provides the bulk of NATO accounting for over 70% of arms and majority of the troops. Without the US, there is no NATO. Anybody who understands basic arithmetic can see how absurd this whole notion is.

You don't have to prove them since you can just try things and see what the results are. The paper acts as a solid basis of an approach that's known to work.

I mean Azov nazis are also an official unit of the armed forces of Ukraine, so sure any fascist can officially fight for Ukraine.

I've been ollama, it can just pull striaght from the huggingface url

after past three years I'm not ruling anything out as too crazy

Given how the decoupling trial balloon went with the tariffs, I just don't see how they plan to launch a war against China. It's pretty clear that US economy will collapse within a couple of months. Meanwhile, I'm sure the US would love to have NATO as a disciplinary force in Europe, but you just have to look at what's happening in Germany, France, UK, and Romania to see where things are headed. Right wing nationalists are rapidly becoming the most popular bloc in these countries and all of them are against the EU and NATO. I just don't see how EU center can keep a lid on this going forward. Meanwhile, the trade war with the US is only making the situation worse.

or more succinctly

bro forgot how to capitalism

yeah

If you bothered reading the points in the law you linked, then you'd quickly see that he very much falls under the category of a mercenary. The fact that a bunch of marauders got together and call themselves an "international legion" doesn't change the nature of what's happening. Keep on digging though, it's adorable.

Sure, but we're not talking about Europe becoming communist here. What's happening is that we're seeing rise of nationalism and a slide towards fascism. What I expect to happen is that the neoliberal centre is going to collapse, and the EU will split back into individual states that are going to be doing ladder pulling. NATO is entirely incompatible with that.

the article literally says he's a mercenary, try putting more effort into your trolling in the future

Oscar Jenkins, 33, was convicted in a Russian-controlled court in occupied eastern Ukraine on Friday of fighting in an armed conflict as a mercenary.

Material conditions have primacy though. The abstract fear of Russia has to compete with tangible inability to put food on the table.

The reason it might happen is because the US sees China as the main adversary. Europe doesn't hold the same strategic significance as it did during the cold war. With USSR no longer around, Russia does not pose an ideological threat to the US, and now that Russia inflicted a military defeat on NATO, there's no possibility of further expansion east. The US will force Europe to increase their military budgets to 5% and take up the slack https://www.axios.com/2025/05/16/rubio-nato-trump-5-percent-defense-spending-summit-deal

Yup, and that's the opposite of what the admin wants right now.

He's a mercenary, and Russia already stated that they don't treat maundering mercenaries as soldiers.

I'm guessing single quotes, since a single double quote isn't valid syntax.
