      @@UCiWrMgES50tlUhV3l6NqjNA A republic *is* a democracy. A republic is a form of government where power rests with the people. In summary, a republic is about who holds power (the people), while a federation is about how power is divided geographically. These two concepts can be combined to create a federal republic, where power is shared between a central government and regional governments, and the people elect representatives to govern.

    Here’s an idea Europe, instead of treating Australia as an enemy with the punitive trade embargo you’ve inflicted for generations, why don’t you instead extend your alliance with the people who provide you with your essential defence at zero cost? It’s an idea about unity, because the way you favour trade with Russia over Australia is moronic.

    I read an study from 2023 that said should Russia attack Europe that the War will be short Europe as a whole has enough to defeat Russia even without the US.
    Now that same study also said it takes at least 3 decades to get Europe back into any form of a military defence partially equal to that of the US.
    Biggest problem will be the manufacturing capabilities of Europe and that Europe is not an Union like the US but separate smaller countries.
    With this in mind the US on its own continent on the other side of the world will always dominate in Offensive Power.
    It is often said in the past that no country in NATO except the US can stand against Russia size by size.
    The smaller European countries can only holdfast, defend the best they can.
    Until the US can mobilize and defeat the Russian invaders.
    Now looking at the past events we have to look at history to learn and we see that Politics take a long time.
    Where decisions sometimes take months or years and agreements and packs these days in the modern politics are worth nothing.
    So most European countries see the problem and are slowly changing their economy towards military defence and offensive power.

      European defense is big business for the US. Most of the expense is collected by companies in the USA and they pay taxes there. So this is a transfer of capital from the EU to the USA. Will Trump allow Europe to build its own factories? Does Trump want Europe to become an enemy for the US? I don't think so.

    Hopefully America continues to support Ukraine and Nato. Should America fail to support these two important issues. 1 It will only emboldened Dictators and other aggressive foreign countries. Giving them all the green light to invade their neighbors and other free democracies around the world. 2 A Nato without America. It would mean Europe assuming if needed. That they are today militarily capable of stopping Putin and Russia from further aggression and expansion of Europe by Russia should Ukraine lose the war. And Russia who has a history of wanting more territory. Decides they have more ambitions than just conquering Ukraine.

    Putin stated his conditions for even starting negotiations on the basis of Istanbul quite clearly. 1. Full Ukrainian withdrawal from the regions that are included in Russian constitution; 2. Recognition and acceptance from Ukraine that these regions are Russian; 3. Acceptance of Ukraine's neutral status. Istanbul also included restrictions on Ukrainian army armaments and a number of personal. Russians categorically rejected any freeze of the conflict Korea-style. These conditions can get only tougher by the time. Even Trump wouldn't be able to accept these conditions explicitly without a coup attempt against him, but he could do it implicitly by cutting Ukraine's sustenance and turning the page.

      yeah but Neither Ukraine nor the west are interested in these ridiculous proposals. Ukrainians categorically rejected any surrender of the conflict vichy-style. Russia's economic and demographic conditions can get only tougher by the time. As its young men remain away from their wives and grilfriends and getting wrecked in multimillion ruble vehicles instead of contributing to the russian economy. Speaking of the ruble I hear it's worth less than one US cent now andi bet having a 9.4% inflation rate isn't helping either. With every passing day russia gets weaker but the western world gets stronger.

      Well America thinks of it's self as the world policeman going around the world starting conflicts with countries where the US doesn't like the direction things are going in.
      Look at South America, many of the countries in South America have had US military interventions.
      If you're going to go around invading other countries it costs money.
      The US is the only country with 10 or 11 nuclear powered aircraft carriers, plus smaller carriers that the US marines have (that limited to aircraft just either the Harrier or the F-35b). The point of the aircraft carrier is not to sit on your own coastline and defend your own coast line, because you already have bases on your own coastline. The point of all of those aircraft carriers is to invade other countries that are no where near the US. Think about it even if the UK and Europe were being invaded the US wouldn't need aircraft carriers because it could use the airports around the UK and Europe. So the fact that the US has so many aircraft carriers shows the US intention to invade other countries and impose US military force far away from itself and far away from it's allies.
