    Maybe the EU can ask the UK to lend them the corpse of Neville Chamberlain for use during negotiations.

      Really incredible to watch all this after Europe spent nearly 4 years screeching how negotiating with Russia would be appeasement as a justification for keeping the war going. Turns out appeasement and territorial integrity were never really the issue here.

        Funniest argument as to why Putin is not a fascist is that if he was, Europe would have no issue “appeasing” him.

        Well they were taught a harsh lesson that their epic sanctions packages don’t actually work. It would be foolish to try it again on an even more powerful enemy.

      at least they’re consistent, remember how when Trump started the trade war, EU was all like we’re a bloc, we have negotiating power, we’ll put on counter tarrifs, and then they ate shit and smiled
