Why is Ukraine able to withstand war & bombing like it is?
Because of the Maidan - refounding the will of the people to their own democratic self determination.
Why can we in Europe not bring ourselves to support UA like we should, in our own interest?
Because we did not have this for too long.

Carney reportedly wrote the speech himself. Canada's govt is in good hands. He urges everyone to recognize that the US has joined Ru in finishing off the intl order and is trying to convert allies into vassals but also to remember Canada/EU/others have the power to push back and defend sovereignty.
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Mark Carney, Canada.

"We know the old order is not coming back. ... Nostalgia is not a strategy, but we believe that from the fracture we can build something .. more just. This is the task of the middle powers ... that have the most to gain from genuine cooperation."

You see?

They've gone power-mad.

USA, USA, USA! 🦍

And why wouldn't they have? Americans aren't going to stop this.

Europeans still can't believe it.

They're getting quite frustrated that we don't take them seriously, actually 😁

This is a desaster for Europe's foreign policy. Do we even have one?
So, Russia only needs to dictate its demands to a US Trumpian stenografer, and hey-presto, we find this a "discutable proposal"?
This is not just UA's surrender but also our own, European abdication of self-interest.

Here's something from my own world. A little SEM image, as one can see, in BSE mode.
It shows magnesiowuestite crystals - the round shapes - which experienced wild swings in T & oxygen potential. So they multiply exsolved, and iron is reduced (the white patches). We use this as natural sensors.

If last time around America was saved from the fascist wave by Roosevelt's New Deal. But this time it is succumbing. Can we in Europe then not accept the role reversal and pacify ourselves with a modernized New Deal? Adopt Roosevelt's Four Freedoms as a program, and Eleanor's standard of decency?
