When puppetry replaces policy, war replaces peace.

  1. It is sad that the head of the most powerful member-state of NATO is acting as a pupper

  2. That’s a simplified vision

    War replaces peace not only when policy becomes puppetry, but also when language itself becomes a weapon

    Calling an armed, non-neutral fighting force a “peacekeeping mission” erases the line between war and peace

    Believing that “weapons secure peace” embeds violence as a permanent condition. Such framing shifts war from the failure of diplomacy to its instrument, erasing the very concept of peace as something beyond managed destruction

    Orwell got it long time ago

  3. Nato isnt an independent negotiator, it is just an extension of americas will. Appeasement to putin is because america views china as the larger threat to its world order.

  4. Despite the hate Trump isn’t actually Putin’s puppet.

    He just seems like that because Ukraine and Europe are cakes ready to be divided and eaten. From the perspective of the food, all eaters look the same.

  5. Actually from EU side it’s not about: “Putin, end the war” at all.

    It’s about:

    “We must defeat Russia on the battlefield” (c) Borrel (and not only him)

    “We will give everything to Ukraine so the war can continue till the last Ukranian”(c)

    And ridiculous, inappropriate ultimatums demanding that Russia capitulate.

    To demand capitulation of the other side, you must first win the proxy war, and the West is obviously losing it.

    All EU is doing is opposite to diplomacy and searching for peace.

    Trump understands that and trying to make USA jump off this sinking boat to let Ukraine and too much warmongering EU to sink on their own if they are willing to do so.

  6. so why eu didn’t ditch nato and usa, have a real Europe one.

  7. In a way this is true, but I don’t think people understand why.

  8. To be perfectly fair, NATO should be 10x bigger than Putin (US military technology is incomprably better than Russia’s).

    It should also have walked all the way from across the room to within 5 inches of Russia while yelling that its a defensive alliance. Maybe Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, and Afghanistan can smoulder in the background as examples of how much we actually care about the “rules based order.”

    Also if Ukraine was encircling and destroying Russian troops, we would all laugh obnoxiously at Putin’s cries for a ceasefire (until he started nuking things maybe). It would be equally dumb for Russia to do agree to one now without extracting the deal they want. Why treat this as a moral question instead of a strategic issue?

    Obviously I wish the fighting would stop immediately. But I’m not surprised that it hasn’t – the winning side generally doesn’t let the enemy regroup during a ceasefire.

  9. Funny thing is not many peace proposals from Europe last couple of years no?

  10. Why is NATO a bald headed old white man? Isn’t it supposed to be Mark Rutte?

  11. This is so stupid it just created a new level of stupid.

  12. Why does shit like this get posted? Are you guys ever going to step up?

    Zero troops donated to the meat grinder.

    The EU gave more money to Russia last year than it did to Ukriane.

  13. Who would have thought that relying on one country for defense was a bad idea? Who could have possibly thought that this one country had interests other than keeping Europe safe?

  14. Good thing it’s not EU and US politics over the last 3 years that led to position we have now, it was Trump who did.

  15. I disagree with the sentiment, but the cartoon is very funny. Thanks for posting it!
