1. > Europe is drawing up “pretty precise plans” for a multinational troop deployment to Ukraine **as part of post-conflict security guarantees** that will have **the backing of U.S. capabilities**, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the Financial Times in an interview published Sunday.

   In other words, the EU stomachs deploying troops if Russia allows it, and if the USA guarantees it.

   What an impressive display of strength.

2. They keep on negotiating between themselves and just ignore what Russia has been repeating for 3 years, no NATO in Ukraine.

   Getting high on their own supply…

3. By « europe » she means France and UK, who are doing so in a bilateral agreement where EU and Van der Leyen have no say ?

   This women has done more harm to EU image than what Farage and all anti-EU politicians have done until know.

   Really hope for her to end up in jail for the COVID/Pfeiser scandale because that is the only thing that I can see save from tar and feather.

4. Whatever it is, it’s going to take a year of meetings, summits, hundreds of public statements, thousands of news articles and terabytes of group photos – and in the end be just as unrealistic and wholly detached from reality as their peace plan for Ukraine is.

   Which has been thoroughly rejected so many times that I have lost count, and yet they keep bringing up the exact same thing at the end of every new meeting.

   Ok, troops. Troops from whose army? Germany just declined even the considerations of, Poland isn’t going to do it, and neither would Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Italy etc.; who made statements on that already at some point.

   By the way, why is an unelected bureaucrat of an _economic union_ even talking about military troop deployments in the first place? Who died and made you the chief almighty?
