The Morning Rant

I'll take European solidarity with Ukraine seriously when they start sending troops.

It is relatively easy to send military aid and "humanitarian" support...after all, that is simply a financial transfer from their citizens to Ukraine, of course with hefty chunks of those funds going to the well-connected.

And let us not forget the ongoing purchase of Russian natural gas and even a bit of oil by the oh-so-sophisticated EU bourgeoisie, who spout anti-Russian platitudes while heating their homes with Russian gas. The smug hypocrisy would be difficult to tolerate if they weren't masters at it. They have been safe under the American military umbrella for 80 years while simultaneously criticizing America at every turn.

European Leaders Rally Behind Ukraine as War Enters 5th Year

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council António Costa are in Kyiv for the anniversary, along with the leaders of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, Norway, and Sweden.

“Our objective is a comprehensive, just and lasting peace for Ukraine based on the principles of the UN Charter and international law,” Costa, von der Leyen, and European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said in a joint statement.

"We support all efforts aimed at achieving such a peace – a peace with dignity and long-term security. Respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity is the cornerstone. No country can annex its neighbour. Borders cannot be changed by force. The aggressor cannot be rewarded," the EU leaders added.

Otherwise, shut up, support American efforts to end this regional border dispute, and continue to lose your cultures and your souls to the Muslim invaders you invited in.

And here is the smuggest of them all! Macron, whose country has provided barely half of what the UK has sent to Ukraine, is the biggest chicken-hawk of them all!

French President Emmanuel Macron said in a post on X that the war is a “triple failure for Russia: military, economic, and strategic.”

“It has strengthened NATO—the very expansion Russia sought to prevent—galvanized Europeans it hoped to weaken, and laid bare the fragility of an imperialism from another age. Because Ukraine is the first line of defence of our continent, France and Europe stand resolutely by its side.” Macron added.
