Now it is very profitable to use accusations against Russia to fight competitors.

As a Russian, I will be happy if the European Union gains independence from the US. This gives a chance that after the end of the conflict with Ukraine, sooner or later we will be able to re-establish relations.

No, he is not saying that Europe does not need the US. He says the US should not be able to tell Europe what to do. If Europe is equally friendly with China and the US, then neither China nor the US will be able to use Europe to their advantage.

The intelligence of NATO countries, together with the technologies of NATO countries, poses a serious threat to our military bases. It's hard to disagree with this.

Why do you see yourself immediately as a vassal of China? Instead of the American world order, you can get three powerful players: the European Union, China, the USA. You can partner with the US and China at the same time, using this relationship to your advantage. If relations with China continue to cause problems, then it will always be possible to reduce cooperation at the expense of partnership with the United States.

It’s a pity that instead of a peaceful solution to the conflict with Russia, you think that Russia should be suppressed, provoked into a conflict and use its military power for this ... I’m not sure that wars in Europe are in the interests of France, Germany or any other European country. But since you want to encircle Russia at any cost, then go ahead... But we will not look at this with folded hands.

This applies to weak alliances. But as a Russian, I believe that the European Union is capable of becoming an analogue of the United States in terms of influencing world events. In this case, I believe that sooner or later we will be able to rebuild relationships that are important to each other.

Our only mistake is that we failed to prepare well enough to quickly destroy the enemy. But time goes by and I hope that we will still be able to protect Russia from NATO and defend our independence, as it was already in World War II.

@miguelpadeiro762 I would not say that NATO was dead. Nevertheless, NATO gradually expanded and approached the borders of Russia. It was the military cooperation between NATO and Ukraine that became one of the reasons for Russia's military invasion of Ukraine. If Europe gains military independence, then, as a Russian, I will be glad. This will mean that Europe will be able to act in its own interests. And it is in the interests of Europe to establish peace in Europe.

@Alex-bc1hx The US has a lot of tools to put pressure on different countries: military, economic, energy, information, and so on. Partnership with different countries allows Europe to reduce the number of American levers of pressure on Europe.

@SelfProclaimedEmperor On the other hand, the military autonomy of Europe will make it possible to avoid new wars like the Russian-Ukrainian one. If the European one acts in the interests of Europe, then Europe will be able to avoid wars like the Russian-Ukrainian ones, which are only needed by the United States.

@SelfProclaimedEmperor Maybe it was worth respecting Russian concerns about the increased military presence of NATO countries on Russia's borders. Ukraine gradually integrated into NATO. In 2022, NATO was going to hold dozen military drills in Ukraine. The military strengthening of Ukraine by NATO countries, taking into account the territorial conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, posed a great threat to Russia. But you decided to ignore us and continued to arm Ukraine. NATO pursued a 30-year policy of gradually approaching Russia's borders for a military encirclement. It all happened, of course, in the interests of the United States and Great Britain. They need to expand their influence. If Europe were independent, then they could send the Americans and the British with their ideas to control Russia away and exist peacefully, cooperating with Russia.

@yoavmor9002 You are a joker. Suffice it to recall how many wars the Americans organized under the guise of fighting for democracy. The United States, under the guise of democracy, interferes in the affairs of sovereign countries and arranges terrible wars there. The current system has outlived itself. The world needs an alternative. A few major players who will influence world events will avoid abuse of their position, as the United States did for the last 30 years after the collapse of the USSR. Democracy in the hands of the American government has become just an attempt to justify all its atrocities with beautiful slogans.
