"Every time Trump or members of his administration have lashed out at Europe, including Ukraine, Europeans have absorbed the blow with a forced smile and bent over backwards to flatter the White House." (...)
"While a systemic answer to Europe’s security conundrum is not in sight, Europeans do have the levers to prevent Ukraine’s capitulation and create the conditions for a just peace."
What European countries should do is to make a big noise about how the Russia is a colonial empire. There are tens and tens of cultures living under the Russia's fist, without rights to rule their lands and with all their natural resources extracted for the colonizing country's use, leaving almost nothing in the colony itself.
The Russia is just the same as France used to be, and what France still partially is. It is ridiculous that anti-colonialists in Africa end up supporting the only colonial empire that has never done the least to free its colonies even to a small extent.
