    Almost all countries other than USA, Russia, and China have to pick a side.

        Well, their economy isn’t collapsing any time soon. And they managed to destroy modern military systems supplied by NATO.

          Hasn’t their economy already shrunk by 5% since the war began?

          Seems like they’re going to become a vassal state of China.

          Their gdp is production of weapons right now. After they lose no one is going to want these weapons and they have been produced for the trash.

          My point is it’s not real growth.

          Europe could stand against Russia without American support. probably not China though. china couldn’t attack any American aligned state without facing humiliation though

        It is, but I wouldn’t count on our potential to wage an effective modern war in functional cooperation with the many countries in the EU. Especially when it is a war taking place out of Europe and not a defensive action.

        A militaristic endeavor would surely be held up and manipulated by opposing countries within the alliance, just like it is now with economic decisions.

      I’m highly biased but that seems like an easy choice, geography notwithstanding.
