Where I'm from it was always in the cards, the only question was who and and when. Russia already invaded Ukraine and Georgia in the last few decades.
Russia without expansionism is like Germans without ordnung, it's essential to their existence.
US sanctions hit Europe very hard

Expansionism ?
There are many people who compare Russia's problem (with NATO misssiles on its border)
to the U.S. Cuban Missile Crisis, 60 years ago.
President Kennedy decided that Russian Nuclear could not be stationed 90 miles from the U.S. coast. Same as Putin is complaining (with U.N. Forces).
Nobody called out the U.S. for being "Expansionist"
Young people need to read up on it.
I can see the parallels.
I think any open-minded person can.

You are definitely a nutcase.
US sanctions hit Europe very hard
US sanctions against Russia have led to the bankruptcy of almost all German energy companies.
The biggest German energy company, Uniper, has just reported one of the biggest losses of ever of any company in the World:
40 billion Euro loss in the first 9 months of this year.
And Uniper is a publicly traded company...
Germany and all Germans are very "thankful" for this US...
Situation is similar everywhere in Europe - thanks to this brainless US administration...
No European will ever again see anything like a "friend" in such a brainless & destructive & egoistic US anymore..
I think members of this US administration better should not visit Europe, for their own safety...

Knapp 40 Milliarden Euro
Uniper fährt größten Verlust der deutschen Wirtschaftsgeschichte ein
Der vor der Verstaatlichung stehende Energiekonzern hat in den ersten neun Monaten einen Nettoverlust von 39,3 Milliarden Euro eingefahren – auch weltweit ist das einer der höchsten Werte jemals. Die Finanzchefin hofft nun auf die Restrukturierung.

EU has the same sanctions. Most European countries are members of NATO and most Europeans are thankful for the US contribution to NATO and the US sanctions.
Well, maybe the population is aligned with the political leaders of their countries as poorly as American citiizens are aligned with our political leaders.
(Which is like - not at all.)
This is how democracies die.
What's the approval rating for Joe Biden, or the average Wash Pol?
You're speculating too much. It doesn't seem to me that you spend much time in Europe.
The last poll I read was ~80% of Europeans support sanctions against Russia. This is also in line with the conversations I have with Europeans.
he was 'til he lost his goddamn mind. Them sticky points of autocracies.
and those people are stupid. Think Iraq invasion of Kuwait instead.
Oh that's because poor EU was doing the bidding of the evil evil USA. Without the USA's involvement, EU was perfectly fine with Russia invading Ukraine, an independent democratic country and threatening the peace of the entire Europe. @earth_imperator and @countryBoy641 idiots are trying to drive a wedge between US and its allies with their puny Chinese propaganda trolling thinking this will somehow defeat the USA and achieve the world domination goal of the CCP. LOL
Hey @earth_imperator, figured out how to trade vega-neutral options strategies yet? LOL
