Friendly reminder: This is my own biased opinion. > Why would you start a conflict with your neighbours when you depend on their wellbeing? The way I look at it: Where is the war happening? It's happening at Putin's border. This is a defense war that Putin is leading. Whether he is wrong in his assessment of Western plotting or not, is a different story. > EU has a well educated and healthy society that is going through demographics crisis You just contradicted yourself in a single statement. A healthy society that's going through a crisis? > The main problem with China is that now they are actually very close to the west to catch up on science, technology and culture and design too which would mean complete Chinese dominence. They are not. China is good in planned execution and they do have some innovative companies. The last saga of clamping down on the tech elites at this specific period of time just shows that the country is being run by a circus. Chinese elite are running to the US (and Canada/Australia which is kinda like saying the US but different flags).

> Where is the war happening? It's happening at Putin's border. This is a defense war that Putin is leading. So if Turkey attacks Greece it would be Erdogan's defence war because it would happen at Turkey's borders? Hard to follow that logic. Do you say that the invasions are actually defensive moves when they happen at the invaders borders(which is always the case when you invade a neighbour). EU has a healthy society with ageing population. That's the crisis, it's not like middle east or Africa but like early stages of Japan. The USA doesn't have that problem, China has it much more severely.

> Where is the war happening? It's happening at Putin's border. This is a defense war that Putin is leading. This is an unprovoked war of aggression. The mental gymnastics in this paragraph is astonishing. By this logic, Hitler's invasion of Bohemia and Moravia were also defense wars, because it happened right at Hitler's border. There is/was no conspiracy or threat to the existence of the Russian state. Nobody truly gives a fuck about Russia, as long as they keep the gas lines open and they don't use nerve agents to kill their dissidents abroad. Nobody wants to invade or nuke Russia, most westerners don't even think about Russia.
