Italy has always been a trend setter. Trump is just a cheap mashup of Berlusconi and Mussolini

Not really true. Trump administration is also consistent on advancing Israel foreign policy. Israel and Russia, so many things in common.

People use the term “the West” interchangeably with “US and historical allies after WW2 in Europe and North America that I will pretend are a single coherent block with the same history, social issues, internal affair and foreign policies (the US one) and that I will hate because of war/colonialism/slavery/lgbtq+”

The fact that France, Italy, Denmark, Poland, USA, and Brazil are radically different Western countries is unimportant to most that uses the world “West” in normal conversation.

I do not really care about west being used while geographically makes no sense. We are full of label that makes no sense. I would like at least to have a consistent definition.

Actually the biggest European producer is Enel’s 3Sun Gigafactory in Catania, Italy, not Meyer Burger.

Iran is the aggressor against the gulf state. No gulf state has made aggressive action against Iran, and there was no military action from gulf states except self defence. All gulf states have no interest in getting involved in the conflict and asked for deescalation at the UN. In a joint declaration from the middle east council on global affairs:

Despite several Gulf states stating that their territory could not be used for the war by the U.S. or Israel, Iran has targeted U.S. military assets across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, with an impact on civilian infrastructure.

When Iran decided to attach civilian targets totally unrelated with the conflict then it became aggressor. Iran can be the aggressor and the target of war at the same time.

No, it is not an act of war. Article 51 of the UN Charter explicitly grant right to self defence. Inviting other nations to assist in that defence is a right granted by the UN Charter. Iran can obviously consider Ukranian personal as hostile, that is their prerogative, but that does not mean that shooting down drone in self defence is an act of war.

Ukraine is not at war with Iran. Ukraine is helping defend against Iran attach to countries around Iran. The US is attaching Iran. The US asked no help to Ukraine.

BTW, the US aid didn’t stop since the Epstein class of senators did approve 600 mill plan of military aid for Ukraine in 2026.

As of today 0 dollars are coming to Ukraine as the president has effectively stalled them

Helping puppet states (like gulf monarchies) and interfering with other regions warfare just proves that this Ukraine regime is another puppet for western imperialism.

Helping some independent states (not western) to defend themself is proof of western imperialism? Sure thing… you are making a lot of sense.

And you continue to ignore that the US stopped support for Ukraine as soon as the epstein class came to power, that Trump attacked Zelensky numerous times, tried to force a peace deal drafted by Russia onto Ukraine (demanding recognition of occupied territories and more), and the suspension of Intelligence and Residual support (now provided directly by Ukraine and France as Primary alternative provider).

Helping Gulf states is instrumental is creating defence partnership that fuel Ukraine war economy against Russia. This is done as the US is not supporting Ukraine anymore and is arguable more favorable to Russia (easing of sanction to Russia, normalizing Russia-US economy cooperation, and redirecting military supply paid by Europe for Ukraine to domestic needs instead)

What you say is just false.

Trump explicitly rejected help from Ukraine with drone defence. And he has done so multiple times. The help Ukraine is given is to UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Jordan, not the US.

If both statement are the same to you then every country that sells weapons to israel is a legitimate target for resistance movement ( like the EU )

Sure, I will not find it problematic if Russia decided to enact defensive measure in Gaza to protect palestine against weapon sold by European nations. I actually would encourage it. I would also encourage any nation to come to the defence of any nation that is a target of an aggressive conquest war from the EU. None materialized as of now for the EU, but for sure I have no problem whatsoever with Russia defending Iran against American aggression. I have problems with Russia being the aggressor.

EDIT: I want to also add that after 2023 numerous EU countries enacted arms embargoes against Israeil. Iran started supplying the drone to Russia after the invasion and to support the invasion. That is a worthy enough difference to me.

Ukraine has no business defending against the same drones Iran used to bomb Ukranian cities during Russia invasion of Ukraine?

Maybe I am missing something here. Does not look like Ukraine is part of the aggressor here.

This metaphor is not good enough. Stormy weather is an inevitable reality. Poisoned propaganda media landscape and billionaires oligarchy are not. Let’s focus on the real issue please

And nothing will change if we do not recognize that a perfect dem campaign will do nothing to fix years of Fox News indoctrinated fascists.

It is not dem establishment job or fault. Stop this farse. There is tons of people today that votes for the GOP despite the voter suppression, the genocide, sex trafficking of minors and systemic destruction of the constitution of the US. There has never been a clearer case for voting anything but the GOP. The voters are evil idiots.

Lack of respect for reality to appease a fascist child is not working.

The US has enjoyed a strong alliance with Europe for decades. US and European economies are interconnected and interdependent. Europe expect the US to behave like an ally, the current Trump government does not.

Trump is hostile to Europe, but the entire American apparatus, soft and hard power, economic influence was built on this alliance. This makes the US more dangerous, more unpredictable then Russia. That makes the US a bigger threat, because the US can cause so much more damage to Europe. The US is actively supporting the only undemocratic government in the EU that fully support Russia against Europe.

Russia is killing European, Russia is committing war crimes every days, Russia is conquering Europe, Russia is destabilizing European democracies, Russia is spreading hate and misinformation.

Russia is a more direct and explicit threat to Europe then the US. The US has the capacity to do much more damage because Europe is integrated and dependent on the US then it is with Russia.

Same compromise I made when I bought the base range version of my car with LFP chemistry. But I would not go lower in range than that. LFP is already much safer than any gasoline engine. I would like sodium just for the reliable range on low temperatures. Probably in the next years we will reach comparable density for sodium.

Battery density is energy per kilos. The problem is not only were to put the battery, but also the added weight.

The article above seems to be on the side that to indiscriminately target civilian infrastructure is a war crime. The wording of the article can be confusing for sure.
