POV: You’re a young European LSWM physically capable of running a mile while carrying a gun, a month after Trump withdrew his last troops from the Baltics:
It’s ugly to me, to see people speak in terms of “white” and “non-white”, because it implies that there are people to be found in America, who are in some way of equivalent value to our cherished young European men. Have you ever seen these bloated bodies? Have you ever heard the idiocy uttered by their fluoride-poisoned brains? If you believe they are in any way your equals, I pray that God may finally bless you with some self-respect.
When you cross that cold dark foreboding ocean, an act of foolishness most often committed in the blind pursuit of mammon, the soil on which you set foot begins to transform you into something else entirely. And what may eventually return to us, if you make it back alive, is not what we waved farewell to. If you must venture off into that evil land, promise us that you will only return when you can bring back home the orange scalp.
They’re not our equals. And if, God forbid, the day comes, when Trump withdraws his troops from the Baltic states, leaving nations of a few million people to face the hungry Russian bear on their own, the Americans will have revealed to the world what they are.
When they choose to abandon us, do not ever, under any circumstances, forgive them.
You know who inspires me?
I’ll tell you. I have explained most of this before, but I wish to repeat it for you.
This is Loreta Asanavičiūtė. A Lithuanian seamstress, who died at age 23, her body crushed by a Soviet tank in January 1991, near the Vilnius TV tower.
In 1940 her nation was forcibly annexed by the Soviet Union, under the beast Stalin. But in November 1988, Estonia was the first Soviet republic to declare its full sovereignty, within the Soviet Union. Then in 1990, Lithuania went a step further and declared that its annexation into the Soviet Union had been illegal. On march 11, 1990 they declared their independence.
The Soviet Union reacted with a harsh economic blockade. This caused dramatic inflation, but ultimately did not work to quell the independence movement.
A few months later, in January 1991, shit officially hit the fan. On January the 10th, Gorbachev declared that the constitution of the USSR had to be restored in Lithuania and all anti-constitutional laws had to be revoked. The next day, Soviet troops began seizing key infrastructure in Lithuania.
Unarmed(!) civilians physically blocked access to these buildings throughout the capital city. You can see some of them here, blocking the Lithuanian press house. These people were shot by troops, as the troops seized the press house.
But people from all over Lithuania continued to go to the capital city, to physically block the most important buildings: The Supreme Council, the Radio and Television Committee, the Vilnius TV Tower and the main telephone exchange.
On the 13th of January, tanks and soldiers surrounded the Vilnius TV tower. Soviet soldiers fired live munition at the armed crowds and tanks drove straight into the crowd. Fourteen people died as a result. Two people were crushed by the tanks, another twelve people were shot. The live television broadcast that people could follow at home ended with pictures on people’s television set, of a soldier physically turning off the camera.
But then a few minutes later, a different television channel suddenly came on air. It called for anyone who could help, to broadcast to the world in as many different languages as possible about the Soviet army and tanks killing unarmed people in Lithuania.
After these attacks, large crowds of tens of thousands of Lithuanians gathered around the Supreme Soviet Council building. They began building anti-tank barricades and setting up defenses inside the building itself. These were regular civilians. The crowd prayed, sang and shouted pro-independence slogans. The Soviet military surrounded them, but ultimately retreated instead of attacking the building, which would have resulted in mass death.
Who were the victims? Who were these people crushed by tanks and shot by soldiers? Loreta Asanavičiūtė is the most well-known victim. Others were students, a metal worker, a butcher, a plumber and a locksmith. Regular working class people, for whom the system was officially set up to work. But they wanted freedom and gave their lives for it.
After these events became known, the Soviet Union was condemned by another state with heavy rumblings, Poland, as well as by Norway. In other cities in the Soviet Union people began setting up barricades too. A few weeks later, Iceland became the first nation to officially establish diplomatic relations with newly independent Lithuania.
A few months later, the Soviet Union descended into true chaos, as communist hardliners in August attempted a coup against Gorbachev. The coup ultimately failed, but left Gorbachev and the communist party with no real power. Bush in the US then declared that military force against Lithuania would be met with military force from the United States.
And so Lithuania, a nation of three and a half million people, won independence from a country of 286 million, setting the stage for the other Baltic states to follow, along with the other Soviet republics. They won their freedom, without murdering people, but by putting their own lives on the line.
It’s easy to write blog posts. Why do I write them? To train my mind. I want my mind to be prepared for the prospect of a Russian assault on our allies, our fellow Europeans in the three Baltic states. I hope, that if the time comes, I can help my country live up to the promise that we made to these three nations, when they became members of NATO.
You have to train your mind first, because your mind has to do the job, of preparing your body. And at the bare minimum, I want to at least understand, what would lead people in these nations to give their lives, to win freedom from the Soviet empire, when Putin was still a young KGB agent, a freedom that is now under threat again.
Cynicism is often an excuse for weakness, decadence and passivity. Your own city is too brown, there are too many Muslims driving cars into crowds in your country, all the girls have an onlyfans, so you might as well stand by idly as Russia reestablishes the Soviet empire.
Well, in that case, I would say, once you enter heaven, be sure to bow down before 15 year old Lithuanian Arminas Pileckas and kiss his feet first. His parents say he was stabbed to death by a 14 year old Arab asylum seeker in Sweden, who sexually harassed a girl in his class.
The Estonians, the Latvians, the Lithuanians, they are our people. The Americans, are decidedly not.
When I go to the gym to train my muscles, I close my eyes and think only of Loreta.
Our parents were weak and taught us to be weak. They turned weakness into a social norm: Let the Earth die, let your people die, let your traditions die, eat a happy meal, go to disneyland, sign up for a thirty year mortgage and make sure you have a fancier car than your neighbor.
That’s normal to them. But when you yearn to find something more meaningful in life, something greater to aspire to, they will call you an “extremist”.
But I hope you, the young European men reading this, will be all that you can be.
We only have each other and there is nobody coming to bail us out.
I’m not asking you to save the world.
I’m asking you to remember how it feels, to be alone, betrayed by people you believed were your friends.
And I’m asking you, to help make sure our brethren will not have to go through that.
What you are saying is that peaceful demonstrations work. Which is true. Which is why trying to get the U.S. to fight wars for Europe is not the answer. Peaceful demonstrations often involve a tragic loss of life, but nothing like the loss of life due to a war.
Today is David Goggins’ 50th birthday. He is a former Navy SEAL, U.S. Army Ranger and ultramarathon runner. Happy birthday David. You are my hero. Let all the European LSWMs reading this comment take inspiration/motivation from this video featuring David, in the event that they may have to go to war against Russia:

My country is militarily neutral and not a member of NATO. So I probably won’t be dying in a ditch in Latvia. No, I’ll be much more likely to die from a TB syndemic caused by the woke vaxxtards.

“The Buddha famously said that life is suffering. I’m not a Buddhist, but I know what he meant and so do you. To exist in this world, we must contend with humiliation, broken dreams, sadness, and loss.” – David Goggins
“People take classes on self-help, mental toughness, breathing control – the only way to get tougher is to put yourself in hellacious situations.” – David Goggins
“A lot of us don’t know about another world that exists for us because it’s on the other side of suffering. That’s the real growth in life.” – David Goggins

Lithuania, Estonia and co can go f. themself. If they want a fight with Russian let them have it but alone without Europe. We have other problems now, to remove the african und muslim scums.
You have a low IQ.
To be honest less than half of the people in this entire comment section have demonstrated human-level cognition.
Coco, are you russian or do you just love to lick the saliva from Putins mouth?
Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic States are the bulwark against the communistic barbarians. So we must help them just to prevent that we end under russian surpression in Europe soon. People like you should be arrested and deported to concentration camps right now. We don’t need russian saboteurs here in Europe. You are a zersetzer. Zersetzer is a german term and means a human who works or sympathizes for the enemy and is against his own people.
We need a european army now. Rheinmetall and BAE Systems should build more factories asap. We need tanks, and men under armour right now or we will surrender in 10 years. Europe now has to fight for its survival, and that are really good news. We must wake up. Germany and UK will lead.
Sorry, but a European Army comprising mostly French and Germans, would instinctively march on Russia and then surrender. Sweden too. They just can’t help themselves.
The Balties should learn to tone it down and make nice with the Russians. Today’s Russians are not your granfather’s Soviets.
The Baltic ruling elite are hereditary fascists descended from the Jew-killers that ran away from the Red Army, and were offered sanctuary in the West for decades. Then the traitor idiot Gorbachev allowed them back in, along with US subversion experts (eg USAID), and they engineered a Colour Revolution. One of their first acts was top prosecute an elderly Jewish woman for murder, because she killed Nazis and Lithuanian fascists as a partisan during WW2. Lithuanian murders of Jews were so grotesque that they even outraged the Germans.
Today, the Lithuanian elites are simply psycho fascists, Russophobes to a suicidal degree, the creature Kallas, now an EU potentate, recently declaring her aim was to see Russia broken up into several statelets, like Yugoslavia was. And they made enemies with China, too, out of anti-communist mania and that raw racism we so often see on the far, far, Right.Fuck them all, says I.
Richard, I am assuming that you are presently personally fighting in Ukraine and are posting from your combat position. Otherwise you are a pathetic chickenhawk warmonger. Could you describe for us how your war experience is going?
Germany isn’t going to be building anything; without Russian gas they are now deindustrializing. They are barely making cars anymore, let along tanks.
Natos been talking about stopping Russian ships from going through the Baltic the last couple of days. I guess Kaliningrad is about to kick off. Suck to be European, I guess.
Trying to sell this fairy tale of Russia wanting to take over the world is dumb and lazy. Putin complained for years to not push agreed-upon limits and only acted as a last resort. The way to peace isn’t through war, Biden got us into this mess and that didn’t have to happen. It’s horrible that millions of Ukrainians died but that’s what Biden and team Europe pushed for and the way out is not more war. Time to accept a neutral Ukraine and to move on.
Thankfully, someone else said it, so I don’t have to.
BS. Russian is the aggressor. Take a look at any history book for the last 100 years. Communistic propaganda has destroyed your gray substance in your head I assume.
Putin is a fucking liar and faker, he always was, and will ever be. Hope he dies soon. I hope it for the russian people who have to solve their problems accumulated over the last 300 yrs. So they just should hang him up on the next lantern, problem solved, world will be happy, back to normal life.
Listen I voted for Kamala, Dick Cheney’s pick, I didn’t want this.
The Soviet soldiers, most of them certainly Russian, ultimately decided to respect human life, even at the cost of the demise of their own country. Well done. As the U.S.-Western Europe hegemony crumbles, we can only hope their minions will possess such forbearance and humanity.

(Great remark)
Man, Europeans truly are crabs in a bucket. You can’t even help it, and you can’t possibly be grateful for all the protection and resources we’ve secured for you. This, because we left you in the dust and became jealously dedicated to something completely new that worked incredibly well for quite some time. You had to hate us to preserve your own sense of specialness and exceptionalism. And, back when you kept your cultures, it was fair enough. But, now that Europe is a deracinated, globalist retardscape, it has nothing exceptional left to draw from. So half of Europe is envious, and half of it is looking jealously at the current American peojevt. The American Empire has tasted failure ans the envious Europoor naysayers must come out to point and laugh. Well, go ahead. Laugh. We are just going to sweep it all back into a heap and try again. We won’t even be daunted, because it is our temperament to do so. Indeed, that exact temperament is why we all left Europe in the first place.
We will fail for some time. But, we will keep trying. When we re-emerge, it will be beautiful. And we will do it without giga-vaxxed Europe if you continue to insist upon hating us.
Europeans do not hate Americans, dummy.
Europeans have merely paid attention to what’s going on and correctly deduced the truth: Almost all Americans are self-absorbed liars.
You only make my point, retard.
“Indeed, that exact temperament is why we all left Europe in the first place.”
My ancestors also left Europe a long time ago to sail for a couple of months on a small boat eating and drinking stale food and water. Half died on the voyage. Then they arrived and there wasn’t even an inn at which they could stay. For a long time I couldn’t fathom why. Honestly, I resented them for having done so.
Now though? I understand. Europe seems so stifling and seemingly heading to their own extinction. Heck, Mélenchon is celebrating that fact. Thierry Breton is proud of being able to overrule elections. Though, admittedly, ignoring the will of the people is a very EU thing to do.
Though I sincerely hope they’ll get their act together. Please.
I desperately want good things for Europe. It’s a shame that they’re so broken and have such tall poppy syndrome that they can’t want that for us.
I just came back from a trip to Los Angeles. The experience somehow changed me, although I cant put my finger on what it is exactly that attracts me. Its not mammon – that I know.
Europe seems boring compared. Not talking about how this socialist utopia here extracts every possible motivation to work by redistributing a third or even half of what you get to brown people – no. Its not the diverse mix of people either as Im living in the middle of Europe in a small country which already had a lot of Immigration before 2016 – no.
The people are friendlier there. Not only the ones you see on Rodeo Drive or Venice beach, also the bus driver that took me out of Skid Row at midnight for free when he realized I dont have any cash for paying the ride.
Have you ever been to the US Rad? I wasnt even interested in visiting the States myself. American foreign politics is a huge turnoff I agree. But when a friend with whom I studied in Israel invited me I just had to go.
And yes as you said it somehow transforms you into something else entirely.
I live in LA, but am from the south. LA is unfriendly by comparison. It lacks richness of culture by comparison.
Every person from Europe or other Euro diasporas like Australia (my husband is Aussie) that I’ve ever introduced to my country, has come away loving it. Rintrah will probably never come here, because he is too afraid he might love it. If he does, he won’t do it earnestly. He will never give it a chance. So, instead, he marinates in mainstream media narratives about us.
It’s funny, I was thinking about how pathetic it is that that childless, globalist, corrupt, mostly sexual deviant, “leadership” of Europe is self-immolating by trying to start world war three against Russia before Trump can make a peace deal with Putin, but that surely the rank and file European man, with the most lose here, would be up in arms about their leadership actually saying out loud “we don’t want peace, we want war.” Then I came here and read this…
How do you accurately unwrap all the history that the CNN and BBC don’t tell people? I mean Ukraine had never existed as a country, ever, until 1991. That’s not really that long ago, but people act like its been there forever with some kind of unique and distinct history and culture, just like France. How do you explain what happened there during and after WWII before, during, and after Nazi occupation?
I guess you can’t. So Europeans can go die in a trench for Zelensky if it makes them feel better.
Perhaps this is “Trump Derangement Syndrome” taken to its ultimate level: If Trump wants peace, then peace must be fucking horrible and we WANT WAR!!!!! So they rush off to fight, and kill and die safely knowing that at least it’s not what Trump wants.
In fact, historically Russia IS Ukraine. The capital of Russia was Kiev for a long time.
It was just the madness of the socialist Hitler and communist Stalin which drew the distinction. That madness is now in the corpo-socialist EU
Actually, modern Ukrainian nationalism goes back farther, to the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, when that multinational state wanted to head off any pan-Russian (and therefore separatist) nationalism by creating a strong identity for the East Slavs within their borders (then known as Ruthenians) as being distinct from the Russian empire.
I’m not equipped to evaluate all the officially sponsored “Ukrainian” scholarship that developed as a consequence, but it certainly had a slant and an agenda, and as a result it is these formerly Habsburg/Austrian/A-H lands of what became the western part of Soviet Ukraine that are the base of the most virulent nationalism and hatred of Muscovite Russia.
Quote: “Perhaps this is “Trump Derangement Syndrome” taken to its ultimate level: If Trump wants peace, then peace must be fucking horrible and we WANT WAR!!!!!”
European (so-called) leaders have invested a lot in anti-Trumpism, pro-democracy (lol) and pro-independence (LOOOL) so they can’t back out now so easily, or their voters will realize how hypocrites they are.
Also, they probably have some projects of their own (like Biden family had).
However, if one doesn’t have a goldfish memory, should remember the V. Nuland reaction when more renowned European leaders (like Merckel) wanted to have a say in Ukraine: “F@ck the EU”, the previous decade.
J.D. Vance (and Trump) was much more kind.
They just complain because Vance stated the obvious, sensible things, revealing the Gaslighting from the EU & Co.
Who would ever say “Oh yes sorry, we’ve been gaslighting you all along. Oops”? None.
The Neocons got stopped by Trump. Now they shifted their focus to the EU. Just look how the EU is behaving compared to the previous 4 years.
Wtf… mund blown.
If you hate aryans who live in America so much, why do you go so far out of your way to write all of your articles in the common tongue of aryan-americans?
As usual, you seem a little confused.
Listen, today it is the EU which is the evil empire. You hate the USSR? Good. Then hate the EU for its continuous colonial expansionism.
Sorry, I’m already over here in Europe. I know Europeans have grown increasingly concerned about immigration from backwards, third-world shitholes such as the United States, but I’ll be good I promise.
>I know Europeans have grown increasingly concerned about immigration from backwards, third-world shitholes such as the United States,
Lmao
America, esp. small town America, is much more European than Europe.
Europe has lovely usually free higher education, but they really lack a common cause, as J.D. Vance said.
Instead of whining that a war which wrecked Ukraine and Europe (have you forgotten the blow up of NordStream??) is ending, they should go in fight-mode, like China and USA.
But for worth-fighting causes. Not for the plots of NATO!
P.S. No, really, have you forgotten Nuland’s “f@ck the EU”, and the blow up of Nord Stream?? Are you so void of self respect???
Yeah, guys with a hate-boner for America will point only to the fattest faggots and not the quality people still living there, and the guys out to solve the problems like Vance. They are our equals, simply because they’re our genetic relatives. Behavior is downstream from biology. (besides who does Europe have to equal Vance or Trump? Who is here to solve our problems? Macron? Lmao.)
I like Rintrah, but his hate boner for the USA is certainly irrational. He talks about how America is le bad because he FEELS like Vance wants Europe to be an open-air theme park (a problem that exists in Rin’s head only), but will claim the japanese are “our friends” because they have an actual theme park built to resemble a dutch town. Within the same post he mentions how they didn’t trust the dutch when they warned them Americans were attacking. Friends trust friends. It’s what defines friendship.
America-haters will frequently use those double standards and emotional projections. The same type will often have an irrational boner for the niggers, the japanese, and/or the indians (both the american ones and the pajeets). That’s one kind of anti-american, the “weakness lover”. Alternatively there’s the “strength lover” who felates the soviets, the chinese, and the muslims. Both easily slip into naked anti-whiteness, but the latter is arguably worse, since there are such people in actual power, those being the majority of the russian leadership.
Precisely.
Only simps don’t pull for their own group interest. The only thing that changes is what they’re simping for.
This tendency is at the heart of the globalist European project and the United Colors of Benetton Hands Across The World mentality of Gen-X Europeans. U2 is on repeat in Rin’s head forever.
>America, esp. small town America, is much more European than Europe.
This isn’t actually the case. America is far more diverse than any European country. Even Sweden is still 76% European.
I meant culturally, not racially.
Europe has lost its heritage, especially through embracing shallow religions, such as radical secularism. Hence the implosion-decay.
America isn’t more culturally European than Europe either. America is a syncretic culture. We take the names of our lands from the Native Americans, our food is bastardized from every culture on the planet. I go on a walk in my low status white male village full of racist low status white males who foam at the mouth when Mexicans are mentioned and and I still see Buddha statues, Gay Pride flags, and Native American totems; as-well as the trucks plastered with Punisher Skulls and Trumpian propaganda.
America was founded as a secular Republic, and Americans don’t really take religion more seriously than Europeans as a whole. Religion itself doesn’t imply Europeaness obviously, and the serious American Christians are fire and brimstone Evangelicals which is a tradition mostly unique to America.
Our land is covered in Native American burial grounds and their spirits rather than Christian Saints and Monarchs. We are not connected to our European roots. Our immigrants lose the ability to speak their native tongues in favor of English and do not stay in contact with their European family members or their family traditions. We celebrate a fat guy with a beard who runs a factory instead of Christ on Christmas.
Americans voted for the billionaire who’s campaign revolved around cutting aid away from the poor, so it’s not like my people are living under the traditional ethos of Christianity even in a secular way. Americans as a whole worship one thing really, and that’s money.
I actually love my country despite its many flaws, but no we are not more culturally European than Europe. I actually enjoy the cultural diversity here. There is no need for us to be Europe, we just need to be better in our own way.
3% of Americans are vegan while 5% of Dutch don’t eat rotting animal corpses so we’re not that much more profligate than Europe as a people; the people running our government and corporations are just especially evil and Americans are especially stupid due to how shit our education system is.
>who’s campaign
whose
Americans still have communities. The implosion of radical secularism into radical individualism has wiped out the sense of community in Europe.
Our host subconsciously feels that void (hence his pessimism) so he’s trying to make a heroic deed.
Ironically, the European “leaders” are letting the Turks do that, i.e. go against peace and the “bad” Russians.
To sum up, I explicitly said “small town” America. 90% of the counties are red. They maybe less than half of the total population, but the communities still exist there, and people care about them and want to give something back to their communities. And generally Americans are against big state and the Federation ruling the lives of local communities. In that sense, they are more Europeans than us.
I have lived in Brussels for 3 years and I think they are no more European than big American cities.
There are still some communities in rural France, and other countries, but the general feeling is that Paris, London etc decide for everyone. That’s wrong.
Btw, I don’t understand what would Russia earn from conquering the Baltic States. No profit, only loss: lives, diplomatic capital, public image, billions of dollars, weapons, sanctions, trade loss, ethnic cleansing of local Russians…
Russia’s best bet is if NATO dissolved somehow. That would really help her security. Attacking the Balts unprovoked would only bring catastrophe.
Now, simply geographically speaking, it is for the interest of the entire Eastern Europe to be in good terms with the Eurasian giant.
Anthropology wise too, as Slavs and Balts belong to the same linguistic and anthropological family.
Russia doesn’t want Europe. It wants its own sovereignty and it wants to do fair business. Not saying the Ruskis don’t have their schemes. But the rhetoric about Putin is insane, chiefly because there is a clear pattern of Western/NATO escalation (including us blowing up the pipeline) that led right up to this very moment). Russia’s reaction is not a fucking mystery… But, people firmly entrenched in Cold War ideations are foaming at the mouth and not in the right state of mind to render a dispassionate Geopolitical analysis.
If you want to physically and mentally prepare for war, go beyond the gym.
If you have a yard, spend a night in your yard, outside your home. Using a shovel, dig a hole 3×1 meters, 1.5m deep. A bonus would be if it is raining or snowing. You can use gloves to hold the shovel as otherwise you would need to stop too quickly.
Just do that and see how you feel afterwards.
People who have never been part of war have literally no idea what it is like (myself included, though I was briefly in the Soviet army, but not during any hostilities and it was not bad)
Soviet army, 1991, Kharkov, USSR.
I am on the right in this picture:
http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/Army-With-Misha.jpg
i had an impressively unimpressive army reserve career, and while i won’t say the training i got turned me into a super-soldier, 10 days in the field is a lot less fun than you’d imagine.
Imagining randomly going outside in the rain to dig a body-sized hole in the garden next to your apartment building, and then when someone comes over and asks you what you’re doing you just look them in the eye and growl, “PREPARING FOR WAR”
I don’t get the point of this essay, but then again I’m a dumb LSWM.
You’re not really conflating the foreign policy of Stalinist Russia with its current one, are you?
What I get from it instead is that once more it turns out that communism is revealed as the worst thing to ever befell humanity, in both its old school Stalin and contemporary globohomo import-the-third-world forms. Brought to you by the same Bolshevik types.
To be honest, I sometimes wonder whether their ancestors were smarter than ours (I’m British by the way). Imagine finding out that there was a new country on the other side of the Atlantic which was destined to basically stretch from one ocean to another (and all you had to do was step on a boat and go there). You knew they were begging for immigrants and once you arrived, you would be a citizen. No paperwork, no hoops, no special skills – just a willingness to work and pay your dues. No more squabbles over limited space and resources, no more wars with your neighbours, no more monarchs and entrenched aristocracies – just endless lands which you could settle and raise your descendants in peace. Imagine being offered something to that calibre and just saying “no thanks, I’m good”.
Communism is a pernicious virus; it thrives in misery and easy academia, so wherever there is a first-world infrastructure to serve the population, there you find communists holed up in the institutions. They are like termites, rotting the structure.
For those who look at America and perceive its highest wisdoms to be on bumper stickers and yard signs, consider that much of America is behind the door and in the living room, garage, or workshop, out of observation. Underestimate that stoic nation at your risk.
Best you can do Rintrah is visit the US and travel the backroads. You’ll see a world that may temper your depression and pessimism. Visit the churches along the way–all the different denominations. You’ll be welcomed widely, if not universally. See how many accents you can differentiate per 100 miles.
They are not our equal. But they must come and save us. And if they don’t, we want to kill their President.
Is that the kind of wisdom that comes from getting high on herbs?
Good news! European won’t have to die for Ukraine or the Baltics afterall. The Turks will die for you! (with some European weapons nevertheless).
https://www.turkishminute.com/2025/02/18/ukraines-territorial-integrity-is-nonnegotiable-for-turkey-erdogan-says4/
I hope you see the irony.
It won’t be the first time Europeans use the Turks against Russia. Only 170 years back, Crimean War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_War
I hope the (Orthodox) Ukrainians will realise what a snake their wannabe new bestie (EU) really is.
