Topic: The Europansies have an easy lever to back Ukraine.

Russia seized Western businesses and assets. So fuck them. Let the $200 billion in seized Russian oligarch assets buy Ukraine new missiles and an Air Force. Instead Europeans would rather put up with intrusions, sabotage, hacking, and an autocrat on their periphery. Meanwhile the EU Bank authorized something like 30 million Euros in loans for defense projects.

The west is in decline. Hopefully it will give the global south some breathing room to develop.

When? How? They’re corrupt export economies. The elites there don’t have the vision most of the time to seize higher positions in the value stream.

The most developed countries have the lowest birth rates, economies don’t grow when the population doesn’t grow. Just look at Japan for example, they have a low birth rate and no immigration and they have no economic growth. Since people are living longer and having fewer kids, and anti immigration politics are becoming more popular in white majority countries, after a certain point it’s just math. If you have a significantly declining population, where a large portion of the population is elderly retired people who don’t work, and social security is funded by a shrinking population of young people, the economy collapses. You can’t be rich and not exist. It doesn’t matter what your perception of the global south is, if you look at the data, their economies are smaller than western economies, but they’re growing much faster than western economies are. After a certain point, the math is just going to work out that way.

The Dutch would rather buy Russian gas than use the gas beneath their feet.

The Dutch are so great with natural resources, they named a disease after it!

I mean, I guess I can understand, the Netherlands is a small country and who wants to live near an oil rig? They probably just want to grow their little Dutch flowers and be happy. Although, if they let Russia win, they’re all gonna die. Although, they’re one of those hippie dippie European countries that’s okay with assisted suicide, so maybe that’s okay.
