Right, and the European leaders know of course that the Western backed Maidan coup in 2014 triggered the war in Ukraine ten years later. So how come that they go on deceiving their obviously ignorant population that Russia unprovoked attacked Ukraine?

And imagine if Trump is being assassinated or soon dies.

I don't think that the Trump loyalists, Vance, Hegseth , Rubio, etc. , - of course Biden and all leaders are surrounded with loyalists, - will or can continue Trump draining the sump. And we will back to the old warmongering US- EU world (dis)order alliance escalating the world towards nuclear war with Russia, etc. Not funny to consider that relatively world peace may dependent of Trump.

This war began much further back than 2014. In fact it was almost 35 years ago that the agreement put in place guaranteed this was totally avoidable but the US and Europe kept adding NATO members when the deal signed 35 years ago stated no new members would be added. Time to get facts straight.

Excellent discussion. Pavel's question of nation states being used as weapons by external forces is worthy of extensive discussion. It's an old and universal problem, with 1) smaller nations and nation states, and 2) those on "the periphery" often being used by and wanting to be used by other nations. How does or how can the internation order, and IR theory, deal with this besides abstracting away?
