Re: <nettime> Stormy weather?

it makes a difference though if it's proxy war or not:

- if it's a struggle for a nation's survival, one should probably follow 
the advice of RAND and go for negotiations asap (as the war looks 
increasingly unwinable, according to their recent report).

- if it's a proxy war, the West may keep sending as many weapons as 
possible with the aim to "ruin Russia" (Baerbock). Regrettably, this 
entails the sacrifice of many more Ukrainian soldiers, most likely 
without achieving the goal.

To get back to what De-Colonizing Western Europe could mean: for example 
the sovereign freedom to choose one's sources of energy, and to sue 
so-called "friends" for damage compensation for the pipeline blown up in 
an act of state terrorism.

Or one may ask chatGPT for a more comfortable geopolitical assessment.
