This is the right answer

I would say it more like “forms of propaganda (lies) that extreme right wing parties are willing to stoop to that left wing parties are not”.

While I don’t disagree with you in principle, the reality of having only 1 political party after this also doesn’t look particularly good.

The war will be over only when Russia suffers a full, crippling, embarrassing defeat and not a moment sooner. This is and always has been the truth of dealing with Russia. To that end the maximum possible force should be used in order to save lives and damage to Ukraine.

Exactly. And in the absence of power someone will step in to take over.

Someone will take that mantle. Someone always does. And, that being the case, it should be the E.U.

But go and try to explain how that needs to happen to Putin, Xi, and Trump and see how far you get.

No one ever said there’s a net benefit. It’s just what ends up happening one way or another. Achieving a perfect balance of power between every nation on the earth has never happened in history.

Power abhors a vacuum.

The E.U. should rule the world.
