Putin looks like he already injected some cushions to soften the blow

Personally I think Russians should put Zalinsky and Putin in an arena and let them fight it out to decide things. See if Putin still wants war after he gets punched in the face.

Ukraine's just the new afghanistan i guess. always getting invaded. everyone who's not there just going "oh no. how tragic. something must be done"

something is not done.

then the outrage machine moves on to something else

It's not the EU, or anyone outside of Russia, who would 'unleash WWIII'. It's the aggressor's choice, since they started ALL of this, whether that occurs. They could definitively stop this RIGHT NOW by just telling their troops to go home.

No one in the EU wants a war. The aggressors come from elsewhere.

Addition:

Macron promises new Russia sanctions, discusses French nuclear deterrent for Europe

>Macron added that the goal of Ukraine, France, and allied European countries is a ceasefire "on land, in the air and at sea... (and) to discuss the issue of territories and security guarantees." ...

>The French president also said he was “ready to open a discussion” with allied European countries about stationing France’s nuclear weapons on their territory as a deterrent against Russian aggression ...

We don't wanna, but if you push us hard enough, we'll eventually have to go up to the attic and open our dust-covered chest of depressing history.
