      To be honest, I think that the same Gulf countries would have been attacked anyway, the goal of Iran is to put pression on the US, they would have just find another excused instead of the US bases.

    Well they are right. But to be honest I think we should have shuttered most of our foreign bases long ago.

    Are we not already ready? The command structures exist. Does anyone have an analysis about the Russian strength in comparison to the EU? Apart from nukes, what can Russia add in comparison to the war in Ukraine that could threaten the EU?

    Europe and Ukraine has the best opportunity to do the funniest thing:

    Make a NUG-like organization but for leading all USA people and military under their own command

        Myanmar NUG is an overseas organization consisting of the former party that won the democracy election that would have brought full democracy to Myanmar but were ousted by the countries military via a coup.

        Since 2021 they have coordinated PDF, EAO’s, and even people on their side to fight against the Myanmar junta.

        They were close to winning last year but other countries around it and around the world (traitorous rats) started helping the junta get all kinds of stuff so now its tougher than before.

        The sooner NUG gets more help too the better.

        Overall though, that NUG-like model can be used by Ukraine and EU to get USA forces and even USA civvies under their own command which is best thing overall since current USA command is compromised.

        Its one of the best options among many others that others have been throwing around
