The Germans on their own sure can, they can ignore US sanctions, it remains to be seen if they will. But if you're just going to disregard your own allies, how are you supposed to create the now much needed unity?

Well then I'm afraid that your 'hope' is in vain. https://euobserver.com/tickers/138246 http://www.dw.com/en/new-us-russia-sanctions-bill-risks-eu-anger/a-39867060 https://www.thelocal.de/20170731/germany-calls-for-reaction-to-illegal-us-sanctions-on-russia

Is Europe willing to make those sacrifices for your so called 'peace'?

Too bad that the new sanction are possibly going to harm Europe as well.

It is really hard to defeat an ideology, destroy the taliban, something else will take it's place. No matter how hard you bomb them, I'm afraid.

What I was trying to say is that the Eastern Ukrainians are the main fighting force and that most of their equipment came from Ukrainian stocks. If they wouldn't be picking up...

Well, Eastern-Germans were fleeing the country en masse and were protesting, before beign put down. Wait and see untill this happens, we could be waiting a long time. Nope, they are indeed struggling, also with the Ukrainians cutting electricity. Now democracy is further gone too. They still...
