Positive thinking not based on rationality is fake.. because it still stems from negative thinking projected as positive.. it just doesn't work..

That is why the Ukraine war will continue until the final outcome.
And rational thinking community within this forum understand what will be the endgame.
Disinformation cannot win a war for Zalensky. It may created negative opinion against the Russian but at the same time burn a big hole in tbeir pocket.
Asians choose the middle path and we are neither the winner nor the loser.
We only hope that the economic war of attrition won't affects us as much as they are affecting the parties involved.
There can only be one loser but they won't acknowledge it today.
So they choose Positive Thinking as the way forward. As you says, it is not working for th either.

Oops, it looks like Judea-controlled Ukraine is finally exposing itself. Many of the forces hold up in Azovtal are Jews. There are many more who have not been unacknowledged yet.

If true, that would be a very sensible move from EU. The well being of their citizen is numero uno priority.
Europe to activate Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline very soon

On 22nd February, Germany decided to freeze the ‘Nord Stream 2’ gas pipeline which was beneficial to the whole of Europe as it can double the flow of Russian gas direct to Germany and Europe.
Now, the whole of Europe is in turmoil. Last week, it was reported that Ukraine has partially halted gas supplies to Europe. Ukraine on Tuesday said that it would suspend operations of the Novopskov compressor station that delivers around a third of gas piped from Russia to Europe via Ukraine.

European Union comes up with a clever plan (to bypass its own sanctions on Russia)
This is a huge setback for the European gas industry because Ukraine’s assistance is pivotal for its overall energy security. The Ukraine gas transit system in the Luhansk region accounts for the supply of around 32.6 million cubic meters of Russian gas every day to Europe.
If the Novopskov compressor station in the Luhansk region of eastern Ukraine remains inoperative for a longer period, then we could see yet another phase of the fuel price spike in the European Continent. So, this move by Ukraine could very well trigger Europe to rethink its decision of suspending Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
There are chances of acute gas shortages and chances of a recession hitting the entire continent. The decision to avoid Russian gas and fuel has to be the silliest mistake the bloc has ever done.
But, now Europe is coming back to its senses as nations have started softening their stances in the war. Furthermore, several members of the bloc are reluctant to impose more sanctions on Russia. Slowly and steadily, the chances are rising that Europe may soon think to re-activate the Nord Stream 2 project.
Potential of The Project
The Nord Stream 2 is an underwater twin pipeline with a length of 1,230 kilometers, it follows the route of the existing Nord Stream twin pipeline underneath the Baltic Sea with a capacity to run 110 billion cubic meters of gas a year.
Once completed, the Gazprom could have easily sent gas to Europe’s pipeline system without using existing pipelines running through Ukraine and Poland.

It could have lowered the costs to European pockets by saving transit fees paid to Ukraine and avoiding episodes of brief cutoffs over price and payment disputes between Russia and Ukraine.
But, Germany halted the project, and look where the bloc stands now. Episodes of brief cut-offs are looming in Europe and no alternative is visible insight.
Yesterday, Russia curbed gas supplies to Germany in a warning for Europe. Moscow’s move slashed deliveries by about 3% of German imports impacting the cost of living which is already a major issue in Europe.

The latest actions are indicating that Europe may finally have understood its mistake as it has started rolling back on a few decisions.
For instance, several EU nations have raised concern over new sanctions by European Union. Countries like Hungary have decided to veto the sanctions. Whereas, other countries have also raised concerns.
Furthermore, most nations have also accepted Gazprom’s demand for payment in rubles. A few governments have to indirectly soften their stance as cost-of-living is hitting hard on the civilians. Germany to be precise is softening its stance as the german chancellor Olaf Scholz is losing support from the people.
In addition, most of the industries in the European nations have economic machinery and structure designed to operate only on Russian oil. Shifting to alternatives may reduce the efficacy of the machinery.
The pressure is mounting over the bloc to reduce the impact generated in aftermath of the war, whatever it takes. And honestly, no other option other than restarting Nord Stream 2 is preferable to the bloc.

Sooner or later, most of the bloc nations will realize that there are no alternatives to Russian oil and gas and in the end, Europe needs Russia more than anyone else.
So, there are really good chances that the Nord Stream 2 may get restarted very soon as it is the only project that has the potential to help Europe recover as soon as possible from the mess that is created by its own action.

Its bullshit. I live in Germany. NS2 is dead as is all other energy fro, russia. Foreign minister Baerbock just last week said she will bring energy imports from Russia down to zero.
Her party won massive in yesterday election in NRW.
Putinist russia is a threat for all of Europe. Energy prices are nothing compared to the threat to wake up one day in putins facist poverty empire. Its that simple.
Energy from Russia can only bevome a thing again when Russia had regime change
Putinist Tussia is a threat

EU seems to try to look to Africa for Russia's oil & gas substitution. How viable and reliable it is remain to be seen. It will be more costly for sure, but what do you think about the reliability of HC supplies from African countries?
Europe Looks To African Gas To Reduce Dependence On Russian Imports | OilPrice.com
African nations that have historically been gas suppliers to Europe are well placed to scale up their exports as Brussels looks to reduce its dependence on Russian gas

Russian BMPT "Terminator" appeared in Ukraine. The combat vehicle was spotted in the vicinity of the settlement of Severodonetsk. The Terminator BMPT is a tracked fire support vehicle with powerful weapons, modern fire control devices and high maneuverability. The tank support combat vehicle is designed to operate as part of tank units in order to defeat anti-tank weapons and enemy manpower.

What about loyal US allies from the very beginning, like Mexico, Liberia and Philippines? All of them have been core US allies even before WW1. Liberia and Philippines pretty much copied US system.
How are they doing?
US only defeated 2 countries in WW2. Germany and Japan. Where's the all?
