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.
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.
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 …
S’all good, we have the Second Cold War instead. Well, for everyone but Ukraine…
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
