“If, as I believe, the United States is defeated, NATO will disintegrate and Europe will be left free.” - Emmanuel Todd in an interview with Corriere di Bologna
I don’t think NATO will disintegrate if Russia wins, although it will be weakened and has already shown itself to be weak/ineffective, a paper tiger. EU has already made plans for an EU army with little interest at its inception, although now I think more countries will be for it.
Emmanuel Todd thinks Russia has maximalist goals in Ukraine, I disagree with him there too, although eventual liberation of Odessa might be in the cards. If they cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea completely, that will just be grounds for another war once Ukraine recovers.
I’m not dismissing it, overall it’s an okay source imo. But I remember them posting something akin to “Transgender nonsense” - and it was an incoherent mess of words. Yes, it was a long time ago, still, I thought some people might feel uneasy.
Also - in this exact post they linked “Transgender - The Inability To Distinguish Facts From Wishes”. A bit sus, I suppose
Yeah, in the article he’s talking about, quoting, and agreeing with Matt Taibbi. It’s not good. I post the blog posts that inform on Ukraine, Palestine and the crises in US/EU/NATO because I think they often contain lots of well-sourced information.
