    Missing the EU on the right side, because let's face it the EU's biggest enemy is itself (and its weird dedication to licking Uncle Sam boot).

    Israel is not directly shitting in our backyard so we don't care, just like Iran, Sudan etc pp.

    You're fine with funding genocide, you only care if they bother you?

    That does check out with how immoral and pathetic the Jedi were.

    People are often more bothered by stuff that directly affect them. Though instability in Middle East, North Africa has shown up as more migrants to Europe and that's something Israel and USA have had their hands in

    Easy, destroy Russia as it is the easier target and offer two thirds of it to usa and China if they don't intervene/give us a bit of support. They get free territory with vast resources and we get rid of a menace to western democracies who is already at war with us and get the western part of Russia, expanding Europe, and facilitating business with China. Russia is not really interesting to support as they are relatively small economically (10% of Europe), and there are only 150 millions of people there, they will probably be better in Europe.

    On a serious note, I think taking out Russia as a threat is exactly what Europe should do now that it's weak, in order to secure the Eastern flank in case the US goes completely funny.

    Only problem is, China can then maybe completely engulf Mongolia, which would give ppl there a really hard time.

    Maybe, but it's a problem either way. Mongolia now has a border with just two countries: China and russia. Their merchants can use whichever has lower tariffs or better security etc. So there's a small bit of leverage, which gives a bit of freedom. Now, if China gets the part of russia that connects Mongolia with russia as part of a peace deal that splits russia among the allied forces like Germany after WW2, Mongolia will share a border with only China and they can put tariffs etc as high as they want. If China closed their airspace they couldn't even export/import by air. It would be very worrisome and an immense pressure.

    There are potentially a few allies, Canada, UK?, Australia, and a few smaller countries that are not in the EU.

    Alas, on the other side, there are a few missing as well (Israel, for example)
