> The EU and NATO were always vassals.

No one used that word until Trump got pissed they did not invaded Iran.

> Coming back to the Ukraine issue, Russia is facing off 50 plus countries supplying materiel and intelligence using the Ukrainian proxy regime.

Russia is facing Ukraine that it invaded who is getting help from countries who find invasion disgusting or simply think Russia will invade them next.

Funny, USA moved to Russia side but the vassals did not.
