Just because we didn't quite fill enough buckets with arguing about the Budapest memorandum, the first time around

IMO, The EU should straight up ally with Ukraine with a path to membership. I think that allowing Russia to be as it is, would be a huge mistake. In a conflict with America, that would likely mean having a Russian knife to one's back. Breaking the Russia we know, developing Ukraine, and maybe even help some form of Neorussia democracy with a Marshall Plan, would all contribute to getting ready for a fight with America.

Unfortunately Putin’s puppets in the EU are gaining power.

The AfD yes, but Orbán is on his way out, and last I heard Fico wasn't doing too well either.

I agree and I hope that if this deal is pushed, some alliance of European countries will actively join on the side of Ukraine. With this horseshit deal, Europe has to take matters into their own hands. I just hope enough countries have the balls to do it. Specific countries that could join such a coalition of the willing would be UK, France (maybe), Poland, Sweden, Denmark and maybe some other ones like Czechia or Finland. Russia is already close to breaking point, so the timing would be perfect.
