Reply to comment by 50-Minute-Wait in EU slaps sanctions on top Russia officials, banks, trade by BrandYearg525

Can you imagine the world we'd be living in today if Europe allowed Putin to destroy Ukraine?

We'd have to turn a blind to all the reports of genocide and other war crimes, murder, rape, looting and destruction. Mass deportation of children, ethnic cleansing through forced deportations and various political purges and executions. All of this happening in EUs backyard, in a country that wanted to be our partner and ally.

And then there'd be the issue of bordering a country with a powerful military commanded by a dying lunatic who could strike again at any moment.

Europam unity would be shattered and democracy itself would be brought into question.

Yeah, this really is the time for the EU to step up and show the world that we can be the geopolitical powerhouse that we’re destined to be. It’s also a chance to do something incredibly good with that power.

Nah, we would condamn all those crimes over and over again but who gives?

It's a race against evil. If Ukraine is captured by the Nazis the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the earth. Do you understand me?
