Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called for embracing a multipolar world order on Monday while delivering a speech at Tsinghua University in Beijing.
Europe basically needs to accept the fact that you can’t change geography, and that Russia can’t be dominated by the west. So, the only logical thing to do is to find a mutually acceptable way to coexist. The problem is that people in charge are all ideologues, and admitting they were wrong is going to be the end of their political careers at this point.
I expect that the breaking point will be when Russia wins in Ukraine. The whole policy towards Russia was predicated on the idea that Russia can be subjugated in the end, and that would make all the hardships worth it. Once it becomes clear that Russia won, the recriminations will start in full. People are going to ask what it was all for, and there’s going to be no good answer.

I hope the answer isn’t just going to be “more fascism” but I’m not holding my breath
yeah same, seems like there’s some hope in France though with the left getting its shit together finally
