It is better a multipolar world than a monopolar world.
Can't be more agree with that one, but...
That multi-polar world might take on a completely new meaning.
Check on the latest joint military drill Russia-China in Baltic Sea....

Anyway what you want to do, it's always the same people who decide and always the same ones who are undergoing.

If the Chinese or Russian elites want war, then no one can stop it. The same applies to the USA. In 2003 when France said no on Iraq it did not prevent them from going there.

The only thing I want is that europe stays away from all this ****

They have been greatly overlooked as that pillar of Christendom that was keeping the world in balance. When Americans decided to destroy that pillar, the world started crumbling down - slowly but surely.
The world was a great and peaceful place back in the glory days. When were those days and when was the number of war deaths per 100,000 earth inhabitants ever lower than today?

As for border countries, I'd swap Mexico for the UK, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland or France any time.

I'd swap any Slavic/Southern European country except for Spain or Portugal with Austria and Germany. So France is lucky to border both Spain and Germany.

Yes I understand, but unfortunately that's not how it works.

I demand the official letter of recognition that I can plaster across my wall.
Or it never happened.

Dream on Ariete, dream on)))

The point being, there is no way around for all these "smaller nations" - be that Finns, or Poles, or Lithuanians to feel safe, ( in fact this goes for the rest of the world too, now when I think about it,) unless Russia is a prosperous and secure state. Until people like me and Maxim are in charge - people with that kind of mentality, not Putin, Rottenbergs and the rest of oligarchic sh*ts)))

P.S. Glad you are back)))
