Re: <nettime> Stormy weather? 

it makes a difference though if it's proxy war or not:
- if it's a struggle for a nation's survival, one should probably follow the advice of RAND and go for negotiations asap (as the war looks increasingly unwinable, according to their recent report).
- if it's a proxy war, the West may keep sending as many weapons as possible with the aim to "ruin Russia" (Baerbock). Regrettably, this entails the sacrifice of many more Ukrainian soldiers, most likely without achieving the goal.
To get back to what De-Colonizing Western Europe could mean: for example the sovereign freedom to choose one's sources of energy, and to sue so-called "friends" for damage compensation for the pipeline blown up in an act of state terrorism. 

Or one may ask chatGPT for a more comfortable geopolitical assessment.

Oh my, what this is supposed to mean, only chatGPT can explain

    well, people who think that this war does not primarily serve as a
    proxy
    war, may indeed also consider chatGPT a reliable source ... :)
