“War is no longer a concept from the past. It is real, and it started over two years ago. The most worrying thing at the moment is that literally any scenario is possible. We haven’t seen a situation like this since 1945,” Tusk said in an interview with the European media grouping LENA on Friday.

“I know it sounds devastating, especially for the younger generation, but we have to get used to the fact that a new era has begun: the pre-war era. I’m not exaggerating; it’s becoming clearer every day.”

The former European Council president’s comments came soon after the two-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war upended an era of peace in Europe and pushed nations into ramping up weapons production.

Tusk further said that no one in Europe would feel safe if Kyiv lost the war.

    It doesn’t work like that. Buggery gets you buggered. Everything else is sophistic attempts to justify immoral actions which won’t lead to any positive results (except maybe some direct or indirect bribes to politicians making such decisions).

      The majority of fascist movements die out and fade away. We just focus on the ones that start invading other countries, because obviously that’s away bigger problem for other countries.

      Guys like Erdogan and Orban are a concern (if they weren’t you wouldn’t have even heard their names) and diplomatic efforts are made to prevent those situations from getting worse. Eventually the peoples of Turkey and Hungary will get tired of their shit and the problem will be gone. This is the most likely way things will go.

      How many wars against the fascists do you want to be happening simultaneously? Especially considering most of the time such wars aren’t necessary since most fascist movements die off without the need for regime change.
