what do you mean? Which allies and who is the West ?


The West is a group of countries characterized by strong institutions and rule of law so Usa, Canada, europe, Japan, a Korea, Australia (it's not in fact a geographical term)

What I meant is that Ukraine is putting up a fight against an aggressor is doing unbelievably, and the west while helping isn't helping nearly as much as it should.

I hear a lot this:

- Either we should invest our full energy in coming to peace, whatever it costs, because the main goal is to save lives and keep the peace

- Or we go and support Ukraine with NATO and forces the War to an end

What we do today is none of both, like "almost 0 diplomacy" and giving weapons and support in the bare minimum, not committing to any position, is pretty bad to the civilians and soldiers in Ukraine.

Something that I never expected to hear and see: In Germany the Green Chanceler candidate, Robert Habeck, trying to score in the upcoming election, saying that he would deliver Taurus to Ukraine: https://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2024-11/ukraine-krieg-ro...


>Something that I never expected to hear and see

Then you never understood what the German Greens were and are.


what they were is clear. What they are and what they are aiming to be is a great question.
