Still Too Civilian

Significant numbers of Euro-wogs have placed themselves outside the mainstream of sensible moderation by blatantly diverging from the Anglo-American mainland's position on the Ukraine war. Nevertheless, majorities in most countries are in favour of continuing to arm Ukraine, even if nobody seems very sure to what ultimate purpose. Among the Ukrainians themselves, about a third suspect that the USA will go over their government's head and make a deal with the Russians when it suits the White House; and three-quarters of them see membership of the EU as a military necessity, although the extent of their appetite for eventual neoliberal restructuring of the ruins remains as yet unclear. Demonstrating a disturbing lack of British pragmatism, a majority would be willing to cede territory in order to retain sufficient sovereignty to submit to the Strasbrussels yoke. Although most of the lesser breeds are resigned to the current state of the conflict, with their governments throwing money at arms contractors in the name of holding the fiend Putin at bay, there is no support for sending troops. Most sinister of all, victory at all costs and to the last drop of blood that doesn't happen to be a politician's or a profiteer's is apparently not widely considered a viable option.
