Well, one thing is certain--Europe has to increase efforts aimed at severing all ties with the USA. All the subsidizing of American economy with multi-billion arms purchases from the US and giving up the development of strong European nuclear forces was based on the premise that America would not abandon Europe in times of need--this is now increasingly doubtful (to put it mildly), so Europe needs to first quietly prepare for the severing of relations and then openly renounce all ties with America who has ceased to be a reliable ally.
The first logical step would be to cancel all arms deals with American companies and arm ourselves to the teeth without pumping billions upon billions into the American economy; we have to switch European economies to war modes and bring back mass conscription. When the EU is free from the necessity of sucking American dicks, we will be able to choose our allies more carefully or act as an independent united power.
As for Ukraine... well, they wanted to achieve victory at the lowest possible cost but they miscalculated: they should have conducted proper offensive long time ago when they still had the chance. They wanted to spare their soldiers but they ended up losing even more of them and are now faced with even more painful losses. That's what happens when you don't conduct proper mobilization: there were 60 thousand Ukrainians on the recent Max Korzh concert in Warsaw - that's two full infantry divisions having fun listening to rap music instead of defending their country (and that's just one silly concert in Poland!). So, yes: exporting millions upon millions of conscription age males to most EU countries in times of war was beyond retarded (and it wasn't the only mistake that Ukraine made).
Lesson for Europe: don't count on anyone else apart from yourself.
Lesson for America: you are absolutely free to be cold mercantile c*nts but the cost in the end will be much higher than you realize.
Lesson for Ukraine: there is no victory over a much stronger enemy without treating the war seriously (no proper mobilization - really?)
Lesson for Poland: the lesson for Poland was given in 1939, when we had enemies close to our borders and "friends" far away; a country can make such a disastrous mistake only once in their history, right? ... right?
