  @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social A “centaur” is a human being who is assisted by a machine (a human head on a strong and tireless body). A reverse centaur is a machine that uses a human being as its assistant (a frail and vulnerable person being puppeteered by an uncaring, relentless machine).

  @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social and maybe the miracle was due to the fact that Russia was really weaker than they appeared and weaker than anyone realized. this is slowly coming to light now on the battlefields of eastern UKR an has already shown itself in the middle east. Putin left Assad to fend for himself.

  @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social didn't think of the other smaller countries as basket case economies but maybe I was being kind and it was wishful thinking. I mean clearly not greece.. italy maybe if you cook the books a lot. Spain- no way. Benelux countries are probably modest but still in the black without using creative acccounting. Scandinavia as well, for the most part, dropping lower as you head east. Baltics, forget it. Eastern EUR. forget it.

  @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social still.. a lot of dawdling and lack of clear direction present in UKR and among Ukrainians as a whole, all of which played right into Russia's larger plan. By the time of the color revolutions, it was almost too late for UKR but they managed to pull out of their nosedive, miraculously, at the very last minute. Special providence for Ukraine, as well it would seem.

  @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social 27 GD countries in it 2 are economically viable. Which 2 would you say? I have a guess, I just want to compare lists. Spoiler: Italy and Slovenia are not on the list.

  @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Interesting point. In the US, national unity is essentially a given fact, particularly when presented with "outside" enemies or percieved enemies. Europeans are new at unity and rather inexperienced. I guess the US Civil War decided that for the US.. that era, the issues present in that time. Maybe our current times will be that same test for the EU.
