    If the European nations had any balls.  They would make a resolution to dissolve NATO.  Form a new coalition with all the same rules.  Exclude the US.  And then let Ukraine into this new group.  Poland is pretty confident they can take on Putin by themselves.  That's leaves Trump on the sidelines and the European leaders driving a peace agreement.

    I don't think they'll dissolve NATO, if they do anything, they'll create a European Alliance with similar rules. It's been gaining traction, but who knows if it all talk or not, SuingToGetAMessageBoard is probably right, they'll wait it out:

    Germany’s Merz vows ‘independence’ from Trump’s America, warning NATO may soon be dead
    Election winner likens the Trump administration to Putin’s Russia as he bids to take Europe in a new direction.

    “My absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that, step by step, we can really achieve independence from the USA,” Germany's chancellor-in-waiting said. “I never thought I would have to say something like this on a television program. But after Donald Trump's statements last week at the latest, it is clear that the Americans, at least this part of the Americans, this administration, are largely indifferent to the fate of Europe.”

    🐝Ukrainian kamikaze drones eliminate four Russian occupiers on ATVs.Pay attention to the attack tactics of the second drone. It simply waits for Russian vehicles to appear near the road, trying to conserve battery power.

  5. I'm mixed about it, but it still feels like civ, so I'll probably still sink hundreds of hours into it. I'm also questioning some of the choices they made, but supposedly they're taking some of the feedback on the bad UI design to heart and are going to fix some things. If you're a Civ fan, buy it, if you're on he fence, wait for a DLC or two.

    ️The 47th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has destroyed a column of the Russian Armed Forces' 155th Brigade with red flags in the Kursk region.
    Using FPV drones, Ukrainian forces are destroying armored vehicles with Soviet flags near the settlement of Nikolsky. Russia has deployed more than ten tanks for this attack. Russian military bloggers have called this assault a betrayal and the killing of their own.

    😳A Russian soldier took a preemptive step-upon hearing a Ukrainian drone, he simply shot himself.

     

    ^Effective but he could've done that at home.

  7. From what I've been reading from people I follow. The mood in Ukraine is a bit sour, they see this as a sign that they won't even be invited to the peace talks over their own Country, but outwardly trying to put on a brave face. So they see it as their worst fears coming true, a forced bad peace where they give everything and get nothing in return but a Minsk 3. Europe is their only hope, that either Europe can a) force it so Ukraine can be in the room when negotiations take place, b) force it so both Europe and Ukraine can be in the room, or c) that somehow they can garner enough political will to help provide troops. People on the ground though have been saying they'll keep on fighting though as a long as it takes even if we pull support because they see it for what it is, a matter of their own survival.

    🐝A Ukrainian drone strikes the most advanced Russian tank, the T-90M, causing the ammunition to detonate and completely destroying the vehicle.🚭One crew member managed to escape, but it seems he was smoking in the wrong place.

    Russia's oil industry continues to face hardship as yet another refinery burns in the Russian region of Saratov.
    Rosneft's Kreking refinery handles about 7.2 million tons/year, part of the cash machine that fuels Russia's expanding global terror.
    And there will be more..

    have they published a leader list? is gandhi about to nuke the world again

    They have announced a few. This time leaders are independent from the Civ you pick, and most are not traditional leaders but "Great Persons." So like you can pick Ben Franklin and run Egypt, despite him never being an actual leader of any Country. 
    https://www.pcgamesn.com/civilization-7/leaders

     

    Here are all the Civ 7 leaders revealed so far:

    Amina
    Ashoka
    Augustus Caesar
    Benjamin Franklin
    Catherine the Great
    Charlemagne
    Confucius
    Friedrich
    Harriet Tubman
    Hatshepsut
    Himiko
    Ibn Battuta
    Isabella
    José Rizal
    Lafayette
    Napoleon Bonaparte
    Niccoló Machiavelli
    Pachacuti
    Tecumseh
    Trung Trac
