I don't know if this smells like The Onion enough.

    Why do you think Germany lost the eastern front in WW2?

    I know you are joking, but they lost from bad leadership. Hitler intervened and changed missions multiple times, including when generals were setting up to winter around oil fields around ukraine, hitler sent them to moscow or some shit, meanwhile november it can get -50 f.

    The oil fields is what their war machine needed too, not moscow or any gritty industrial cities. They could have disabled the rails easy enough and bombed river traffic and cut off war supplies from them anyway from the generals' plan.

    But hitler thought he was a great tactical genius because his initial success that only worked because it was so reckless no one figured it would be attempted. And just a supreme leadet will always have it go to their head, surrounded by yes men and sycophants.

    It is reassuring to hear that someone in some position of power has at least some grasp on reality.

    Anyone who thinks now is a good time to start drinking clearly has a solid grasp of the situation.

    All this talk about economic depressions and recessions and such. I dub this era the Global Depression, and it's much more than just economic.

    My advise to Kallas: don't start personally drinking, but organize credible and systematic drinking.

    Find an expert drinker, the EU equivalent of Dmitry Medvedyev. He or she should preferably be a former head of state or PM from a large country. Health checks should be done, since we can't afford this negotiator passing out too often.

    This person should visit the Chinese embassy when sober, then get regularly drunk (observing the behaviour of Elon Mush, microdosing of ketamine might also help). Either way, this person should regularly enter "god mode" and taunt Trump with progress reports about European countries withdrawing from the Non-Prolilferation Agreement, buying nuclear powered space laser technology from China and perspectives for a new trans-Eurasian defense alliance that is coming very soon (and which will allegedly stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine "in 24 hours").

    (On days of high alcohol intake, promises to build a space elevator and climate control station on Greenland might be appropriate to include.)
