From "watershed moment" to "turning point," there's been no shortage of declarations about the danger from Russia as the US turns on Ukraine and Europe. But did EU leaders rise to the challenge regarding defense?
The fact that at the same time nationalist parties across Europe were getting money from Russia is surely reinforcing your beliefs. As a (in)famous politician used to say, thinking bad is a sin, but you often get it right.
That’s definitely a part of it. Plus, I optimistically (perhaps naively) want to believe that my country wouldn’t do something so stupidly short sighted without outside intervention
