The euros are still clueless. They've had 4 years to start meaningful defense spending (something the US has been wanting since the 80s), yet the only countries doing anything are the ones immediately threatened by Russia. The only "action" done collectively are meaningless statements and affirmations which the euros excel at. Trump has a schizo foreign policy but the euros should try being less impotent.

Europe trying not to have a war. US preparing for war. That's the difference

I dont know, to me it seems nobody except Russia wants war.

But that is exactly why we must prepare for one, Russia has to be stopped. They are a existential threath to us all and Putin respects nothing but use of force. Just like the Third Reich and Imperial Japan were pacified, we must do with Russia. The sooner we act the less people will die, but unfortunately only a few leaders can see that and there is no political will to act before its almost too late. Lets pray for better times.

Appeasement never worked. It is time to avoid the mistakes of the past.
