If I were President, I would tell Europe — “Act like men and stop crying to us to protect you from a bully that is less than a third your size.” Europe just wants to relax and not have any consequences for their actions, like spending nothing on defense. Until they start getting scared that they will experience some consequences, they will carry on. That are like lazy gigolos lolling around our mansion and then asking us to get in a brawl with some outlaw motorcycle gang they owe money to.
Honestly I don’t think there is a genuine threat from Russia or Putin at this time.
Putin may be an opportunistic but hes not stupid, he wont pick a fight he can’t win, and he can’t win a fight with us or the EU. Putin is clearly just going for the low hanging fruit and in the process demonstrating the absurdity of the leftist idea of “international law”.
This I am enjoying to no end.
