Ukraine probably can’t survive without US help, Zelenskyy says
-
So, not a proxy war.

One side being weaker and reliant on outside support is not what makes something a proxy war.

That’s what I said.
-
Please Europe help Ukraine!

Your initial comment comes across as sarcastic.
-
I can't even express how angry this whole thing makes me. It was avoidable. We could have reacted in 2014.

Thanks Obama (and Merkel)
If only there was a punishment for Crimea...

"That's the idea" says Trump, Putin's fanboi.

-
EU ... step in ...

Isn’t that the what trump and putie agreed on when he was installed in the White House?

When someone tells you how you came across to them, pretending that you didn't come across to them that way is pretty silly.

There's going to be another war 100%, mark my words, we are currently in 1938 again. Trump called Putin is same as Ribentrov and Molotov. Europe behaving same as Chamberlain holding a scrap of paper 1 year before attacking Poland. Russia will go for Georgia, Moldova and then Baltic states

I believe that Europe can do more - sometimes, at the cost of lowering its own preparedness. Which I believe it is willing to do in short term.
I also see indications that Europe might do more (e.g. Commission allows countries to exceed budget balancing limits on defense spending).
I also see indications that some European arms industries have already increased production (e.g. SAAB indicating that it can make 400 000 units of NLAW next year).
