Europe can do nothing as Russia becomes larger threat everyday or NATO can become larger and become an increased threat to Russia.
Russia is the enemy not western nations. Some posts on FR these days are right out of DU.
The EU spends so little on defense they better start building up or learning Russian.
Since around 2008 Russian military spending has increased by about a third in constant 2011 US dollars.
Meanwhile the EU has been reducing military spending. Yes, they have been trying to expand diplomatically. So what?
The idea that the EU is the aggressive one is ridiculous.
