Now what if the Ukraine attacked just before Russia did? All the equipment was built up on the border in one place and the Russians had a known propensity to attack just like the Arabs did in ‘67. Israel wasn’t playing their game. Poland and the Baltics have taken note. Where’s the rest of NATO?
Israel can take the criticism. It’s survival. Can Russia say the same? Gotta admit Europe cannot run their own affairs without war. Trumps threat of leaving the alliance probably was more threatening than Joe Biden.
Russia can’t go a decade without invading one of its neighbors.
