Where’s Europe when Russia seeps into her eastern edge? Why is it only our problem to take on all of Russia? I am all for intervention, all for Iraq and etc., all for flexing our muscles. But if we send troops to every hotspot and no one else does, it is wishful thinking...

From their actions, it's apparent that Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics recognize the threat. It's to their sovereignty, of course. As they're willing to act, they deserve our support.

The rest of Europe, though, is either cowering or somnolent. But that's their nature.

Yes, it is very disheartening, definitely. Europe always watches, NEVER seems to get it. Then they call us, their big brother who will ‘beat you up,’ but whom they hate.
