“Something is up with European leadership and Russia may not have anything to do with it.”
Russia of course has everything to do with it. After hundreds of years Sweden abandoned neutrality because they realized that there is no clear limit to the territorial appetite of Putin and other Russians who think like him.
Putin apologists try to change the subject to gay rights and transsexualism, but the Finns and Swedes, whose lives are at risk, aren’t buying that argument.
The war in Ukraine is over two years old and the lines have changed little.
My point is why the sudden rush to gear up for a war after two years?
If Russia was going to attack NATO it could obviously set off a nuclear conflict nobody would win.
There has to be something else in play besides a strip of land in Eastern Ukraine.
Could it be Iran? Maybe.
I just don’t know what it is.
