I love when countries like France and Germany start issuing red lines to Russia with no real ability to back it up....
Sort of like when a group of friends are hanging out and the two weakest of the group start mouthing off to the bully knowing full well the best fighter of the group has their back....
Basically start a bunch of crap and the stand back and let others deal with the outcome...

Military spending in 2020:
Russia - $60.6 billion
United Kingdom - $61.5 billion
France - $55.0 billion
Germany - $51.3 billion
Italy - $29.3 billion
Poland - $12.04 billion
Russia is not the USSR that could easily overrun Europe. If Putin wants to throw down with the Europeans, the world will learn very quickly how small a country Russia is today.
I have a friend like that. One day, I stood out of the way and let him learn a little before I intervened. He’s never done it since.
