What Europeans will deal with Germany and Russia? Such dwarfs like say the Danish, Austrians or Belgians?
Are you again intervening to fend off surreal threats?
Surreal? The history showed at least twice that they aren't that surreal.
If in your opinion the small countries must be protected from the powerful, who is going to protect them?
And yes, surreal. How are Germany and Russia threatening Belgium?
The countries I mentioned in the previous post were just examples to show that 'the Europeans' mostly comprise of small states which cannot counter Germany and Russia in the case of a possible conflict.
Actually, we already discussed it with you, IIRC. And I told you that the division lies between Eastern and Western Europe in this matter. The East European countries view Russia as a threat and seek to defend themselves from it; while the West European countries see it as one of the main economic partners and seek a closer cooperation.
'Who is going to protect them?' isn't a correct form of the question. They should do their best to boost their capabilities to counter possible aggression as far as possible. But even their combined forces can't be on pair with Russia's. So, I am in faviour of creating of some organization similar to Nato, but for East European countries, with the US, Canada and Britain taking part in it.
