The EU realizes it can't rely on America for protection. Now it has a blueprint for a new joint military force | CNN
The chaos at the border between Poland and Belarus is just the latest incident to get top brass in Brussels pondering what the European Union should do long-term about its internal security.

video (11m) about how Putin is making a red-line out of losing Ukraine to the west and seeing it (like Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) fortified by the west, what i publicly label here as a dangerous and total waste of defense tax money by the west, which is something that's and about to spring into high gear in both the Russian-NW and Russian-SW NATO-Russia fronts..
as a representative (citizen, actually) of The Netherlands and thus the EU and our UK friends, i formally object to this western fortification effort along Russia's western border (and, if this were to include Ukraine, open 2 very short land routes to the main Russian population centers.
because the only thing that that would achieve is a real need for the Russians to increase their arsenals as well,
and with that the risk of real conflict only increases.
if both sides have a massive arsenal of some type of weaponry pointed at eachother, it can promote and secure peace, like nuclear weapons do.
but it's utter political and military hubris and idiocy to think you can fortify 2 very wide fronts to your long time adversary's main population centers with military bases containing nearly every weapon type out there. that sh!t is just unacceptable, to anyone with even half a brain, and regardless of their profession too.
