The Escalations None of Us Wanted
Filed under: Hours ago:
reenland was a warning sign. The US is not committed to the protection of Europe, it’s an ongoing threat to it.
In recent hours I was curating many links about the current confrontation with Russia and some reports about Germany and the UK, not just Baltic states, in relation to the war in Ukraine. It seems like growing risk of direct conflict (not just passing arms and other resources to Ukraine) means evolving mindsets are overdue. It’s not like Russia has a lot going for it, except nukes, but it can still impact daily lives for all Europeans. Suppose an undersea cable got cut every day or a Russian (sometimes Iranian-made) armed drone entered Poland and Germany every day. Suppose EU citizens were expected to spend hours in bomb shelters.
The world is not in a “good place” right now.
