> europe has to start preparing for invasion they should have been prepared years ago for invasion, part of the problem is western europe didn't take things seriously and believed 'the end of history'. the baltic states knew russia was a rogue state and never bought into that idea, which is why poland is now becoming a big military power.   the standards of 'provocation' are applied only to the west. rogan didn't warn of ww3 when 10,000 nk troops went to ukraine to fight for russia. if that was 10,000 nato troops putin and the entire vatnik media would be going postal. suggesting that russia is allowed to use long range missiles on ukraine but ukraine isn't allowed to use them back is absurd, again, this nonsense was only perpetuated because of biden and his libs refusing to have a proper foreign policy to begin with. one of the good things about trump's incoming term is he probably doesn't care about people finger wagging at him about 'provocation'.   > what if they actually believe what they are saying? that they do fear the escalation and potential outcomes of it? they're being selective in their outrage if they believe it. > these are different conditions and circumstances with different outcomes and impact on the battlefield and the situation. the 10,000 nk troops thing is a lot more of a big deal than giving ukraine some missiles is since it actually is an example of the war widening. like i say, if it was 10k nato troops you'd never hear the end of it.
