I keep saying the same since 2022.

roughcustomer.bsky.social•97 days ago

Because russian propaganda tells it's voters not to, & most right of centre parties are directly funded by them. Faced with this, nobody can be bothered to risk reelection.

thamar.bsky.social•95 days ago

Very strong cover and yeah ostrich politics 😑

svenskjohan.bsky.social•97 days ago

30 years of peace.

That's why.

kpal.bsky.social•97 days ago

Europe is still in denial.

tonethebone.bsky.social•97 days ago

Which part of Europe are we talking about here? Poland? Finland? Estonia? Some western countries yes but the rest? 🙈🙉👿

kpal.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yeah, talking about those that are still in denial. You know exactly which ones I mean. Definitely not the ones you’ve mentioned.

tonethebone.bsky.social•97 days ago

I know what you mean but it's not denial, it's more like being the Scrooge at the pub, not buying a round. Excited when the shots come but naval gazing at the same time...

bobobobobob.bsky.social•97 days ago

Actual troops on ground requires a direct attack. Thanks to US becoming a russian colony for a while, it will be forced to sooner than later.

kbear7.bsky.social•97 days ago

Good question.

frederiktunnat.bsky.social•97 days ago

large parts of the population in EU countries indulge in a Putin illusion, only seeing the sheepskin and not the wolf underneath

theenormousroom.bsky.social•97 days ago

Because it's been bought and paid for by Russia.

Exactly. Why? Answer: Europeans waiting like a mouse in the corner. Hoping that the fox will eat the neighbour mouse and they will be the last one in the row

bartsky.bsky.social•97 days ago

They’re staying under the threshold of causing fear and anger or even catching the attention of the public.

And in 2014, Dugin argued that Russia should conquer Europe.

rakefighter.bsky.social•97 days ago

This has always been the way with Europe.

Russia is attacking Europe assymetrically, and Europe IS defending itself - by arming Ukraine which is proving exceptionally effective at attriting Russia. We just need to do a LOT more of it.

imesoamericano.bsky.social•80 days ago

The best resistance they know is stealth, at least I imagine some aspects are quietly proceeding. The recent agreement to budget 500 billion toward defences is promising…

Lebensraum became an ideological principle of Nazism and German territorial expansion, ironic this is Putin’s playbook.

mercomarz.bsky.social•97 days ago

Help out your friendly western neighbor Ukraine under genocidal Russian invasion.

Just only protect Western & Northern Ukraine, bringing in military with air defense & fighter planes.

No need to go to the East front.

stefanlg.bsky.social•97 days ago

Great cover! 😍

handle.invalid•97 days ago

EVERY country in #Europe SHOULD be building up its Armed Forces asap & working cooperatively with ALL other European countries to help #Ukraine *WIN* AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
before being forced to defend themselves directly from the imperialist genocidal invaders soon to be known as #moscovy.

European leaders still believe that US will take care of all our security needs.

I believe that all speeches coming from EU leaders about "becoming independent on military matters" are aimed at Trump so to make him think US will miss weapon exports and change his mind.

sarahbeck.bsky.social•97 days ago

Because we don't know who we are anymore. The same with the US. We are not unified in values or common interests and thus can't even figure out if we want to put up a fight or not.

crankyunicorn.bsky.social•96 days ago

Europeans politicians are more interested in the economy and in being populists instead of doing what is right.

Declare War turn EU into an War economy and end this war for good. Time to point Nukes to Moscow and see how they feel about it.

crankyunicorn.bsky.social•96 days ago

Everyone be sure if Ukraine falls the Ukrainians people will be used as cannon fodder in the next war against Europe Union and NATO. And they will do it so willingly because we let them down and let them die at the hands of the Russians. Strange? Think again if that wasn't happened before.

jd-is-me.bsky.social•97 days ago

With Trump coming, they will have no choice. Not the best way to enter a major conflict. They've had so much warning, heads in the sand.

bagamundu.bsky.social•97 days ago

Sounds hauntingly desperate. Gonna use it in my lectures

vivaladiva.bsky.social•97 days ago

That is a brilliant and thought-provoking cover. Great work by the designer.
