I’ve noticed that in both Belgium and The Netherlands there has been an increase in war talk lately, saying how we need more military personnel and that we need to be wary of Russia. I’ve seen some British articles about it too.
Now, I hope it is purely coincidental otherwise I’d have to get worried about EU+UK being complete idiots and preparing for war.
Pretty sure they’ve started preparing for war long ago. The first coup in Ukraine was in, what, 2004? Then there was a wave sweeping southern republics. 2008 was war between Russia and Georgia, plus the financial crisis. Arguably they’ve started preparing at least back then
