Europe has been underestimating its own power, especially towards Russia.
We should be more self confident.
The United States is still our biggest ally.
And it's in the interest of the U.S. that we work together.

The OSCE was established to keep war away from Europe.
Yet, Russia blatantly violates international law and OSCE principles.
The EU will stay the course.
Only more pressure on Russia and more support to Ukraine will change the balance.
