Some people in Europe think they are far enough away from Russia to be safe. In Ireland, some have also believed that if you stay out of NATO you can stay out of the fight. Those are the people @irishtimes.bsky.social asked me to write this for.

If Russia is indeed planning an attack against a Nato state, distance and neutrality will provide no defence
The farther west in Europe you go, the easier it is to take the view that an aggressive Russia is somebody else’s problem. Those days could be coming to an end

Still can’t get over how many people on the right voluntarily went to bat for Matt Gaetz despite allegations of sex trafficking of a minor. Not only was it for nothing since the AG nomination failed… but now you’re forever on record advocating for an alleged statutory rapist.
