Serious people still treat Viségrad24 as a repostable source. I hope this report will get their attention. Because me telling them in the comments "it mixes facts with fake news and is not a reliable source" didn't do the trick.

Mitt främsta problem med Andersson är att hon frånkänner ukrainarna egna, sunda önskningar. Ukrainare har en starkare längtan efter fred och en bättre förståelse av krigets pris än vad Andersson någonsin kan filosofera sig fram till. De vet även allt om vad som händer när man försöker tillmötesgå 🇷🇺.

This is where the fake Putin is no smarter than his inspiration.
War is not merely the use of military force, and confusing those categories is bad. The error was naming big standard political level competition with a force component variant of war.

Expeditionary warfare, with small professional troops and equipment to fit the crisis management tasks, was NATO’s post-Cold War doctrine. Led and implemented by the US.
Europeans should have done more since 2014 but complaining about the small size of European militaries is a bad faith argument.

I am really quite exhausted by the idea that the US has extended its security umbrella to Europe since ww2 out of the goodness of their hearts. Yes, Europe should have done more, especially over the last two decades, but let‘s not pretend that US foreign policy was always motivated by altruism.
