The constant Russian interference, combined with the regular escalation from the jets patrolling, and the radar jamming, really needs to be dealt with.

We're stuck between having to do timid actions and full NATO escalation. This feels like constant creep.

Nato is a defensive alliance against any offensive act. Russia, ...as in: the mafia of the few profiteering rulers currently at the helm, is not fighting back anything. Firstly, its mad Ukrainian adventure has meant it has made its border very defence-free on its border with Nato countries. Secondly, it is constantly attacking in hybrid warfare mode, paying local lowlife to do propaganda graffiti and sabotage. The appropriate response is to hold all responsible individuals accountable. Eventually the lower ranks will understand that playing along to Old-man-putin's tune of death won't bring them closer to anything but grief.

> Lucky Russia to have the strength to make their enemies fear them.

Russia has enemies because for centuries it has attacked its neighbours repeatedly.

And then imposed its own idea of peace that involves tanks rolling through Budapest and soldiers executing students and poets.

Tiananmen square shocked the world, but that kind of behaviour was already familiar to Eastern Europeans. It was the same old song, different orchestra.

Russia is not your friend, no matter what the propaganda tells you and your countrymen.

You’re just momentarily useful to a warlike mafia controlling a country.

The same can be said of the French, English and Germans, that only stop destroying themselves after they united to fight Russia (which ironically saved the first 2 against the last one otherwise they would not even exist as sovereign states anymore).

I think you're forgetting somebody important? Another country that was actually on the beaches in Normandy?
