      Even in such a dire situation (forget Ukraine for a second, I say this as a Ukrainian), they are going to be extremely slow and reactive.

      If they had any brains (or balls), the EU leaders would have gone on full war footing (both in terms of industrial production and military preparedness) three years ago. But as we can see they just wanted to kick the can down the road and avoid difficult decisions.

      Look at how Russia is struggling with Ukraine, especially considering their losses. They wouldn‘t stand a chance against the EU.

        It depends on how effective Russia is in subverting the EU countries from within. Every one of those countries has quislings like Orban.
