    Where do you get the impression that Russia isn’t a threat? Ukraine proves that it very much is.

      Where do you get the impression that Russia isn’t a threat?

      Having a military that’s in such a supposed desolate state is mutually exclusive to being a threat. That’s like claiming a teenager with a slingshot is a threat to a gang of polige officers with assault rifles.

      Ukraine proves that it very much is.

      I don’t follow. The invasion of Ukraine had a strategic motivation behind it (so did the annexation of Crimea). What possible strategic benefit would it have for Russia to attack the EU?

      That’s like claiming that the US is about to invade Mexico, because of the Iraq war(s).
