So now Russia is even threatening Finland and Sweden if they join NATO. This may all wake Europe up to the fact it needs to go on offence. Not necessarily military action yet, but a serious build-up of their military and a very serious posture of being absolutely willing to fight. No more appeasement. No more backing down. No more Munich agreements. No more weakness.
Russia and China have been for several years building up a global coalition that seeks to replace the West as the dominant world power, both economically and militarily.
There may no longer be any room for retreat.
