I wish the EU agreed with you. That would surely mean they would not want to go on a 800 billion Euro spend of my taxpayer money to deter an "irrelevant country".

Fundamentally, it's not just about Russia. It's about not being carved up by the US and China.

We never left such world, it's just that the USA was the only great power for a few decades.
