Slovenia, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro? Throw in Bosnia and Serbia. Peaceful indeed, 140,000 dead and 4 million displaced when Yugoslavia imploded. Albania is a tinder box right now. Tensions are still present in Sarajevo. Go to these countries and see for yourself like I did. Ask the Slovenians about Ukraine. Their response may surprise you.
Also, not sure if this was in a post of yours—referring to weapons being shipped out as “old”—Javelins are not old. Unless I have it wrong, The order for 100 M1 Abrams tanks was for new builds.
In addition, the EU spent more money in Russia buying energy than they contributed to Ukraine’s defense. They basically funded the invasion. But whatever, what do I know? Maybe I should renew my Swiss passport LOL.
