Indeed. Next time the Russians - and Belarus is Russia, without Russian patronage and support Belarus and Lukashenko would be nothing - maybe decide to intercept a plane over the Baltic and in international airspace, they have air superiority over much of it both in fighters and missiles. What will the Europeans and NATO then do? The Russians can assassinate people in London and in Berlin Tiergarten in daylight and in public, and nothing serious happens. They can run a stunt like this one in Minsk, and the EU only considers symbolic acts as TV news just said over here: more listings (banning regime figures from travelling to the EU and fr4eezing their bank accounts - as if they would still hold their money within European reach. Its not just germany protecting Russia from serious, hurting consequences, France is busy doing so as well in their obsession to confront the Yanks and limit their influence in Europe that France plans to be Francophile.


Loud words simply do not scare away thnew bad guys - Europeans want to be taken as stroing buddies wiohtout being striong buddies. Thats like a weight lifter wanting to be strong without training his muscles and having an according diet.
