I think polticla leader sin Europe already have started to move back into their convenience zones of just ignroing what they do not want to see. In NATO and in many countries, improvements of defence topics has alreadsy been started to ciruelcate back and fiorth in panning gremia endlessly, in potlicla boiards, and committees where everybody fights to have his ego getting enough attention paid to. Like the Zeitenwende by Babble Olaf already was watered down within the very same week he spoke that speech, all claims and plans and ambiitons declared one year ago and before have started to get watered down as well again. Worse, they alraeyd have started to ignore Russian threats again. Esoecially bad the siutaiton is with the German SPD, the chancellor'S own party, that now openly lobbies for giving Russia what in their perception it wants in this moment - and ignroign that in fact Russia wants uch, much more - that gets compeletly ignored, to a adegree where they even refuse to asnwer quesiton for that.
Th Germans are a very, very big problem. Not the only one, but probably the biggest one. Politically, and militarily. Also, a general issue with NATO is too low reserves of evertyhing, at least in Europe, but smart weapons soon will run out for America as well if it gets engaged in Takwan or Eastenr Europe. Politicians behave and act as if we had all time in the world. We haven't. And I fear we once again will wake up too late, and then pay a very very cruel, bitter price for our idiocy. Our stupidity is unforgivable. I do not believe that NATO is as strong and deterring as many popular names claim. Regarding Hodges, he ahs amde many wrong assessments about the Ukriane war and the chance sof Ukraine last year, too many as if I still pay too much attention to him. Also, his political assessments on the situation of European suppoort and how it would develope, was totally off the mark in parts. Hodges to me is hopelessly optimistic. Maybe he thinks he miust painmt the situaiton rozy, as moral support and to blind the Russians. But I doubt they buy it, and certainly I don't.

There's a huge different in how they fight in the war. Ukraine goes after non-civilian targets, while Russia goes after civilian targets

Somebody is fighting total war? No fair, we only want to play at fighting a war.
Funny how characterizing your enemy as "Hitler incarnate" or some such thing seems to alleviate the need to try and negotiate any kind of peace deal in this day and age. Also seems to absolve you of cheating in elections, rewriting election law at the last second, or any other questionable behavior such as leaving your border totally open.

And... Lukashenko ruined everything as usual "As soon as there was information from the security services that the car with terrorists was moving in the direction of Bryansk, it was agreed that Belarus would block its part of the direction of the likely movement of criminals, and the Russian side its own. They saw that, that's why they turned away and went to the section of the Ukrainian-Russian border," said Lukashenko. Thus, Lukashenko questioned the Kremlin's unlikely version that the terrorists were moving to a pre-opened "window" on the border with Ukraine.
Putin: It was Ukraine. ISIS-K: No, it was us, we claimed it. Putin: It was Ukraine! ISIS-K: No, it was us, here we made videos with the proof. Putin: IT WAS UKRAINE!!!! Lukashenko: The ISIS-K terrorist wanted to flee to our border, Ukraine was second choice. Putin: Bugger, you got a tea invitation. ISIS-K: See! It was us.
