Oh, hospitals and schools trump (sorry about that!) everything else here too. Russia remains a threat to Europe and the World in my view, whatever flag it flies.
The echoes of the 30s are striking. First you start 'liberating' neighbouring countries with large populations sharing your own language and culture, when you run out of them you carry on 'liberating' all the others. The lack of resolve of others about what to do about your rampage serves your purpose well until it is too late to do anything other than go to war. Even then a lack of resolve allows your successes to continue until your own hubris brings about a downfall that leaves death and ruin in its wake for entire populations.
NATO is as important to world peace now as ever it were. Otherwise it is Deja Vu all over again!
