I however am concerned at what appears to me to be a lack of readiness on the part of the European Forces to do much in the current situation should a kinetic response be required.
You have the luxury, at a distance, of just being concerned.
I sit here, being of the boomer generation born after the end of WWII and hoping to be the first in centuries not to face being involved in an existential war, facing the imminent risk of another - triggered by chance or happenstance - and with politicians who seem blind or paralysed to the threat and making no effort to prepare against the possibility.
