Well, Europe, let's stop complaining and let's rearm ourselves. Not only our military, but also our industry and our political power. It's nice to have high living standards and social benefits but you need to be able to pay for them and to defend yourself against who wants to take it from you

Perfectly said.

I have to say, as a European I find the complete lack of strategic foresight and initiative incredibly infuriating. It has been pretty obvious for well over a decade both that 1) Russia is an aggressively revanchist state and 2) that strategically the US is far more interested in Asia than it was in Europe. And yet our leaders still do a 'surprised pikachu face' when these 2 obvious facts are pushed in front of them, and quibble about seriously providing for the defence of our continent.
