You're conveniently omitting these all happened in response to the full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.

But thanks for proving the point about Russia's disinformation war.

Funny that I got three replies all stating the same thing, that Russia is the aggressor and has invaded Ukraine. Of course it is so, and then? Russia invaded Ukraine, not the EU. It's the EU that has decided to get involved in the war by supporting Ukraine.

  • Russia (or Putin, to be precise) has repeatedly threatened to invade EU members in the Baltics (rebuilding the SU/Russian Empire/etc), as well as threatened EU with stopping gas supply, which would've been a direct hit to the economy. These two are confirmed facts, there's also a lot more stuff speculated which you can freely find online.

  • Chamberlain decided not to join the war, look what that resulted in.

    • Well he did... just a few years later.

      To be fair in 1938 Britain hardly had a land army so France would have had to do all the fighting anyway. So whatever Chamberlain wanted to do didn't really matter that much.

  • Did you actually read all the posts pointing this and all the _other_ aggressive actions Russia is taking against the EU?

    Regardless, Russia is a bully and sticking your head in the sand won't make them go away.

    • Can you think of why Russia may be taking those aggressive actions? Was the EU and the USA friendly towards Russia or you truly believe aggression was one sided?? Just one example: NATO has always been Europe’s defense against Russia, no one else was seen as the enemy until China became powerful enough to, which apparently cannot be tolerated. Russia was always wary of NATO including more countries and that was always a big reason for the difficulties in normalizing relations with the West. Yet the West made absolutely no attempt to calm the Russians down and for some reason announced in 2008 plans to expand to Georgia and Ukraine, despite even Western experts warning about that being utterly provocative. You know the result of that, but still consider there was no provocation at all , Russia just behaves like an arse for no reason , right?
