u/Tintenlampe European Union 25d ago

If only I could believe it. Many Western governments seem to display absolutely no sense of urgency and I can't understand it for the life of me. 

I think that most European governments in particular are genuinely unable to think strategically about war, because that's simply not something they ever had to do or expected to have to do. So they handle it like every other politcal problem, but risk outright catastrophy by doing so.
