What is the EU waiting for?!? [View all]

Another night of mass Russian attacks on Ukraine along with numerous incursions into NATO airspace and another day of muted response from the EU. I won't say NATO because Donnie Rotten's love affair with tyrant Putin has removed the U.S. from the equation.

The EU has a GDP ten times the size of Russia, so if they wake up and get serious they could bankrupt the Russian war machine in no time.

Why is the EU not gearing up for all out war with Putin and his cronies? They can either fight them in Ukraine now or fight them in eastern Europe later, but any realist knows that Putin wants to restore the old Soviet Empire and the only way to stop him is to bring the fight to Russia.

Look to 1938-1939 for direction.
