    This right here is my problem with Europe - we allow ruskie bydło to burn our warehouses and factories and we don’t do anything in return, giving them a green light.

    Governments should use special forces to perform sabotage ops in Russia as well.

      The goal of a lot of these attacks are explicitly to provoke a dramatic response, by quietly dealing with these threats Europe denies Russia their victory. It’s also cheaper to just fix the damage then start a war or escalate. Russia’s goal for these attacks appear to be provoke a kinetic response that the Kremlin can point to to justify further wars and mobilization.

      Not really. Russia is a little kid while Europe is the adult. No need to escalate it. In many scenarios Russia is going to fall anyways.

        No. We’re all adults in the real world. At this time Russia has strategic leverage over Europe’s energy. European defense capacity and readiness is also a problem in escalation. That said, shit or get off the pot EU and UK
