In response to the quote you cited:
What if the orange regime decides to go balls to the wall on Greenland? What’s the play? Roll over and acquiesce? Ask them to stop, while they categorically ignore the requests, and likely clown on the relative powerlessness of the EU military apparatus?
Seriously, if any senior officer in the EU can’t see that for the clear and present danger that it is, they should be fired. Of course it’s a dangerous situation. But decades of letting EU defense is how they got here, and hard choices are now becoming necessary. Better to start the process and endure the pain now, than to be forced into even worse compromises due to imminent or active military action.
It's just the classic "Im too old or stuborn to imagine anything different than today"
It's the same people throwing tantrums at their phone because they moved a setting.
