Russia is blatantly waging war against Western Europe, and no one is doing anything about it because they aren’t using strictly military equipment, and acknowledging that the war has already started would have implications the EU doesn’t want to admit, yet.
Yes, Russia and China is fighting a war against the West, and we are standing with our pants down. No need to start shooting, but their actions should be met with equal force (eg. make it a similar hurdle for Chinese business to operate in EU, than it is for us to do business in China). And for fuck’s sake, ban all Russian propaganda and punish domestic supporters, as it’s affecting our politics.

Don’t just blame it on Russia. It’s the entire east. This is all very purposeful. See: Asian Century.
