You do realize the EU has a mutual protection clause similar to Nato. Russia can't exactly invade. It's economy is smaller than Italy's. I don't think the EU depends as much on US defence as some Americans would have one believe.
- colinmhayes 6y agoRussia already invaded Ukraine.
- lolinder 6y agoUkraine isn't in the EU, so that doesn't actually prove anything about the EU's ability to defend itself.
- lucian1900 6y agoAfter the Ukrainian state was taken over by fascists in 2014 and started threatening ethnic Russians and Jews in the Donbass, a local referendum was held on whether to ask for help from the Russian Federation. After it was won, the help was provided. Like most history, it's a bit more complicated than it first appears.
- modo_mario 6y agoIt wasn't taken over by fascists and didn't start "threatening ethnic Russians and jews in Donbass" get that imperialist propaganda bs out of here. It let some fascist boneheads put themselves forwards as canonfodder when it was invaded which Russia loves to focus on but I can hardly blame them for that.
- modo_mario 6y agoUkraine isn't in EU. It was aligned more with Russia until they revolted.
