They are ensuring their countries well being. They are doing that by ensuring future conflict is much more unlikely. If these measures were done earlier perhaps russia would not have started current invasion and we'd be much better off. So perhaps politicians failed by being compliant up to now. Try telling the baltics, poland, romania that they should not fear russia and continue trading... Same countries russia constantly threatens and are part of EU and NATO. Imagine germany's position if Poland is conquered by russia. > And no, no one would have had to fight anywhere else in Europe. That's a bold statement considering russia's posturing, threats, history and leaked initial plans.
