Pekka Toveri (EPP) delivers a powerful reminder: Europe cannot afford to ignore the Russian threat. Drawing on the painful history of countries like Finland, Estonia, and Poland, he rejects the notion that diplomacy alone can stop aggression. Toveri stresses the need for continued defence investments to ensure Europe’s security and protect future generations. Highlighting the real power behind Russia’s defence budget, he urges Europe to stay on course. Watch to understand why he believes defence readiness is not optional—it’s essential.

    I think Russia is an imperialist monster and as such a threat to Europe, but most some of Europe illegally invaded Iraq & Lybia and they deliver weapons and are mostly pro-Israel. So we’re not better we’re just not attacking our direct neighbors anymore.

    So the top-level comment does have a point but only because we’re hypocrites

      Let’s take all EU+ former EU+ eea countries = 31 countries

      2003 invasion of Iraq:

      USA, UK, Australia, Poland

      2/31 = not most


      Intervention in Libya 2011:

      12/31 = still not most
