> But - do we even have an efficient way of defending against drone warfare? Are we ready for eventual Russian response? Civilian victims in Tallinn or Warsaw? Retaliatory strikes that flatten what is left of Ukrainian energy infrastructure?
If Russia would benefit from droning random civilians in Europe they'd already be doing it, same as with 'flattening what's left of Ukrainian energy infrastructure'. Just about the only card they haven't yet played is nuclear weapons, which they won't use despite all the blustering.
> How far would you be willing to take it?
Give Ukraine what it needs to kill off the invaders effectively rather than provide this silly dripfeed of support. Russia is welcome to try and fight modern materiel with donkeys.
Ideally just straight up bomb Russian troops inside Ukraine's territory as well, but I don't expect the spineless Eurocrats to do anything like that even if their own houses would be firebombed by Russian patsies.
Russia is clearly acting according to Lenin’s "probe with bayonets, if you encounter mush, push, if you encounter steel, withdraw". If EU just found their own balls the war would be wrapped in no more than a year, and with practically zero EU casualties. All this pussyfooting around just means that it'll drag on and on because well, why would Russia stop? It's not like they care about the well-being of their own people.
