We are on the brink of something big

I think that many people feel this way in Europe too. It feels like pretty dark times. The threat of war is becoming more tangible. I sincerely hope that recent events prompt Europe to greatly increase its efforts in building up its militaries but I fear that it won't. I fear that we will just kick the can down the road some more whilst making nominal budget increases which barely scratch the surface. I honestly don't blame America for asking Europe to step up, it's about time that we stopped cutting our militaries to the bare bones. The state of our defence forces in the UK is embarrassing. What's even more embarrassing though is the idea that we would accept Ukraine having to give up it's sovereign territory to an invading force. That's a sad day for the world.
