Ukraine says Russia has launched the biggest aerial attack since the start of the war

4. Well I saw this yesterday

In an about-face, Germany plans to build Europe's biggest military

So there is definitely some rejiggering going on there.

They are dealing with a problem with the U.S. that they haven't had to face since WWII, and more comprehensively, since the formation of the EU in the early '90s in the midst of the fall of the U.S.S.R.

The first term of 45 was mainly dealing with a spoiled toddler who could quickly devolve into temper-tantrums. But now they are seeing there are more sinister staff behind that facade of 45, who are a true threat, and who mean it when they say that they don't want anything to do with Ukraine, Europe, or anyone else (except maybe Russia).

Meanwhile, EU countries are still tied to Russia for LNG, so until they are completely free of Russia, they have to kowtow to a certain degree.

So since they HAVE to plan for the short-term, mid-term, and long-term, they had to get a feel for which way things were going to go with us and adjust accordingly. And they are starting to look at worst case scenarios and trying to come up with how to deploy a realignment in a way that is nimble enough to reverse, should our democracy hold, and we can get a new administration in place that is not GOP.
