In 2022 I wouldn’t think that one man would mean so much and have such vast powers behind them. That one of their orders and choices would change things so much. Because of what Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to do. He has initiated not only war against the brothers in Kyiv. No, he not only gone against a peaceful neighbour and the peaceful republic of Ukraine. No, he has actually made decisions, which will backfire for him in the long run.
Russia is not only meeting joint efforts of meaningless sanctions and pointless gatherings of press releases from Brussels. No, at this point, they are starting to target vital industries and banking functions. The European leaders and European nations are acting as a collective to punish Russia. They are going together and looking to means to harm and undermine the war-machine of Kremlin. That’s something we wouldn’t have seen coming.
What Putin didn’t see either was the sudden will of sending of weaponry, military equipment and advanced military technology to Ukraine. The European nations and NATO allies are now jointly supporting the military needs of Ukraine. They are selling and donating this to boost it’s effort to defend itself and show it support in this war.
Vladimir Putin who wanted to retake and reshape Europe. The man who wanted to revive the old empire of Russia and take back the sphere of which the Soviet Union ruled supreme. Has clearly lost an edge and not seen the sentiments across the continent. Instead of getting more nations close or wanting to associate with Russia. He is now making sure they are either distancing themselves or trying to find ways to get closer to the European coalitions.
Putin is ensuring that Finland and Sweden might join NATO quicker. Heck, his maybe able to get further former USSR republics to join EU and NATO as well. Because, they rather be part of these defence pacts and alliances, than risking the sudden invasion of Russia. That is the price and the additional cost of this invasion.
Vlad of Moscow didn’t consider this. That his action would have a chain reaction. Where further states and nations might seek a closer association with the bodies of Brussels. Because, they see the value of this and how it operates. They are actually safeguarding and doing what is right. Instead of coming with brutal force and total destruction. Since that is what Putin’s Russia is offering at this current moment.
It is a long time or I cannot remember seeing the bodies of EU working in such a joint effort. The defence and support of Ukraine has united them. The sort of war on their borders has showed them the need of the alliance and the union. It shows the value of the cooperation and coordination of the nations. In such a fashion, that Putin should feel lonely in palace, which he resides. Only waiting for “yes-men” fearing his will and orders, as they have to enact them. If they are possible or not.
Putin has ironically united Europe and solidified the need for NATO. That was clearly not the objective or the ideals behind the invasion of Ukraine. However, that is one of the achievements of the war. He has embarked on ab enterprise, which showed the rest of us. That we need each other to be safe from people like him. Peace.
