Not an easy answer,

Many can argue if this is needed, if it needs to be done, if we need more investment to the war systems, if it won't bring more tension between the NATO and Russia (and it will).

But they picked a side!

They joined NATO, they joined EU.

So what now?

Should they act as a part of the western sociopolitical movement or should they go the route of France, Poland or other countries that actually can't produce anything, but they sure as hell can "protest" and block everything as their national politics?

This is exactly an illustration why EU fails on all levels - there is not and will never be unity.

This is exactly why US is and will still be extremely important player on the world field - there is unity, there are moves, are they always right?

Of course not - check a certain recent affair in the middle East, that cost twice as much as Vietnam already.

But you can't try to operate anything and get any results, if your crew is full of cats and dogs that hassle among each other, instead of following the line.
