Why is Europe afraid of Russia? Why is Russian territory so big?
Hello friends! Every day, with us, learn a little more knowledge. On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine, creating a shock for the whole of Europe. A fear enveloped the nations of the alliance, and historic changes took place.
The Federal Republic of Germany was the first member to change 180 degrees. Just two days after the war broke out They abandoned their policy of not sending weapons to conflict zones.
And then 1000 anti-tank missile launchers, 500 stinger air defense systems, 9 artillery vehicles, 14 armored vehicles and 10,000 tons of raw materials were delivered to Ukraine. Not only that, Prime Minister Olaf Scholz also announced that he will increase defense spending in 2022 to $ 112 billion, more than 2 times more than originally planned.
This makes Germany the country with the largest defense spending in Europe. This event was given a pretty cool name by the Western press: "The sleeping giant of Europe has awakened". Soon they were making the world nervous again.
Following Germany, are a number of NATO countries that have pledged to invest more money in the military sector. The most notable of which is France. UK. romania. Croatia. Poland and Greece.
In addition to NATO, two neutral countries, Finland and Sweden, also had revolutionary changes. They have sent weapons aid to Ukraine, while dramatically increasing defense spending and most importantly. For the first time after the Cold War, citizens of these two countries supported joining NATO.
However, Russia has issued a warning "If they decide to join this organization, they will have to suffer serious consequences".
From what has just been said, we can imagine that there is an existential fear that is pervading the whole of Europe. Why is that? . To answer this question, we first need to understand the thinking of Russians across generations.
