It’s like living in an alternate reality. I read the quoted text thinking it must’ve been written a couple of years ago. What do they hope this will achieve? Did they forget that Russia has nukes and animation and has already been defeating not just these three yapping dogs but the whole of NATO?

Also, you don’t need a bilateral treaty to help someone with a right to self defence. Britain and France could help today if they wanted to. I can’t see what will change by July that will motivate them to do what they haven’t already done (i.e. send in uniformed troops).
