    So currently europe is exposed to russia-ukraine, us-iran, and shortly china-taiwan. This is not a great place to be in.

        The only way to stop Putin is with military force.

        Europe is of course well aware that war with Russia seems increasingly inevitable, and have been preparing for it.

          What is the source for this? I have seen some news articles with this narrative, it was more on the line of fear-mongering rather than providing evidence.

            Ukraine is only Putin's first step, and Europe is well aware of that, so look at all the advanced weapons systems Europe is now giving to Ukraine (Storm Shadow, SCALP, SAMP/T etc), as well as the statements they are making. They are well aware this has made them a target for Putin, with UK missiles having been used against Black Sea targets etc, but are doing it all the same.

            Europe is not tolerating Russian drone incursions, and has been shooting them down, have been on air combat footing patrolling the finish border and Kalinograd region (operating out of Lithuania), boosting defense of the Suwałki Gap, etc.

            YouTube is perhaps one of the best sources of information, since US MSM is not interested.

              You lost me at this. If your official source of information is YouTube, then good luck.

                Try googling for information and use whichever news sources you prefer - just don't expect to find Fox News talking about it.
