Europe needs stronger Leaders who will deal with Putin. At the moment Putin is running rings round this bunch of weak European Leaders. If the boot was on the other foot Putin wouldn’t hesitate to use frozen assets to fund his war with Ukraine. Why are we so scared of repercussions and condemnation from Putin. Just take the Russian Assets and provide the Ukraine with them. Give the Ukraine the means to defeat Putin and make his personal war unpopular in Russia. The Ukrainians need long range missiles to target Russian key positions and even target the civilian infrastructure in the same way Putin does in the Ukraine.
Europe needs strong Leaders in preparation for war with Russia now. War with Putin is inevitable because Europe cannot allow Putin to win the Ukraine. Europe must do all it can to defeat Putin.
. Russia this is a red circle 
. Russia this is a white triangle . Russia this is a green triangle 
. As you can see non of this is true but if Putin says it’s so then you wouldn’t question him would you? In Russia the truth is what Putin declares to be the truth and nothing else. Why one person holds a monopoly on the truth well only Russian people could give an answer to that question. The Russian psyche has become a mystery to the free thinking westerners. Why Russians have handed over the power of their own minds to question, to a supreme leader who supplies all the answers and tells them what to believe is the truth is something that we in the West find difficult. Now Putin controls all the media and the whole narrative and has installed or should I say reinstalled the KGB to police what people in Russia are thinking. Putin tells you what to think and what to believe and the masses who believe him then police other citizens to impose Putin’s rule of law. Putin controls the media, the internet and the police and army and these are exactly the things he needs which allow him to be a dictator. Russians may be suspicious but they are also unquestioning. They are suspicious of one another and of anything Putin declares to be dangerous to them such as westerners. Despite Russian’s suspicion of the West, nobody in Russia can trust anyone else either. This is the society that Putin thrives on. It’s the KGB all over again. Turning your neighbours and so called friends, even family into the authorities for not thinking correctly. As a Russian you cannot trust anyone else and neither can you think for yourself. It’s easier to let Putin decide what you can think and believe than to hold opinions which may be at odds to those of your despotic leader. That would be too dangerous. Putin says that this is a Red triangle
