Jordan Maris 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #NAFO

I started 2024 in a bomb shelter near Kyiv, where I drafted my thoughts about our collective failure to support . In the article, I asserted we were already at war with , and that a direct attack by Russia on the was inevitable.

I ended the article by floating the idea that our support had come too little too late, and that we may need to intervene militarily in Ukraine.⬇️

jmaris.meEurope is already at war with Russia — it's time to start acting like itSince the outbreak of Russia’s brutal war of aggression against Ukraine, Europe has walked an imaginary tightrope between supporting Ukraine, and preventing escalation. But as the war enters its second year, it is clear that this policy has backfired: our failure to supply the weapons needed to neutralise Russia has harmed Ukraine, emboldened Putin, and made a Russian attack on Europe even more likely. If we are to defeat Russia, it is time we admit that we are at war, and act like it.

Now we have a presidency saying the US is no longer focused on Europe's security, as well as regular Russian sabotage and attempted assassinations on European soil. If we allow Russia to win in Ukraine, or to achieve an unjust peace, it will be a matter of years before Russia attacks the European Union, leveraging its territorial gains in Ukraine, and US indifference. ⬇️

There is a small window in which Europe could intervene in Ukraine and defeat Russia, essentially neutralising a major threat to European Security. That window is closing, now our politicians need to have the courage to do what the allies failed to do in 1938: to stop a tyrant before it is too late. [/thread]

@jmaris That moment when you believe a post to be true, but don't want to boost it and definitely don't like it.

@simon_brooke it's even worse when you have to write it, trust me. I've seen first hand what awaits us if we enter the conflict now, and it is terrible. The only reason I think it's justified is because I know just how much worse it will be if we don't.

@jmaris I'm sure Europeans don't want any advice from an American, but it would be cool if:
Ukraine could join the EU.
Every rich Russian enjoying life in europe were deported.
Russian assets in Europe were seized.

@jmaris really #Russia is at war with the world they routinely cyber attack the western world with state sponsored teams. We need to stop this, we’re wasting millions on a defence that cost the attackers minimal amounts.
