Hopefully this is just the start of a new way to handling these situations. A number of other NATO countries in the area from Finland to Bulgaria could do the same.

      Even when they were doing the far-right backsliding thing, no, not really. There seems to be a lot of actual russophobia going on there, because history.

      Before someone bugs me about it, no, shooting down the drones was not an example, and yes, there are plenty of reasons to not like Russia besides that. I do subscribe here after all.

      No but their new president was still Russian’s favorite candidate because he’s ensuring political standstill by vetoing everything and using some anti Ukrainian populism.

      Putin doesn’t care if he’s against Russia if the end result is deteriorating democracy, populism against Ukraine, and political standstill.
