    Thank fuck some leaders aren’t going down the “appease the dictator” route. The west has tried for decades to appease Russia, but it doesn’t work. Dictators only see our appeasement efforts as weakness.

    The only way for lasting peace is for a pan-Europan defence committment. Peacekeepers stationed there is a good part of that.

    Trump has made clear the US can’t always be relied upon, so working closely with EU nations is a good move.
