Europe’s leaders are scrambling. Their hastily convened security summit in Paris on Monday is proof of that.
They are still reeling from not being invited by the US to talks with Russia over the future of Ukraine. US President Donald Trump said on Sunday he could be meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin “very soon”.
Can Europe, under pressure, put political differences and domestic economic concerns aside, and come up with a united front on security spending and on Ukraine’s future, including potentially sending troops there - to force themselves a spot at the negotiating table?
They are going to try.

Can or can’t, they’ll have to…
All along…if they don’t get involved when Ukraine is invaded then they will have to get involved when Poland is.
I think that a Poland attack is pretty far away. Poland has a pretty big armed service.
Next is more likely to be the Baltics if Putin is feeling brave, or back south to Georgia if Putin is nervous about the Scandinavian/Baltic alliance.
Put has also had his eye on Moldova for quite some time.
But it’s on the other side of Ukraine and even if he would take over completely there, I’m pretty sure Ukraine would go into guerilla mode not exactly helping an invasion of Moldova. But it’s russia after all, so better not reply on logic alone🙈
Armenia might also be an option if he wants to be best buds with Azerbaijan again.
I’m sure he’d love to get his hands on Armenia, but that’s not a big threat to Europe.
Neither is Georgia nor Moldova.
What are you talking about? Moldova is between Ukraine and Romania.
Oh no, what if it’s actually a rom-com: will they, won’t they.
