Europe prepares for a war Russia is already fighting

Original: Europe is gearing up for a future war Russia is already waging. For eight months after France and Britain formally decla

Commentators are comparing Europe's current posture toward Russia with the "phoney war" period after Britain and France declared war on Germany in September 1939, when eight months passed with remarkably little fighting on the western front. The argument circulating is that European states are rearming and preparing for a future conflict while Russia is already waging hybrid war against them now.

Why now: Ongoing concern about Russian aggression and whether Europe is responding too slowly, drawing a parallel with 1939
